Equipment
B2650, FEL With QA 60"mmm, 3pt FDR1672,homemade ballast box, BB 1572 box scraper
I have a B2650 that I have put 750 hrs on in 2 1/2yrs. It definitely has better creature comforts than the L series. It isnt as heavy as the L series, but is a very capable machine. My profession was running equipment for a living so have got to try alot of different pieces out. Alot of what I did was site and dirt work. On my property of 13 acres, which was old farm field, because it is so rough I rototill and regrade a 1/2 to 2/3 of an acre a year. My boxblade is a Land Pride 1572 which is heavy duty 72". I use low range and 4wd and can pull it up through with a full load of dirt and all of the teeth down 2"s down in the dirt with no problem and not spin a tire. I have never had a problem running out of power even running things like the boxblade that is on the big side for it or my brother in laws 72" rototiller that I could bury all of the way down and walk right up through before I bought my 66" Land Pride. I also run a 72" rfm with no problem at all. I am doing all of this with the tires not being loaded due to the fact I mow my yard with my 60"mmm. You could sure add some weight that way, depending on what you want to do. It is very comfortable, and nimble and has been a real work horse. Just telling you my experience with mine, and for its size is a very capable machine. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask. Good luck with what ever you decide.Mike -- that is a good point and yes more of an on and off for smaller jobs...definitely will NOT be doing a cab allowing for quicker easier on and off -- I have the Cab with heat/AC/Stereo on the M5.
Just concerned the B2650 wont have the HP to pull a bogged down box scraper or a grading scraper and etc.?
