Have had mine 2 years already. I figured 35 hours a year but using it a bit under that. Absolutely love it! It runs my Woodmax W8-H chipper and I use the forks constantly for moving materials. I did put some spacers on the rear wheels and fluid filled the rears for more stability. A really good tractor IMO.

Just finished my 4th summer using B2601 60"MMM I'm at 217 hrs. I figure I'm burning .61 US gallons per hr. for those that wonder about fuel. Less than 1/2 hrs are mowing. When I went to buy dealer didn't stock 54" deck for it. He said he has never sold a 54" for B2601 I would want the extra width for getting close to tree's etc. ... all that good stuff :)

If you're considering a B2601 make sure to get the 3rd function valve set up. It will save a lot of headaches later on if you acquire a grapple.

Great overview Jack! I had one for several years - it was awesome - what a workhorse - and so reliable every month of the year. I loved that tractor....but age started setting in and I needed a cab, so I have the LX2610 cab now. One point I offer respectfully - it will NOT start in our cold Canadian winters without a block heater. When it gets below -15/-20 etc it won't start unless you use the block heater first. And great points about it's narrow design, you need to fill the rear tires with RimGuard (good to -35 celsius) and carry ballast low on the back 3 point at all times. Great tractor and great value/features for the money compared to other brands in this class, in my humble opinion. Cheers- keep smiling!

Thanks Gord! Loved watching your videos with your B2601, the LX cab is definitely nice for these Canadian winters haha.

I find that hard to believe since my old f2000 starts in -30. If you hold the glow plugs long enuf it will start. This is my first winter with my 2301, if I'm wrong I'll man up, come back on here and admit it :)

@@neallyons9515 Hey Neal. You may be very right. My dealer told me not to hold the plugs longer than 7 seconds so all good either way. I have the block heater and just use it. But if it works great for you then all good. Have a very Merry Christmas and thanks for watching and offering your thoughts. And hey, no need to admit anything - I just hope you have a safe and good holiday. Cheers!

Well done video, wish the BX had the rear depth adjustments. I do love my BX.

I want this mainly for mowing 2 acres and wondering how well the mowing deck makes the lawn look. Does it mow evenly and is the mulching kit available for this deck as on the zero turn decks? thank you, great video!

Are you going to get the B2401 gear tractor? If so how long would it take?

B2401 is a great tractor, not too many people like shifting gears, so we don't see many of them get sold here.

My b2601 was great for 5 years and 500 hours. The rear diff lock can be problematic and shear teeth, be easy on it while engaging. It's a spendy repair

I have one and I love it but I would say the only down side is that it doesn’t have hydraulic outlets in back for equipment

I live in Colorado. We have a lot of rocks. Will this be able to do terracing or is it not really designed for that? Also, wondering how the bucket will perform when digging in this rough terrain? I also have sloped land and you said that it can get a bit topsy turvy. I need something for the above mentioned activities as well as snow removal. A front end loader would be needed as well, all of which this has, but it seems like this is more geared toward flat land.

For your use, I would recommend moving up into either an L01 or the B26, you would benefit from a heavier, wider tractor. It would all come down to price as these two models would be considerably more. Thanks for watching!

Check out video of using a "tooth bar" on the tractor bucket. It might be something that could help you. You really don't want to be working these on severe slopes. Sometimes the backhoe stabilizer can be extended a little downward on the downside of the slope to give you a little protection from tipping.
