First and last tractor B2620

[3diesel]

Ever since I was a kid plowing the 400' driveway with my dads B7100 hst I wanted one. He's had his for 28 years and since he's not giving it up, I had to buy my own.

Yesterday I pulled the trigger on a B2620, FEL, Woods GT52 tiller.
I don't have as much land as my dad (about 1 1/2 acres vs 3). For that reason I was looking at a BX first. After looking them over and trying them out, almost 30 years later, I think the B is still the way to go. About 2k more over a Bx2660 but the difference is well worth it.
More rugged construction
bigger better traction tires.
Much more lift capacity, bucket and 3pt.
Full Category 1 (much more variety for attachments)
50 inch bucket. (fit 4ft items)
Bigger lower rpm engine
3 speed HST
Two speed pto
etc etc.
Don't get me wrong, the Bx is a nice tractor but I'm only buying one. For me, If I bought a Bx I think I would regret not getting the B.

Oh and the best advance in the last 30 years..... Power steering!!

Should be about 1 week before its ready (have to wait for the tiller to come in) I can't wait. :licking:

thats beautiful man. Thats a great tractor package you put together. We have definitly seen more power out of the B sereis, you wont regret that decision. Post some pics when it comes in.

Congrats, I know you'll enjoy it for years to come. I just recently purchased a B2320 and went through the same scenario as yourself, only I started with a used riding mower.

congratulations - nice tractor. I've got the same one and 11 acres and it does everything I want it to do. Plows snow, brings firewood out of the woods, moves rock, gravel , dirt - so you should be all set for a long time.

Congrats to the nice machine. That is a really good story about your dad's tractor and your childhood.

Congratulations on your purchase. i bought my first and last tractor 6 years ago. It was a BX2200, FEL, MMM yep my first and last for a life time tractor instead of a disposable big box store mower. Well............that was number one of 10 Kubotas I've bought but I was certian it was my first and last, no question about it, non debateable. First and last.Any way again, congratulations on your first and last tractor.:thumbsup:

Thanks everyone! I hope this is the first and last tractor anyway.
If I chose correctly (and I think I have) It will be the last one I need and will last just as long as the B7100 has lasted my dad.

Congrats and good choice ! I really like the B's as well - at least at this point in my life it is the perfect fit. :thumbsup:
