Need help from the Orange experts. Looking to purchase a BX2360 or the BX2660. I will be mowing and using the FEL most of the time. Occassional 3pt use. Will I notice a HP difference? Thanks.
You'll probably notice the improved seat on the 2660 most. either tractor has ample power for mowing and loader work. rough cut mower or tiller might use the extra power. But the 2660 just sounds so much stronger!!
I own a 2660 so I am partial to my 2660. With that said I also own several older and larger kubotas. I looked at the 1860;2360 and the 2660 when I was looking for a replacement to retire 2 older wheelhorses a 416 and a 520 which both have 3500 hrs each. I looked at a new 1860 and 2360 but the 2660 was used and had 175 hrs on it. I bought the 2660 not because of the smokin deal I got but because I saw that it had more and better power, the FEL was a stronger, and could use my three point hitch implements much better with less stress and strain on my tractor.
I have a 2360 only cause I couldnt use a bigger tractor in the orchard,, that being said, that litttle 2360 has done any and ever thing I ever asked of it,, both will do a good job if you use it for its intended uses
I have had many tractors over 50 years. I have one rule of thumb that I go by. When picking which model to go with - go with more HP. It is just maybe the one time that you need it but it is great to have to get out of trouble.
