I got a bunch of ballpark type prices, but there were so many figures flying around, I can't honestly give you anything accurate. The 2810 gear is, I believe a bit less expensive than the 2615, but I believe the 2310 Hydro and the 2810 hydro are both more than the 2615. They are all quite a bit less than the Deere and Kubota prices I have seen, which is why I was there in the first place. The 15's will not have backhoes for a while, so the whole package I'm looking for isn't available for a price right now. Ballparking, though, the Deeres (4210, 4310 gear drives) with mower, backhoe and loader were running like $29K, and these were in the $22-23K range, I think, equipped similarly. The tiny Kubota 22 Hp job was about $18.5 K fully equipped. These are all from memory, and at my age, that means not altogether too reliable.. ;-)
I didn't ask about the 2015, but I might be considering that alternative before it's done. I know appearances can be deceiving, but the 2015 is a much larger, heavier and more substantial looking machine than the Kubota subcompact, though the Kubota is rated a couple hp more. Still would like the extra foot of cutting swath from the larger machines, either the 2615 or the 2810.
