Buying Advice CX2510CH??

lcisled · Jan 27, 2021

Anyone gotten any pricing for a CX2510CH? I called a dealer inquiring and he said it wasn稚 in his price book yet and he would have to talk to his rep.

I understand tractors are getting hard to get. I am making a plan for next winter so I have time to wait.

I am interested in a 54 front mount blower too. Anyone have any pricing on one of those?

If there are any dealers want to shoot me a DM with a quote I would be interested.

I only heard about this due to a video on youtube with tractor time with tim, its not even announced on their site. Very wierd, but also very interested. Its the right size for me versus the LX2610 which is a little bigger than I need so interested in seeing the cost as well

I saw this on TTWT, very interesting as I've been toying with the idea of trading out of my CK2160 with ROPS to a smaller cab tractor with front blower. It's interesting that they tapped Tim to debut this model and not one of the YouTubers who have Kiotis now.

Agreed, but also concerning, not once did Tim go wow i Didnt realize Kioti was so good, or call out anything that separated it from JD etc.

still wish they had gone with a 3 range, would have really sold me on the CX over Kubota for sure.

Hmm. I liked the cx2510ch.
Assuming it is priced more aggressively than the competition, it will be a successful machine.

I’m just not too excited about the 25hp larger frame machines in general...no matter which brand. I think they are underpowered.

To my knowledge, there are only 2 brands with 25hp HVAC cabs. Kioti and Kubota. This is definitely a differentiator. ...and I thought I was pretty excited about that in the video.

Thanks to you all for watching!

Thanks for the clarity Tim, can you explain a little more around why 25HP isnt large enough for a compact? outside of PTO which definitely needs to be a thought for folks, I have a massey GC1710 and its a beast, but its just not big enough for my needs, power wise, its more than i would ever need, but i want more weight, clearance, and stronger hydraulics, and these type of 1 step above sub compact tractors fit the bill nicely. and a factory cab is just another nice checkmark

let me know if I am missing something on why the engine HP wouldnt be enough, unless your referring to PTO in general, I have had my massey for 5 years, but I am still a tractor noob so i may be overlooking something.

The biggest selling points on the CX2510 line are the higher hydraulic flow, increased weight, no T4 regen and a bigger 1.6l 34hp motor tuned down to 25hp. The latter of which is very intriguing to me not only for stock longevity but the potential to increase the fuel and bump the HP as needed for higher HP PTO needs in the future. The biggest down side is availability but that seems to be across all the tractor lines ATM. It certainly would be a bummer to get a tractor that you can't readily get replacement parts for 8-10 years down the line.

Ok, good question.

You already mentioned the answers! You want more weight and more hydraulic capacity. That additional weight is harder to move around...takes more HP.
The additional hydraulic capacity doesn’t come for free either. More pump flow requires more hp.

The cx2510ch does a pretty good job of balancing this, but I suspect you will notice it struggling in some situations. Overall, you may find it a perfect compromise for your situation.

I paid $16750 w/FEL before tax/after rebate for one if these. Never bought a tractor before so clueless on whether it was a good deal or not?? I went to look on a Tuesday, they had three on the lot. All had sold by Thursday when I signed. I started out wanting a kubota like everyone else. I looked at Yanmar, TYM, LS, bota, Mahindra and Branson. Once I sat on the CX it had me. Seat, op control layout, two pedals instead of rocker on hst, less money. Will be delivered as soon as 3rd function is installed. Can't Wait!!
