New B2650 Owner

[vacman]

Hey Tom,

I don't know the weight specs of mine, but I've used a 6' blade for years to move snow with no trouble. My last tractor was quite a bit lighter than this one and it worked just fine.

Take care.

John

Welcome back to TBN and the east coast Tom and congrats on your soon to be new tractor! :drink:I suspect you'll be pleased with Kahn's. I have purchased parts from them in the past for my old tractor and have always liked the staff there. I also got to know one of the salesman from doing some window shopping; great guy. Even bought a used chipper from him on a private sale as he had it sitting in his barn and was not using it. Would have bought my new tractor from them if they could match the price of another dealer that I was also very pleased with.

Sounds like you will have alot of fun completing projects at your new place with your new machine. Post some pictures once you get it.:cool2:

I have used my brother in laws 72" box blade and 72" rotor tiller on mine and it handled them no problem at all.

Congratulations on the new tractor and homestead!
I bought a 2006 B3030 a few months ago and it's been one of the best toys I've ever bought.

I really like the house. It reminds me of mine which I build 28 years ago.
It has the double roof lines like yours but I added dormers on the lower section.

I always thought the 2650 was a nice size tractor. Big enough to get some real work done yet small enough to get into tight spaces easily and not so heavy that it's damaging to most yards. I really like the cab model that they offer to. I'm surprised to hear that It could handle a 6 foot box blade though. I would think a 5' would be a much better fit.

Signed the final paperwork today and sat on MY tractor. Being delivered on Wed morning. Of course we're getting a foot of snow this weekend and I still need to use the snowblower. My SO sitting on the new tool. Bucket is getting hooks welded on.

Congrats on your new tools verdemont. Nice to see the SO getting attached to the tools as well.

A side question.I had the opportunity to pick up a Hydro 2650 w/o an FEL that had only 10 hours on it for 13k. I'm assuming this was a great deal, am I correct? I got my new MF 1726E gear for just under 1k less so I jumped at that. I couldn't swing a deal with my local Kubota dealer and this 2650 was with a JD dealer and I didn't want to have to potentially bring in another dealers Kubota into the local dealership in the future.

I'm still waiting on delivery and haven't actually had a chance to sit on MY new tractor yet.

 

[Verdemont]

Jibe: Not sure if that is a great deal or not. I'd use the Kubota "Build my Tractor" tool and then subtract 8-10% from that price to see what a new one costs.

A local eastern CT non-Kubota dealer has a 2013 B3300SU with FEL and 18 hours for $17K. That was a pretty good deal but I passed as it was out of warranty and dealer bought it at an auction so no history. Kubota does NOT have a national data base of services performed on a tractor so you'd have to find the original dealer.

Congrats.

Tom
