As always, thank you so much for the detailed comparison on the new series rollout. This was exceptionally helpful, as I noticed our quoted unit being delivered was the SU series LX2610. Thank you for helping me catch this in time and hopefully remedy that for the Open Station deluxe model, as well as the quick detach loader valve. All valuable information!
Dude. You guys are so good, I order my parts and filters from you rather than my local Ohio dealership that is only ten minutes away. Them, almost never having everything I need half a dozen times or so, has been a major turn off. I mean, seriously, I should be able to buy grease and O rings any time of the year...
Help. Upgrading from a Ford 8N. Debating between the LX2610 and the L2501. 5 Wooded acres. Finished property. Mostly going to be landscaping type things like dirt work, clearing down tree limbs, so I am thinking the LX. But I have about a mile of gravel I maintain so my local dealer says to go with the L2501 since I will be box blading. What do you recommend.
Good video! Nitpicking but loaders are made in KIE, Kubota Industrial Equipment in Jefferson, GA. All loaders, backhoes, L series, M series, and Skid Steers are made at KIE. KMA (Gainesville, GA) makes the zero turns, bc series, RTVs, and mower decks. Great video though!
Thanks for all the good info. I wish i had discovered this channel before I traded up. I had a 2018 bx2380 and moved to larger property. My dealer (who sold out this year) talked me into an L3901 vs an MX series tractor based on hp and saying i needed less weight. You are right, minimal hp can make a huge difference with weight! I wish i was further north. I would come swap it out and talk to you guys. For anyone watching, L 3901 is a fine tractor by all means. Choose your next tractor based on weight application then hp required for pto equipment.
Not all of their locations are like the videos and the way Neil talks. I walked out of my local Messicks last week because of the way I was treated. And I was in the store talking about spending around $25k
I went with a L series for my automotive needs! Moving engines and transmissions around my property from storage areas to the garage and my truck for delivery or pick up! Needed the higher load capacity and size tractor!
Another great video, Neil. it looks like you need to install the roofing attachment on one of those tractors and take care of those shingles that are falling apart @ 8:00
Thank you Neil, in the process of purchasing the 2610 cab(thanks to your helpful advice) if you have a cab version in stock would love to see a video on that. When are you opening a dealership in Texas?
too hot in Texas. I try not to do a video that I don't have interesting content for 5-7 minutes. If I did the cab it would be like... here it is, a cab, it has glass, and mirrors, and keeps you cool. Not enough meat if its not wrapped in with other stuff. I did shoot some other LX videos with the cab variant, they are being edited now.
@Copter Cop Its called stretching your dollar. If it dont leak, whats the problem? I'm not buying the building I'm buying a tractor. He could build a state of the art facility but guess who will pay for it? The consumers.
Thank you for making this video very well explained and to the point. Ive been looking at tractors in this size and I plan to buy a LX2610SU I was looking at the b series but it is too small for what I want. I ran kubota tractors before and I like them. My main reasons for wanting the lx2610 is to run a mower and loader work and power a generator and have a garden I live in a rural area also I one day plan to own over 7 acres to 15 acres I dont want to deal with Deere because of the fact that the tractors arent very freindly to fix and our local Kubota dealer is a 15 minute drive from my house. I feel the Japanese make the best compact tractors in my opinion. Also Kubota has its own engine which makes it easier to get parts for.
I know you mention the different tire size for the SU model. Looking at the specs, does not show a different size for the SU. Just brought home a new LX2610SU this week so im just trying to verify this. Also, ground clearance is listed as the same. Upgraded from a BX1880. Very happy so far.
Thank you, Neil, for another outstanding video. I do have a question.... Are the loader specifications, ie , lift capacity the same as the standard L series? In other words, would the LX2610 use the 525 loader? Thanks!
there are different loaders between the L and the B. The specs on paper are very close, but the real word use the L will feel more capable. I plan on doing a video on this in the future.
I have a 2012 L3200 gear drive for food plots and trail mowing and it's the perfect size for that. I also have a 2019 B2301 hydro loader tractor for pretty much everything else. I find the gear drive better for field and trails and the hydro a better loader tractor. so I'm very happy with both and pretty much set for all the needs on my 80 acres of woods.
have a question bought a new 2610 cab just changed first oil change at 48 hrs was 2 quarts low is that normal have had 4 previous kubots and none used oil
Nice tractor but I'm not a fan of the digital LCD dash panels. It's fine to have a small LCD for hours or info but I wish tractors would stick with an analog tachometer, temperature and fuel gauge.
I've owned a LX2610 for 1-2 years now. I recently asked for a quote from a local dealer for the Swift Tach kit (B2386). I was told that they aren't recommending them until they are reengineered, and that Kubota has reengineered the B-series Swift Tach kits but hasn't gotten to doing it for the LX-series kit. I was told that there were some problems with all of them. Has Messick's had any problems with the Swift Tach kits for the LX-series (and/or the B-series) and can you comment on whether or not Kubota is planning to reengineer the LX-series kit due to problems? Great practical content presented in a to-the-point and entertaining way. Messick's is one of the essential channels for research and info on buying and owning tractors IMHO.
There was a pin that was changed in B2386 because of accidental disconnects, but that was about a year ago. I'm not aware of problems since, but we've not sold many of that kit.
Is that your Explorer in the background you have mentioned in other videos? Nice! I like the new LX, but I preferred the B-50 series nomenclature better.
Considering the LX3310 with a stump grinder attachment. How do you think that would handle it? I’ve heard the 25hp are a little underpowered for it, so I’m curious if the extra PTO hp will make a difference going from 19.5 to 27. Great video!
Bey Neil, I have a 2017 Kubota B2650 ROPS with a LA534 Loader... just turned 44.0 hrs! How does it compare in physical size to these new LX Models? Please advise and Thanks Much ';-)
Really like the flow and 'faster' speed at which you cover the details. Thanks! Am currently working with your sales staff - Don - on probable purchase and this presentation sure does add to my knowledge base. Again, thank you.
Was just getting ready to leave the house to go look at a 2610SU at my local dealer when this video popped up on my feed. After this video and seeing the tractor yesterday I decided to pull the trigger. As a PA native transplanted to GA, your videos are my go to for anything Kubota/tractor related. When i mentioned "Messick's" at my local dealer, he referred to you as the "King of Kubota", lol. My original purchase might not have been with you guys but all my "pieces & parts" will be. That said, what would be the right part number if i wanted to swap out the SU seat for the deluxe version?
NEIL HELP!!!! what would make you want to purchase a 3310 over a 2610 what applications would the turbo/ extra HP be beneficial enough to jump up 6k to 3310?
I don't mind the loader pins but do they make a single lever manifold kit that fits the B Series LA534? Will the new LA535 manifold fit the LA534? My B3350HSDC with Backhoe, Belly mower, and Loader came in just shy of $50K and I'm not about to trade it in for a manifold but that is the one thing I dread the most on this bad boy. They always are tangled and tight as can be in the sheath and I've mowed before with the loader on when I was in a hurry because I didn't want to deal with the connectors. I mean, I'd still need to manually remove the 3rd function couplings but they are much easier to get to.
@@MessicksEquip thanks! I was on kubota site and its hard to find that arm rest part number in lx2610 manual. Think I might want to do that when I get mine delivered.
Your parts website is really easy to use, thanks for all the great videos. 010ARM REST (LH)- ARMREST LH6C200-88760, 020ARM REST (RH)- ARMREST RH6C200-88770
Great Video, As always! I'd swear you're a Kubota rep which Messicks pays you exclusively to do these videos for them. Couldn't find a dealership here in Canada that can bang off that much product information, so quickly, ALL the time about the SO many different Kubota models and series. Your roof shingles must be Kubota brand, they have lasted forever!
That's quite the machine. I like the fact that some of the deluxe version goodies can be retro fitted to the su model. Can a mid mount pto be fitted to an su tractor?
I have a B2650 HSDC that I really like with only one notable complaint - the noise of the hyd pump resonates in the cab pretty badly. Did they do anything to address the cab volume in the LX series?
Well, you just made my mind up, Neil. I was himming and hawing between a B2601 and a L2501. I have 8 acres of wooded and hilly land that I harvest wood from. Now that I've seen this, I think the LX is the best option. Now to decide between the delux or the SU model :/
If its only a question of economy or deluxe then go deluxe. If it's only $1,000 difference between the 2 than over 60 month finance thats less than $17 a month difference in payment. When you are sitting in that deluxe seat for long periods your behind will thank you. And having armrests makes a huge difference when doing front end loader work. Having a mid-PTO at least gives you the option for belly mower, front snowblower or power broom in the future if your needs change and increases resale value if you ever need to sell/trade it in. I started with a BX and after it was paid off I turned it in and upgraded 2 sizes to the B2650. A B2601 would have been a better fit for my property but I didn't want to be working at max capability of the tractor cuz now you are working at edge of what considered safe for the tractor. Now I have a tractor that can do the work easy, safe and I have some room to grow if my needs increase. Which I plan on buying some property up North in the future so I am trying to plan ahead. Just some food for thought. Hope it helps.
we should really just plead with Kubota to simplify the model lineup: another thing that might help is a "tractor selector" where you input what activities you want to do and it narrows the choice for you and makes suggestions. i personally went through 5 different types of tractor before i finally got the MX4800 i currently own that for me is the perfect combination with weight (can be hauled with a normal class c license), size (big enough to do most everything very well without being too big to fit many places) and power (48 hp is ok for me, but not under-powered for what i do).
I don't think I will ever purchase or do some research there that dealership again execs purchase I will get it will be at a different Kubota dealership here in Missouri
Could someone explain the difference between the LX3310HSDC and the 3310HSD? The HSDC appears to be a little longer, lighter and shorter, but otherwise I can’t really see the difference.
What would I get with a LX2610 which I don't have with my B2650? I never remove the loader and I don't have or plan to get a mid-mount mower or a backhoe.
Just bought a 2020 b2650 (love it). This one looks exactly the same minus the letters on the hood lol, but does looks a little bigger. Even lights and hood look like a b2650. Looking forward to the comparison video!!
The LX3310 that’s what I’m looking at for a purchase. Is this tractor sufficient to do everything like mowing ,clearing, And landscaping minimally 10 acres possibly all the way up to 30 acres?
This may be a question you don't want to answer, at least until dealers run out of B3350's, but I'll ask anyway. I know you probably got one heck of a deal on the B3350 you purchased for yourself a few videos ago since I believe you implied they were being phased out, and I'm not sure how much foreknowledge you had about the new LX3310 tractors and their specs. If you were to buy a tractor today, would you buy the LX3310 or the undesirable (your words from your video, NOT mine) B3350, considering the aggressive pricing (again your words, not mine) of the B3350? I know, that sometimes people tend to stay away from new products until they are out there for a while and proven themselves. I love your videos. I wish my local dealer, had the kind of inventory your company has. They have been great with my old "yellow" garden tractor with a Kubota D600 engine.
Everything has a place. I'm confident the LX will do fine, its a proven system. I'd consider a B3350 only at the right price, and understanding what your buying.
@@MessicksEquip Thanks Neil. My tractor when it begins to pull harder will sort of surge ahead slightly. I asked my dealer about it and they said all B2650 and B3350 do this. It is in the design. I heard of other owners having the same issue. Mine is a B2650HSDC and is a great tractor. Thanks Bob
Is the LX series going to be "too much" for working around residences? It seems like the smallest unit available with an AC cab which I feel would help a lot in the south with high humidity and heat
@@MessicksEquip I want to maybe do some no for profit or other community supportive work helping build gardens, clear ground, move things with the loader etc. I can probably go smaller but I feel like AC is a must. To clarify is the LX the same size as the old B2610 with the cab and ac?
I'm so close now to deciding on a model. It looks like this set here. I'm having trouble in the UK finding my needs. Do you ship to UK? Ha I'm sure you've been asked before. Thanks for the video ether way.
So is the LX basically a b2650 for the 26hp version? Not really a big change in actual power or anything like that? Because i just bought my 2650 about a year and a half ago lol and I feel like these newer models will kill my tractors value
you can order w/o a skid loader QA and get a pin-on bucket. All the loaders come off the tractor. Would be a long list of reasons why I'd encourage otherwise.
I hope that I haven't been operating my brush hog on my L235 at too high rpm for years. I just engage it and run at full throttle. It's old and does a great job for me but I'd still like to have a new and 4WD model!
Japan, with assembly in the U.S. Other manufactures are built in Taiwan or something like that, and a lot of the parts are from different manufactures. For example John Deere's engines are Yanmar, parts are from all over and assembled in Georgia. Generally Kubota engineers and builds everything top to bottom, others outsource a lot of the parts.
The bad thing about the LX2610SU series is that if you want to upgrade the seat alone to the standard seat that comes on the lX2610 or lX3310 its $900 alone. It really doesn't make any sense that the difference in price between the LX2610 and LX2610SU is only $600 from what my dealer told me. You would think that just the mid mount pto not being on there would make a big difference in price but with that little amount in price difference it makes no sense to buy the SU.
@@MessicksEquip comparing them on build and price it shows $992 difference for just the tractor, loader , 54" bucket and R14's. I have been trying to buy one for a couple weeks now in Texas and the dealers only have 2610SU's and in my quote there is only a $600 difference, I really like both versions of the 2610 but I just cant figure out why the difference would be so minimal if the better seat alone sells for $900 if I wanted to upgrade just that on the SU. There's no doubt they are both great tractors and maybe that small of a difference would be good for some people but I personally cant justify it especially if you price what each of the features left off of it would cost if you had the dealer add them in at a later date. Just really doesn't seem like much of an economy tractor compared to the deluxe version.
@@MessicksEquip Haha I understand. I would like to hook a stump grinder to the pto and use the bucket to make small brush piles. I dont mind spending alot of time mowing but would not want to overwork tractor.
I'm not 100% sure. I don't have the kit here yet. At the very least, it will require to parts off the new loader to be carried over. Maybe I'll try it on my tractor.
The only question I have is the price for the LX the same as the B2650? That was something that no one had asked. I know you don't quote actual prices online but is it at least in the same ballpark?
As always, thank you so much for the detailed comparison on the new series rollout. This was exceptionally helpful, as I noticed our quoted unit being delivered was the SU series LX2610. Thank you for helping me catch this in time and hopefully remedy that for the Open Station deluxe model, as well as the quick detach loader valve. All valuable information!
Dude. You guys are so good, I order my parts and filters from you rather than my local Ohio dealership that is only ten minutes away. Them, almost never having everything I need half a dozen times or so, has been a major turn off. I mean, seriously, I should be able to buy grease and O rings any time of the year...
Glad to help
How does lift and torque on the lx33 compare to the b3350 and similar L series?
Is 1 kg difference with the la534 vs la535
You do a great job explaining all the Kubota minutia. I have owned an L2850, L3800, L5740 and now a brand new L47. I love these things..
I’m curious as a shopper, why would I or should I choose the LX2610SU over the L2501? I’m having a hard time choosing.

With being a smaller L series I would have liked to see at least one of them ( probably the LX3310) have an option for manual transmission.
So few wat manual on the small machines its not economical to design the transmission.
I purchased a b2650 in 9/19. You are correct about the loader valve. It was much better than the ck 2610. I would like more hydraulic pump volume.

Your parts website is really easy to use, thanks for all the great videos. 010ARM REST (LH)- ARMREST LH6C200-88760, 020ARM REST (RH)- ARMREST RH6C200-88770
Neal what RPM do you run on a B2601 to get 540 PTO speed? Done
What tractor size do you recommend for moving 4x4 round bale on the rear?
Would love to see an actual comparison if the LX3310 to the B3350, as well as the standard L-series just to see the size differences.
It's coming
Great Video, As always! I'd swear you're a Kubota rep which Messicks pays you exclusively to do these videos for them.
Couldn't find a dealership here in Canada that can bang off that much product information, so quickly, ALL the time about the SO many different Kubota models and series.
Your roof shingles must be Kubota brand, they have lasted forever!
Would this (LX3310) be a "straight across model" to the B3200? Thanks...
Yes
In the video you said if someone wants something heavier, to move up to 'L" serious...that's what you are sitting on? Did you mean to say "B" series?
At least Kubota makes welll thought equipment compared to the others.
That's quite the machine. I like the fact that some of the deluxe version goodies can be retro fitted to the su model. Can a mid mount pto be fitted to an su tractor?
most anything can be done, that the mid-pto would require splitting the tractor. Very expensive to pull off.
Wait are the smaller ones gas?
I have a B2650 HSDC that I really like with only one notable complaint - the noise of the hyd pump resonates in the cab pretty badly. Did they do anything to address the cab volume in the LX series?
No. That's pretty universal with HST tractors.
Thanks!
Very helpful thank you. Also great info about the B3350.
Well, you just made my mind up, Neil. I was himming and hawing between a B2601 and a L2501. I have 8 acres of wooded and hilly land that I harvest wood from. Now that I've seen this, I think the LX is the best option. Now to decide between the delux or the SU model :/
If its only a question of economy or deluxe then go deluxe. If it's only $1,000 difference between the 2 than over 60 month finance thats less than $17 a month difference in payment. When you are sitting in that deluxe seat for long periods your behind will thank you. And having armrests makes a huge difference when doing front end loader work. Having a mid-PTO at least gives you the option for belly mower, front snowblower or power broom in the future if your needs change and increases resale value if you ever need to sell/trade it in. I started with a BX and after it was paid off I turned it in and upgraded 2 sizes to the B2650. A B2601 would have been a better fit for my property but I didn't want to be working at max capability of the tractor cuz now you are working at edge of what considered safe for the tractor. Now I have a tractor that can do the work easy, safe and I have some room to grow if my needs increase. Which I plan on buying some property up North in the future so I am trying to plan ahead. Just some food for thought. Hope it helps.
we should really just plead with Kubota to simplify the model lineup: another thing that might help is a "tractor selector" where you input what activities you want to do and it narrows the choice for you and makes suggestions. i personally went through 5 different types of tractor before i finally got the MX4800 i currently own that for me is the perfect combination with weight (can be hauled with a normal class c license), size (big enough to do most everything very well without being too big to fit many places) and power (48 hp is ok for me, but not under-powered for what i do).
I don't think I will ever purchase or do some research there that dealership again execs purchase I will get it will be at a different Kubota dealership here in Missouri
ok been a year where is the updated video
Could someone explain the difference between the LX3310HSDC and the 3310HSD? The HSDC appears to be a little longer, lighter and shorter, but otherwise I can’t really see the difference.
The 'C' means cab.
You're the man. Well done mate
What would I get with a LX2610 which I don't have with my B2650? I never remove the loader and I don't have or plan to get a mid-mount mower or a backhoe.
LX vs B video coming shortly, but very very little.
Just bought a 2020 b2650 (love it). This one looks exactly the same minus the letters on the hood lol, but does looks a little bigger. Even lights and hood look like a b2650. Looking forward to the comparison video!!
The LX3310 that’s what I’m looking at for a purchase. Is this tractor sufficient to do everything like mowing ,clearing, And landscaping minimally 10 acres possibly all the way up to 30 acres?
I'd probably go a step bigger
@@MessicksEquip What is the next model up without losing the options on the lx3310?
@@TimeAfterTym I'd look at the new L3560 limited
This may be a question you don't want to answer, at least until dealers run out of B3350's, but I'll ask anyway.
I know you probably got one heck of a deal on the B3350 you purchased for yourself a few videos ago since I believe you implied they were being phased out, and I'm not sure how much foreknowledge you had about the new LX3310 tractors and their specs.
If you were to buy a tractor today, would you buy the LX3310 or the undesirable (your words from your video, NOT mine) B3350, considering the aggressive pricing (again your words, not mine) of the B3350?
I know, that sometimes people tend to stay away from new products until they are out there for a while and proven themselves.
I love your videos. I wish my local dealer, had the kind of inventory your company has. They have been great with my old "yellow" garden tractor with a Kubota D600 engine.
Everything has a place. I'm confident the LX will do fine, its a proven system. I'd consider a B3350 only at the right price, and understanding what your buying.
hey Neil can you put a detachable backhoe on a LX3310 or the LX2610
Yes
Neil: Did Kubota remove the transmission jerk that the B2650 series had with the new LX2610?
I've owned one of these for 2-3 years. Was never aware of a jerk?
@@MessicksEquip Thanks Neil. My tractor when it begins to pull harder will sort of surge ahead slightly. I asked my dealer about it and they said all B2650 and B3350 do this. It is in the design. I heard of other owners having the same issue. Mine is a B2650HSDC and is a great tractor.
Thanks
Bob
Is the LX series going to be "too much" for working around residences? It seems like the smallest unit available with an AC cab which I feel would help a lot in the south with high humidity and heat
its a large - small tractor. You can, if you have tight spaces you'll feel its size.
@@MessicksEquip I want to maybe do some no for profit or other community supportive work helping build gardens, clear ground, move things with the loader etc. I can probably go smaller but I feel like AC is a must. To clarify is the LX the same size as the old B2610 with the cab and ac?
@@MessicksEquip How different is the LX from the "big B" in terms of size/capability?
One more question why was the FEL down rated for the new tractors from the previous 534 FEL?
Not that I'm aware of?
Messick's
Yea it’s like ~80lb difference. Nothing concerning but just makes one curious.
@@benhead2231 not at work to check, but I'd guess they made the skid loader coupler standard so it's weight is accounted for.
Looks like it is about time for new shingles Neil ;)
Not a lot of profit to be made off selling equipment. Hard business to be in. You should always pay asking price for a tractor or implement.
We've been mentioningvthe aged shingles for at least a year.
The Jeremy McGrath of Kubota tractors. Y'all could be brothers.
I'm so close now to deciding on a model. It looks like this set here.
I'm having trouble in the UK finding my needs. Do you ship to UK?
Ha I'm sure you've been asked before.
Thanks for the video ether way.
Your EU models are different.
@@MessicksEquip yeah. I was concerned about the emissions side.
Might I ask of a comparable model over here. Only if you have time.
Messick's
You do outstanding videos. Awesome detail.
So is the LX basically a b2650 for the 26hp version? Not really a big change in actual power or anything like that? Because i just bought my 2650 about a year and a half ago lol and I feel like these newer models will kill my tractors value
It does hurt value a little bit, but not much. Demand for these is still sky high. I'd take 10x as many used ones as we get.
Is the LX3310 turbocharged or naturally aspirated?
Naturally aspirated
Great video, I enjoy all of your videos
Can you get a deluxe tractor without a quick attach loader?
you can order w/o a skid loader QA and get a pin-on bucket. All the loaders come off the tractor. Would be a long list of reasons why I'd encourage otherwise.
Messick's I do want the Quick attach for changing buckets but I don’t want a quick disconnect loader.
I hope that I haven't been operating my brush hog on my L235 at too high rpm for years. I just engage it and run at full throttle. It's old and does a great job for me but I'd still like to have a new and 4WD model!
A little overage won't hurt it.
Does the LX2610 have the stationary PTO feature or is it just the LX3310?
It does.
@@MessicksEquip thank you
This is one of your best videos, great information!
'
just wonder what country made this kubota tractor vehicle
Japan, with assembly in the U.S. Other manufactures are built in Taiwan or something like that, and a lot of the parts are from different manufactures. For example John Deere's engines are Yanmar, parts are from all over and assembled in Georgia. Generally Kubota engineers and builds everything top to bottom, others outsource a lot of the parts.
The bad thing about the LX2610SU series is that if you want to upgrade the seat alone to the standard seat that comes on the lX2610 or lX3310 its $900 alone. It really doesn't make any sense that the difference in price between the LX2610 and LX2610SU is only $600 from what my dealer told me. You would think that just the mid mount pto not being on there would make a big difference in price but with that little amount in price difference it makes no sense to buy the SU.
Check build and price, its more than 600
@@MessicksEquip comparing them on build and price it shows $992 difference for just the tractor, loader , 54" bucket and R14's. I have been trying to buy one for a couple weeks now in Texas and the dealers only have 2610SU's and in my quote there is only a $600 difference, I really like both versions of the 2610 but I just cant figure out why the difference would be so minimal if the better seat alone sells for $900 if I wanted to upgrade just that on the SU. There's no doubt they are both great tractors and maybe that small of a difference would be good for some people but I personally cant justify it especially if you price what each of the features left off of it would cost if you had the dealer add them in at a later date. Just really doesn't seem like much of an economy tractor compared to the deluxe version.
What size tractor do you need for 200 acres for brush hogging?
All depends how long your willing to mow
@@MessicksEquip Haha I understand. I would like to hook a stump grinder to the pto and use the bucket to make small brush piles. I dont mind spending alot of time mowing but would not want to overwork tractor.
@@csf.outdoors7933 our 50 hp uses a 6ft bush hog and it does take time but ya know
Can the single level manifold be added to a 2650?
I'm not 100% sure. I don't have the kit here yet. At the very least, it will require to parts off the new loader to be carried over. Maybe I'll try it on my tractor.
Are these replacing the B2650 and B3350?
Yes
I'd like to see a similar video of a loader on a tractor being jammed into a rock or dirt pile
Great video. What are the belly mower deck options for this. Are they ground contact or do they hang?
The only question I have is the price for the LX the same as the B2650? That was something that no one had asked. I know you don't quote actual prices online but is it at least in the same ballpark?
A few hundred more.
