The B2650 count down has begun!

[Dan33Klein]

Thanks
I will give him a call. That tire size difference is awesome. Are you worried about the gear ratio changing at all?
I know our 26hp tractors will still have more than enough power. And the 3 hydro ranges help.

 

[Rock Crawler]

I've talked to 2 others that have done this and both love it and notice no power/gearing limitation from the 7.5% increase in tire diameter.

Do, I'm going for it and I truly feel that it will be a total beast!

 

[Dan33Klein]

Awesome. Waiting on Sean to call back. Maybe I can get mine ordered Monday

 

[Rock Crawler]

Sweet! I'm heading back up there, there was a safety switch issue this morning, so I left the trailer there and they are addressing it. So I'm heading back now before the ice storm hits at 4 pm.

Sounds exiting.

Do you mind me asking what % the dealer took off of the msrp prices that were listed on the invoice you posted?

I do not know the actual percentage, but the price before tax was $28,050. I believe if you go to build my Kubota and put this together it's around 31.

It's officially mine, I am on the way home right now! The mighty b2650 Crazy Larry Edition!

Just in time for the winter storm up here. Stay safe and have fun!

I unloaded it and shoved it into it's garage. Sadly, I'll likely not really use it for a few months because of the mud and muck.

I'll try to move it up into the main garage where I can weld on hooks and D-Rings, wire in an LED 360 degree light set and poke around it a bit.

I feel for you. I got my tractor end of December and have only gotten to use the backhoe a couple times to basically test it. The ground is so soft now it will be difficult to get the snow off the driveway tomorrow without doing much damage around the house getting it to the driveway. I have a bunch of drain lines I need to dig but until the ground freezes again or it dries up that won’t be happening.

Just a point to mention, put diesel treatment in the tank and run it through if you want to use it next week when it gets cold again. My dealer’s fuel gelled up on me and it was a real pain to resolve it at 10F outside. I always keep treatment in my fuel but assumed the dealer had treated theirs.

 

[Rock Crawler]

Same here, I treat my gas and diesel in the bed of the truck before it goes into the shop. That way every fueled item is treated, from weed eater to the monster truck edition Kubota

 

[BAP]

Nice tractor and truck. You should really enjoy all you can do with the tractor.

Congratulations Rock Crawler! There's nothing quite like a shiny new tractor!

Very nice Larry.

When the weather breaks, you'll have to come check it out! It's really sweet! Way way different from that BX. Huge!

Thanks. Now I need to start trying to find a way to get a deal on an 8'x16' Lamar dump trailer.

Like to see it--What about the whole grass cutting thing?

 

[Dan33Klein]

Congrats!!! I never heard back from Sean, going to give him another call tomorrow.

I just sold my BX package about 3 hours ago so I am going to be making a deal Monday on the b2650 for sure!!

Do you mind measuring the distance of your back wheels with the larger tires and spacers?

Thanks!!!

 

[Rock Crawler]

You sold your BX TLB about 24 hours after us. We were going to trade in, but a buyer appeared and in Thursday evening at around 4:30 he pulled out with my BX on a Way to small and rickety little tractor to head 2 hours north above Oil City. I hope he made it!

I was sad and honestly nervous to see that little BX go. While it's weakness frustrated the heck out of me, it was small and could be wiggled and wedged into places that the big B is just not going to allow. ****, the big B just barely fits in my 22' deep garage that has a stack of kayaks across the back. The big B with the BH is very similar in lengths with my father's 99 F-350 crew cab/long bed monstrosity.

That's going to effect some of the things I was able to get done with that baby B. The trade off (I hope!) Is that the machine will dig much better and I'll feel much less frustration while trying to tear the earth apart with this compared to the BX. That's what I paid an additional $17,000 for yesterday... The ability to dig without feeling like I want to kill this **** frustrating thing!

 

[Dan33Klein]

I hope the B treats you well. And I知 sure it will. We have pretty similar stories.

When I decided I wanted the B I went to my dealer and got a quote on the new one with trading mine in. He was offering me what I thought was a more than fair price. Along with a 14% discount on the new one. But since he didn稚 have the B in stock and I was not in a hurry I figured i may as well try to sell it outright for more money. And she left last night for 2k more and 1k for a tiller that I didn稚 plan to sell, but it will be to small for the 2650.

So it ended up working out great.
Just need to work out the tire situation with my dealer and get final numbers together.

Did you get the front grille guard??

I can稚 stop looking at all your pictures!!!
