B2650 on the way

tk tom · May 28, 2014

Pulled the trigger on a new B2650. It's coming with the 60" light material bucket, two-lever skid steer attachment setup, and pallet forks. I'll have the heavier duty 54" bucket on the way soon. I really hope in the next year or so to add a 3pt wood splitter and possibly a belly mower.

I haven't been able to find a whole lot of information on these units yet, and hope to be able to contribute what I can to the forum. If anyone has any pics or vids of these machines in action, feel free to add them, I'd surely appreciate it. I'll post pics when I take delivery of the tractor soon.

Congrats on your tractor, I really like those B2650s. Make sure to post pictures once you receive it!

Congrats on the new tractor tk tom. Did you buy it in Gorham? I live fairly close to Eds Grove.

You are really going to like it. That line up is feature loaded for a B series.

How long should I be waiting for this thing to be set up and ready? All I wanted was the tires loaded and the QA pallet fork setup. They all come with the QA loader already. I confirmed the order on Wednesday of this week and they're saying Wednesday of next week before it's ready. That seems odd to me. Dad's tractor was ready next day when he bought his, but that was 9 years ago. They are having an open house this weekend with food and balloons and all that fun stuff, I'm just curious if I'm being put off so they can prep for that mess. I understand this time of year is very busy for spring service and the tractor needs to be setup and tested by a tech, just didn't realize it would take a whole week. Buy a new truck same day, etc.

Yes I went there. We've had great experience there in the past.

I'm close to the West Buxton Bridge. I've been by Ed's Grove plenty, folks live in Dayton. Small world I guess.

It's not necessarily the time it takes to set your tractor up, but the time it takes to set up the tractors of customers who are in the queue before you. This time of year should be very busy for most dealers. Trust me, I know how hard it is to wait for a new toy, er tool, though!

I sure hope so. A friend of the family has a 2620 and he loves it. I hope the larger size of the 50 series doesn't take away from the HP. I wasn't sure if I should have gone with more HP for the chassis, just didn't want the DPF and turbo, too complicated for a small tractor IMO.

It's not like I have real pressing issues that need tractoring, I just just surprised when I called today and he said next Wednesday. I didn't even ask when I gave him the go ahead to get it ready as I wasn't in dire need for it and just assumed it might be a day or two. No big deal, thanks for your input, it definitely helps calm the nerves LOL.

Hey TK welcome to TBN. You'll love that tractor. I have it's poor cousin, the 2620, and it does whatever I want it to do from moving dirt, snow, and digging stumps. The 26 horse is a bullet-proof motor.

I have bought many tractors from Wescotts and have yet to be disappointed in the service, sales, prep work, etc. The guys that set up the tractors are top notch! Don't be afraid to have the delivery guy go over everything with you. He'll spend whatever it takes to make sure you know how to operate your tractor.
