Great video just got the 2024 B2301 22hp diesel loader and 48inch bush hog .. 23k$ with my military discount and trade in .. put loader hooks on bucks and quick hitch
I couldn't agree more. I love my 2601. Got it 5 years ago. Has about 550 hours on it right now. Bought it with: Backhoe/front loader/54" belly mower package. Since then........ Bought a 60" rotary brush cutter from J-Bar. A County Line 60" box blade. And a Titan 4" max capacity PTO wood Chipper. Best damn decisions I ever made.
Hey team. Love the 2601. I am 150 hours in and use this every weekend at our home. I also enjoy helping my neighbors with the odd post hole or grappler move. All around great investment. I do mow a hillside and work in hilly environments. Just be smart and follow the OEM guidance. These things will roll and there are many great videos out there on best practices.
Actuallly; a smaller bx 2350 will suffice for small homestead owners. Absolute wonder of a machine, small, powerfull and reliable. Very, very well thought out design and toptier quality. Manufacterer is still in the game, parts are being made and there are a whole slew of different implements available. I'm a fan
Great little tractor! I put 500 hard hours on mine before trading in for a bigger machine. Make sure to fully engage the locking diff, it can shear the teeth if it's not locked in. Check the loader bolts too, mine worked loose around 150 hours.
Consider wheel spacers and loading the rear tires to combat any tippiness. I installed 2" spacers and with the extra 150# in each loaded tire, my B2601 feels rock solid.
i agree. I bought a new one with loader and backhoe for around $27K. I added a thumb for the bucket so I can pick up logs or rocks and a set of forks for the front bucket. That has limited weight lifting ability but it is okay for my needs. I put some extra lights on it and had to replace the little dynamo with a 47 amp alternator.
Would you buy that mid mount mower again over a cheaper generic 3 point finish mower? I have the same size Kioti machine (CX2510) and just cannot justify the cost of the mid mower!
I would go with what works with your budget first! If I used the mid mount all the time I would like it but if it was just occasional use I would go with the 3 point mower for cost and because it would be easier to take on and off.
By my read the biggest benefit of the mid-mount is maneuverability. But my machine doesn't feel that maneuverable-nothing like a zero turn or even a cheap rider. That just leaves cut width and you can get that width for less with a 3-point. In the end I've about decided that I will probably never mow with my machine and am (back) in the market for a good fast mower, either a zero turn or a stand-on.
Pallet forks are a game changer with the B2601 - Mine stay on my tractor!

Good over view my friend!
Get a bolt on wear edge/cutting edge for the bucket. Better to buy a new edge than a new bucket.
I used a half ton truck to pull my 3301..
Did you compare it to the Yanmar SA424? It can lift more.
I did I really liked the yanmar but I ultimately went with the Kubota because I have a great dealer close to home
@@blakeechols3829 And the resale value is higher with a Kubota.

I agree. I think the biggest benefit to a mid mount is maneuverability. but a dedicated mower is going to be way easier for mowing.
Wait what 23k?!!! I just priced one out with a scraper, mower and bucket. 28k
