    Hey Jack, great video. I picked the B2601 as the perfect size for my 6 acres. We have about an acre for the homestead plus 3 or 4 acres of forests and a couple acres of meadow. A BX might have done well, but we have a lot of hills and I wanted enough power to move logs and loads up and down those hills. But I didn't want to go any bigger than the B2601 because of stability on those hills. For me, it's perfect.

      That's great, for lots of forest work the B01 series is always the good option. Have a nice weekend and thanks for the support!

      @Mike Mancini it's the width to height ratio that's important.

    We had the good fortune of borrowing a BX23S this summer and immediately the lack of clearance was a compromise for us. Also didn't have a need for the backhoe.
    So we bought a B2401DT instead. We have about 3 acres to brush-hog plus some forest to log and trails to build.

      B2401 is a cool tractor, we don’t see a whole lot of them. But they give you piles of value for your money! Good pick 🔥

    My BX2380 is the perfect size for my property, love my BX 👍🏻. I haven’t seen a lot RUclipsrs with the B2601 with a backhoe, thanks for the info. Have a great weekend 🙋🏼‍♂️🙂👍🏻

      The 2380 is an awesome machine as well! Backhoes on the B2601 seem to come in waves, right now they are popular 😂 have a nice weekend!!

    Thanks for recommending the BX23s for our property. The rear snowblower works great, moves a lot of snow.

    You talk about lawn mowing vs. going out into the woods , but I have a mower , and a bigger loader to go out in the woods . What I want to compare is for a small market garden , a starter tractor with out a need to upgrade as the garden grows

    We have a Kubota MX5200 and are thinking of buying a smaller tractor for mowing and stuff. Tending towards the BX as it will be cheaper and we have the larger tractor for bigger jobs and implements

  • @JelenOutDoors

    Hi there, the BX series tractor is more than adequate for 5 acres or less. Also, it is very good in the bush because you can maneuver in tight places much better than any other size tractor. Ground clearance overall is not that bad. The one thing you mentioned was the lower lift capacity of the BX and your right but it is not often that you would need more and no matter what size tractor you have there is never enough. Speaking from 6 years of experience with a BX and many more years with larger tractors.

    Thank you for explaining the differences, I am happy you recommend the BX23s to me! And couldn't be happier with it. Unless there was a cab floating around the yard for me! Haha! Does the B line have downward pressure on the 3pt hitch?

      BX23s is a beast for its size! Like David said we don't start seeing down pressure until we get into some bigger AG tractors. Thanks for watching and the support!

    I thought the loader number was the lifting capacity in kilograms

    • @edspy1418
      @edspy1418 Месяц назад

      I think it is, but that's including the weight of the bucket

    • @edspy1418
      @edspy1418 Месяц назад

      Plus, it's the weight at the pins. The bucket sticks out beyond the pins along with whatever you load into it effectively decreasing what you can carry

    I have B2601 60" MMM on 1/3 of a acre. My wife wouldn't ok the BX1880 she was afraid it was too small and would need to trade in. 3 years old next early next month and have 165 hrs on it , its never been on a trailer I just do projects within 1/4 mile or so from home. I've cut 40 face cord or so firewood on neighbors low land. His L2501 sinks where the B with turf tires more floats 😀
