Downsizing to a 25hp B series?

[Tomtint]

I don稚 have any useful advice on which tractor is best for you, but....the snow issue.. maybe I do. We live down a long , very narrow dirt road. Plowing snow takes considerable planning. I知 move snow assuming it痴 going to be there for a while and more is coming soon. I make piles in areas where if we got 2 overnight.. I can still push snow aside so we can at least get out if need be.

Sounds to me like the 2650 is the way to go. Does your driveway layout leave you room to be able to throw snow out of the way in your tight spots? I don't think a blower sized for that tractor will throw snow very high, or very far. I like the idea of the angled blade. Maybe you could use the front angled blade to pull the snow out of the sides into the middle, and then throw it off with the blower.

I agree completely on the cab. Wouldn't even consider an open station for winter snow removal. Does the cabbed 2650 come with A/C (for summer) as well as heat? I love mowing my pasture in summer with the A/C going in the cab.

What other implements would you use/need if you went down to the smaller subcompact B?

Yes the 2650 is only tractor in that class to come factory with heat and AC both. If you get a cabbed blower you my as well should get the front mounted blower. With a rear cab its going to be a paint to change the chute, and you would spend as much money on rear remote to do it as your front blower.

I just about a 2650 for 5 acres mainly grass, blowing snow around and general yard work. Its probably more than I would ever need. 2650 is probably a great tractor for mid level work and less.
