new 2710

[BaldGuy]

well, i've done it. ... bought a b2710 today.

i guess i took the same path a few others have. started out looking at a $12,000 B7500-gear drive but figured if your gonna spend this much you might as well get HST. then i thought the 7500 may be a little small for my needs. the 2410 had the extra power and position control but was only about 800$ less than the 2710 which seemed to be quite a bit more tractor but then there's the 2910,....etc.......

anyway, yesterday, i found a dealer that had a new 2710, FEL, and 72" MMM for about 500$ less than the best price i had found on 2710, FEL and 60" MMM. so, after reading a few posts about the 72" MMM and walking my 10 acres, i decided the 2710 with the 72" mower was the way to go.

thanks to those who responded to my earlier posts and all who have helped make TBN a great research tool..

Baldguy,Thats a great rig! I have the same thing and love it. What bucket did you get, the 54" or the 60" and what tires?

 

[BaldGuy]

it has the 54" bucket with tooth bar and hooks and turf tires. i'm a little concerned about the tires. in the long run i think the turfs will be fine, most of the use will be mowing and pushing snow (not a lot, central indiana) but initially i have some dirt work, landscaping and cutting in a driveway and i'm not sure the turfs will handle this? the dealer said he'd swap the turfs for R4's but didn't seem real enthusiastic. what you guys think?

Congrats on the new rig, maybe you'll get some snow to play in soon. I use turf tires(loaded) in the dirt with good results. Play(work/w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif) with them a while and let us know what you think.

BALD GUY: i did the same, stared looking at 7500 then decided to go to 2400 or 2710, would have bought either one, but found a great 2400 . so i bought that. i love my 2400 so am sure u will love your 2710, by the way i have R4's and they work extremly well for me, and i do move a lot of snow.
