New B2620 TLB Finally Arrive!

[ericdube]

After changing my mind quite a few times while trying to decide which tractor to purchase (BX25->B2320->B2620) and after some not too difficult "up selling" on the part of my wife, I was finally able to make up my mind and decided to purchase the B2620 TLB.

After about 2 weeks of waiting for some parts to come in, my new B2620 tractor finally setup and delivered this past weekend. I ended going with the LA346 FEL, BH65 Backhoe w/thumb, BX2750D 50" Front Mounted snow blower w/quick hitch, 40-amp high capacity alternator (I'm going with a Sims hardtop cab), and an engine block heater.

I haven't had a chance to use it yet, but as soon as some of the snow starts to melt I'm sure I'll be spending a lot of time in the seat this year.

Congratulations on your new tractor; nothing quite like it. What is even better is the more you use it, the better you will like it.

Actually, I bought it for a number of reasons. Primarily I needed something better for snow blowing after all the snow that we got this year. Even with the chains on the garden tractor I have now, it just wasn't cutting it going up the steep hill that we live on.

Honestly, I was just expecting way too much from it, and the result is that the snow blower is pretty beat up after just one season of use. It was fairly obvious to us that we needed something better equipped to get the job done. In addition, my wife is just too small to handle the manual (lift) controls of the snow blower that we have now, so the hydraulic/electric controls on the Kubota will allow her to use it when I'm on a trip (she had been struggling with our old walk behind snow blower every time it snowed.)

Also, we've been spending thousands (probably close to $30k to date - no joke on the amount) paying folks to work on yard, and no matter how much we spend it still never seems to get finished or worse, turn out the way we want. My wife and I decided to get the tractor (which is why she talked me into adding the backhoe) and to just take our time and do the work ourselves from now on.

We'll be starting with our side yard that needs to be cleared and leveled. Anything, the tractor is not capable of, we'll just rent what we need right from the dealer that we bought the Kubota from.

And will I have fun with it this year - no question about it!

LOL! I'm glad you noticed - I wasn't sure about posting it since I never see too many people in the pictures with their tractors. Thanks!

I don't have any pics with me on the tractor because my wife already thinks I am pretty weird for taking pics of a tractor to start with.

BTW Congrats on the new tractor, I am sure that it will do most of what you want, you may just need to be patient with it.

I'm in the same boat. I realized that with all the money I was spending paying others to work on my property, I could afford my own tractor, and save money...while having lots of fun at the same time!

Congratulations!!!!!!!! Nothing like the experience of a new shiny Orange Kubota tractor arriving on ones property as a new pernanent member of the family. Just don't call it a she.

In that second picture you look like a proud new papa!

Very nice.

Just don't call it "she". JohnThomas already reprimanded me for that when I got my new B3300. :laughing:

Tractors must be refered to by MANLY names!!
