Have a B2620 and it has been a great tractor. Over the past couple of years, I have been putting more food plots in-now up to 3 acres. The 2620 has got the job done, but it struggles with a 60" tiller. I expected the tiller would be a bit much for the tractor, but I know at some point I would be buying a larger tractor., so I bought it instead of a 48" model.I also use the 2620 with a beat up 60" finish mower-I'll need to replace it at some point but have been holding off, because I could use a 72" RFM, and again, I know I will be buying a larger tractor sometime.
My question is, would a L2501 be worth it-would it be enough to run the tiller and a 6' RFM substantially better than my 2620. I know the paper specs say the the L has about 20 PTO hp, compared to the 19 my B has, but I read many threads here saying the 2501 has much more power then you would think. I know the tractor/FEL/loaded tires would give me about 1200pbs more weight than the 2620-not a problem for me, because the finish mower is used on a very rough 3 acres-not worried about a few ruts-it is full of them now.
I like the cost of a 2501 and the lack of a DEF, but I want to make sure it is enough. The other alternative is my mind is stepping up to a 3901-but I would rather save the money if the 2501 will work for me. The 3301 isn't much of an option, because I would go all the way to a 3901 if the 2501 isn't enough.
What are your experiences?
Thanks,
Willo
