Price Check Used Pricing for a B2710

( Looks mighty cold up there. Hey, by thte way, where did you get your chains? I am looking for a place to buy a pair. )

I got them from TireChains.com . I got the 2 link ladder chains for my R4's and I had to remove one cross section. Make sure you get the heavy duty spring tensioners.

How do you like your new B2710?
)

I love it. I had a lot of experience using and renting TLBs for construction applications, but no experience using a tractor for homeowner type applications. Reading TBN for about a year really helped me figure out what I wanted. 90% of what I do is move wood chips and manure, so I didn't need a large lift capacity. I do drive on the lawn and pasture with it a lot so it was important to me to not damage the grass. I read everyone fills their tires but I didn't fill mine and haven't encountered a traction problem. Can always add it later. I rented an L35 when I put an addition on my house. I still have to put up an outbuilding and will rent that again to dig the foundation. A B21 is a little too small to dig foundations in my opinion. The 2710 should be fine for backfilling and grading stone for the concrete. I will probably pick up a used rear finish mower at some point to mow the pasture. I would encourage you to spend a lot of time trying a few models first to make sure it's what you want. Too much money to make a mistake.

( Mark, that's the same price I paid in '99 for a new B2710 with the LA401 loader. It was a great little tractor, and I'd still have it if I hadn't had to move back to town. )

Bird,
That's amazing. I would have expected prices to go up considerably in that time period. I think the fact that the 2710 is discontinued and I went during a snowstorm in January helped with the price. Dealer's great, been in business since dirt was invented.

Mark,

Thanks for the info. When I get the tractor I will try to post a few pictures. I plan to use it to mow, till, clear snow and do a little grading. My driveway is quite long and I could have used that bucket a few times this winter.
