They should have moved the 2815 and made it a 3016 or something like that. Will the increased HP of th 2615 icrease on the PTO as well? I know Kubota bumped the HP up on the 2800/3400 for emissions, I think the new 2800s are close to 30 HP now. |
The 2615 has always compared well to other brands 28-30HP machines, except in advertised HP. This will help even that up. As far as the 2815, the 3215 is the same with a turbo and it sells much better. It seems for most dealers that the people willing to step up from the 2615 made the step to the 32 much more often than to the 2815HST. I'm not sure why, but the market has proven that out.
