What length and type of material you cutting?

I was thinking of a 60" behind it to cover tracks

I mainly cut thick grass approximately 12 to 24 inches high.

I took delivery of a factory cab 2650 in Dec 2013 and it is used for residential snow removal and is equipped with the front mount 63" blower. It had no difficulty handling the 18 driveways I looked after last winter. I chose the 2650 over the 3350 due to the price differential vs modest performance difference. The tractor had no difficulty driving the snowblower even under heavy wet snow conditions. The heated comfortable cab made operation even in unpleasant cold and blowing snow conditions comfy.

If I didn't like the smell of that additional $7k stuffed in my mattress, I may have sprung for the 3350.

What tires do you have on your tractor?

R4 industrial....good forward/reverse traction in snow ...but...they tend to slide sideways more than the turfs I had on my previous B1700.

I have a B3030 with R4 industrial but have wondered if I was buying again if I would try turfs. For over all performance which do you prefer?

As to driving off with the brake on, yup, did that a couple of times. I installed a bright LED light on the panel and wired in parallel with the existing brake idiot light at the brake switch.

I also have a B2650 cab model. You mentioned storing it in your garage. If you have a standard size garage door, the 2650 will not fit under the opening. I keep mine in my barn with a 9'x9' garage door. I don't know how they compare power consumption wise, but I have a 72" MMM under mine, and it works just fine, with no issues.

I traded up from a B2910 with just under 1900 hours, that was listed at 30 HP. I can't tell the difference in power between the two, even with the A/C on. Except for a few design issues, I really like the 2650. But I would like to kick the designer square in the butt that thought that the 4WD lever should be down by the floor, and the loader hydraulic hoses should connect under and behind the frame of the loader.

I also considered the 3350, but after reading about all the issues with DPF, it was a no brainer to go with the 2650.
