The B2650 - am I just underrating this thing?

[wrooster]

Well I only have a B2620 and today I moved 132 yards of pit run for the second time that I brought home with the dump truck.

i think you mean 13.2 cubic yards.

132 cubic yards is about 10 tandem dump truck loads.

No I mean 132. I hauled it home myself, 33 yards at a time. Yesterday and today I made a pad for a 24x24 garage, a small parking area for my implements in the bush out of the sun, and stockpiled the rest of the gravel on my bushroad for patching when needed.

Not bad for a little B eh.

Some pics. No need to post pics of what all I did with it, but you can see the material gone. I just left a pile on the pad to level it. But I'll do it in lifts to pack it.

Did I mention I moved the same amount of material from that spot last weekend too? Did a bunch more work on my bush road with the last batch.

230 trouble free hours on her so far.

The other nice thing about the small tractor...I only used a half a tank of fuel to do that pile. I just run it at 2000 RPM.

Used the loader and my 60" Land Pride box blade.

Up here in Canada we dont drive around half full like south of the border. 140,000 pounds/63,500 kg is the legal limit.

Hey s219, I'm 72 and my 3350 is my right and left hand!

I run a LandPride rotary cutter with my B2620. Traded in the belly mower deck: it worked great, but I wanted more versatility. The tractor is a real work horse! (I also have the tiller, rear blade, FEL and backhoe)

132 and counting. Brought more home today. Got my kid out there moving some this time.
I went and put the deck back on the other day too thinking I wasn't going to bring any more home. Luckily it has enough ground clearance for this.

I've got a couple dump loads of driveway gravel to spread in the next month or so, but I need to clear out and prep the area first. Let's hope it cools off some, I'm not going out there in 94 degree heat and 95% humidity!

I hear you! Been getting the same weather here. It's killing me, I'm used to snow. So I've been doing it at night. When it's all moved my little B will have moved 10 33 yard loads of pit run.
