AGCO/Massey wouldn't rate the loader higher than the front axle could handle... I'm sure they still built in a more than adequate safety margin. The front axle would be the least of my concerns, Iseki builds a tough tractor.
Going orange..maybe..

Good Morning Fiziksgeek,
How are the price comparisons between the B2620 and the B2650 ? I would think that may be a determining factor on which machine to buy.
Are you going out to the Kubota dealer on Rt 63 in Bethany, Ct ?
You also mentioned that the wife is on board, but this is the last time, my thought is that you ever decide to buy a larger piece of property that you may be happy you have a slightly larger tractor. The B2650 looks to only be about 2000 to 2200 lbs, not terrible in the weight department !
Good luck with your upgrade !

I probably wouldn't go with the B2620, but wait for B2601. I haven't gotten pricing on a B2601, and its not up on the Kubota website yet, but it should be similar to the Canadian pricing, ~$1250 price difference between B2601 and B2650.
My GC2400 is 1433 lbs, the B2601 is 1632 lbs , and the B2650 is 1786 lbs. If I went with the biggest model, that's ~350 lbs more...but much bigger tires...so maybe the actual PSI on the ground isn't much different. The mower are all about the same weight, and I typically drop the loader for mowing...not always, but usually, as it makes it much more difficult to maneuver around.
I don't think there is a Kubota dealer in Bethany, I think that's a Mahindra dealer. I went to R&S in New Milford, CT, they also have a location in Torrington, CT.
Bigger property probably not in the list in the next 20 years...not that I can really plan that far out, but the wifey doesn't not want to move again!

A BX or similar sized machine would probably be plenty for 1.5 acres, but it never hurts to think about going bigger. Especially if you have plans to expand.

I have a Massey Ferguson GC2400....approximately equivalent to a BX2370. The thread is about my search for something bigger....how much bigger is the question!

I think there might be a Kioti dealer over that way....I'm not that familiar with that area though. But they are orange, and from the road, could easily be mistaken for Kubota!
