I'm working with my dealer on pricing both the B2601 and LX2610 (ROPS, not cab). Initial purchase will be loader/bucket, grapple, pallet forks. Maybe a flail mower or LaneShark or both. Trading in my BX1860 (MMM, loader). We moved from a 2 acre property in Massachusetts where I mowed the grass with the BX and did various stuff with the FEL, to a 16+ acre property in New Hampshire where the BX is just way too small for the jobs we need to do. We're not mowing the grass here (friend comes and does a great job at a great price for that).
We are doing a lot of brush clearing, low limb removal from the trees, and ground leveling and such around the 12+ acres of hay field. The fields have been somewhat neglected, so there are saplings around the edges and some in the fields. We've cleared a perimeter path around the field edges for walking. I want to be able to mow the hay fields if the farmer who comes and hays doesn't come (drought this year means not a lot of useful hay), and be able to fertilize. In general I'm trying to revitalize the fields. I'm not intending to hay the fields myself (not sure any equipment is small enough for the LX to do that anyway).
The B2601 appears to be big enough, but the LX2610 has a bit more capability. Any thoughts on comparison aside from the dollars?
