Enough for me and in my budget, liked the B2601 but was a little too big for what I need...5hp difference?

Nope. This is probably last one I'll buy, big enough for what I use it for..

Good choice! Enjoy your new ride!
I have a friend with an 1870. I occasionally borrow it to do work between buildings where my L and MX tractors won't fit.
These small guys have their place, even on farms and large estates.

I wanted something like the 1870 to get around in the yard. My 7610 is a little large.

You're gonna like the SSQA feature. Lots of useful attachments you can now spend money on!

Congrats, Had a BX23TLB and loved it, went to a B3200TLB and loved that. Now I have a L3540 which I do love but sometimes it's a bit heavy ( Like this whole year) to drive on lawn with my finish mower. Keeping my non DEF Grand L forever, no Regen here!Out with the oldView attachment 727100 in with the newView attachment 727101. I traded in the BX1870, 499.1 hrs for a BX2380, 1.3 hrs.

Congrats, the 2380 is a little beast for the size tractor.

The placement of the loader joystick-right next to armrest, rest arm on the rest and control loader rather than reaching to the front like on the 1870, the ssqa loader bucket, which makes for lots more options for front end items. The design of dismounting loader, everything can be done from the seat basically, and the loader hydraulic disconnect seems pretty slick, they all disconnect as a bank of 4, not individually like on the 70 series.

I've got a couple spots that could really use one of those puppies!
