First Tractor B2301

[kubotaboyd]

Hello everyone, I am getting my first tractor delivered tomorrow! It was a laborious process on trying to decide between the BX25D and the B2301/B2601. I am sure I would have used a backhoe on occasion, but just couldn't convince myself that I would need one on a regular basis. So I took the extra money in the budget and went up one size to the B2301 with a 54" QA FEL, 54" MMM, and a Land Pride P-15 post hole digger. I have a new house on 5 gently sloping acres. I probably would have gone with a rotary cutter except for the fact that I have no place to store it yet. Lots of projects on the calendar this spring, i can hardly wait!

Congrats. I lived in the Black Forest area just south of you for 14 years. Had a Kubota 24HP B-Series on my 5 acres. Worth every single penny every single year I had it. Enjoy.

I think you made the right move opting for the bigger tractor. If you ever have any serious excavating to do, you can always rent a machine to do it. With 5 acres, you better get busy and build something to store your toys in. And my advice is make it bigger than you think you will ever need, cause you will fill it. Good luck with the new machine.

Nice tractor. I checked out the B2301 vs. the JD2025R, and the B2301 won out. However, the tiny dealership Kubota has in Ch'ville doesn't handle the B series, only BX, and I'd been pleased with the very close, local JD dealership. I traded in my lemony JD1025R on the 2025R. The sales person moved the 1025's toolbox to the 2025. I saw where it had even the bolt holes for it and all but doesn't normally come with it (interferes slightly with the top link catch; can only hook the top link on it and not rest it in it).

So far, the 2025R is the best of the 3 4wd tractors I've had so far.

Hi Kubotaboyd,
Congratulations on the new addition!

I have its predecessor (B2320), bought used in August of last year, and it's been a great machine, lots of capability but I needed the 4' bucket and boxblade to get into tight places on the property.

You'll enjoy yours, mine's been a joy to operate.

Cheers!
