Hello everyone...
I'm in the market for a tractor, and came across a couple threads here discussing Kubota's new B2601 model. I was looking at the B2620 previously, but after learning about the B2601 here, I went to the Canadian site and learned more about the 2601. After comparing the two, I decided to call around and get some early pricing information.
Now for my questions:
-I called two dealers, and neither could quote a price. One acted as if they'd never heard of it and seemed completely unaware the model existed. What is the real availability of these in the US? It's odd that it's not on the US website, and the local dealers don't seem overly knowledgeable about them.
-If someone has seen them in the US, are the near the same price point as the B2620?
-Are the upgrades/features of the B2601 worth the wait for these to arrive locally? I think they probably are, but curious for input here, and comparison to the 2620.
My family recently closed on about 60 acres of land and a cabin/deer camp, and that's where the tractor will see most of it's work. I'm intending to get a logging winch for it for cutting firewood, site/road work, small food plot work, and home snow removal in the winters. The B series 26 hp. is a nice compromise for me to have adequate power and weight, but still be small enough to trailer to the new property.
I apologize for all the questions in the first post, I just got the feeling the the 2601 was the right tractor after reading about them, and was a bit deflated talking to local dealers and hearing their lack of knowledge and/or info.
Thanks for any input and answers!
