Upgrading to B model.

[Shawn T. W]

I'm not sure there is gonna be a big upgrade from a BX to a B ... A L has quite a bit more weight, hence more lifting and carrying capacity ... Unless your needing PTO HP, I'd skip over the higher HP B's ... My brother has a cabbed B3030 for snowblowing ...

I think you can get more HP in the little tractors than your tractor tires can handle ... I have a SCUT and the 25 HP engine is more than capable even with filled tires and steel wheel weights, it can still spin the tires and get pushed around!

Here you can barely see the additional 275 Lbs of steel weight lifting plates I've added to the BH frame for additional weight, the rear blade still pushed me sideways!

How about a B26 TLB? According to TractorData, it weighs almost twice what a B3030 does; that may include FEL and BH vs bare B3030.

Yeah, most tractor weights are bare tractor ... My little SCUT is roughly 1500 pounds if bought as a tractor ... The removable part of the loader with bucket is 453 Lbs, and the removable part of my BH is 651 Lbs ... But the TLB as I bought it is listed at 3000 Lbs ... Plus I have 300 Lbs of wheel/tire weight ...
