Looking at a 2516 and a 2816

I had a 2615 and used it for everything. I used a finish mower, brush hog and even pulled a 14" two bottom plow with it. As far as finish mowing goes, under proper use, it will do a little damage when turning on the lawn. I was concerned up until the next mowing...the grass grew back and you could not see any dead spots.
As far as loader work, the machine needs more weight, the same thing when plowing, and back blade use. I traded in my 2615 and purchased a Bobcat CT335, now that is a all around machine! It does everything my 2615 did, but 100 times better. I got it for $18XXX.XX OTD. I suggest you get a little bigger machine than what you think you need, it saves money in the long run and you will find that the extra weight and HP's will do you well.
Good Luck in your search.
