Just picked up a B2650 today. Open station, FEL, SSQA, 60" bucket, Turf tires, One rear remote, quick hitch. Bought it from Burke Equipment in DE for 18600. I thought this was a pretty good deal. I was looking to replace John Deere 750 2wd, gear, no loader, no power steering, without go larger in size, I was also looking for a bit more HP.
This will be a thread for everyone to see what life with a small compact is like, or at least mine. I will post what I do with it and when I do them, both for the knowledge of the forum and it may help me remember when/how I did things.
Picked it up today around noon with .5 hrs, brought it out to the farm to pick up the rake, dad asked me rake the lane did that, then brought it home. tomorrow rake my driveway swap to the rear mount mower and then take the JD back to town. We're upto 1.3 hours now.
Need to do a couple things add hooks and 2" receiver to the bucket, receiver will require a bit of fabrication. I would like to widen the front track, don't know if I can flip the front wheels to do that or not. I will find out. The remote is kinda ugly looking, but I haven't found a way to make it better looking/protected. However it does give e nice place to lean against.
Pics to come tomorrow when it's not dark.
