2009 BX 2660

[jack wesley]

Hi, first post, looking at a new 2009 Kubota BX2660. Dealer is offering a 9 % discount from List, does that sound like a good deal?

Also, I have decided to use power to scrape and level a private horse ring 175' x 75'. What attachment would you prefer?

Good for you! Hope it works out for you.

Yeah, the 2660 is pretty popular, so I think that 9% off is a very fair deal, especially if you like the dealer's support and convenience.

Most of the guys here will tell you that you will likely need a box blade and a landscape rake. Good luck on your purchase.

Get their bottom line then contact Barlows for their price. If they're close, buy local and this will also let you feel better about your price. I agree on the boxblade and probably the landscape rake or Ratchet Rake. The RR will require a FEL and does a little finer finish than the Landscape rake but the Landscape rake will do the job and probably faster than the RR since it hooks on the back and you just take off at full speed. Just slow down in turns.

thanks, the dealer is trying to talk me into a RTV500 which he says could do the job but I think it is underpowered 15 HP motor. jack

Get both BX and rtv . Also don't under estimate the power of a diesel compared to the gas engines of same HP.

 

[jack wesley]

maybe both after I win the lottery, ha. The RTV 500 is a gas 15 HP. I have a walk behind DR hand mower with a bigger engine.

For finish leveling, I find it's hard to beat dragging an 8' I-beam behind the tractor. However, the soil will need to be somewhat loose first. I hang mine from the 3PH lower arms for easier transport and the ability to use it in corners.

Just an FYI, Barlow's has a used one with 79 hours w/ FEL and 60" deck for $12K, plus they ship.

Hi Jack,
What part of the country are you located? I think the tractor will suit you fine. Brady, at Barlow's, is a great guy to deal with. There are other good dealers. Just need to know where your lcated.
