I put the deposit down on a new B2650 with the 60 inch SSQA bucket and the BB1260 Landpride box grader and QA, delivery week of December. 19. Will store it across the street from our new house being built at a friend's house for a few months. First few jobs, clearing a patch of grubbed land near the house that is already growing weeds, making a backyard rc track, then spreading about 100 tons of crushed granite. Really looking forward to playing/working with my new toy.

Congratulations on your new tractor, not that you asked, but I have two LP box scrapers and would seriously consider going with at least a BB1560 for more weight.
Did you get any rear remotes, best thing I ever got for using a box scraper was a hydraulic top link.

I have the big brother B3350 CAB great tractor I felt I needed the extra HP, love the 54 inch blade , I had a bigger blade one time and it keep getting in the way, for Me I like the smaller blade you made a good choice.

Congrats on your new machine! You will find as have all of the other B2650 owners that it is a very capable machine. You will enjoy working with it and then trick it out with the accessories that will help you be more productive such as bucket hooks and front and rear LED lighting. I have over 430 hrs on mine doing all types of tasks and have found that you need 650 pounds of ballast weight for doing heavy front loader work which I have done alot of. It keeps the machine planted solid even going over uneven ground.

B3350 CAB FEL LOADED TIRES 4" WHEEL SPACERS EXTENSIONS, I always though loaded tires was for traction only, I found out they are great for stability also my b3350 is very stable I feel very secure on steep slopes, love the combination.

Hello MyB3350. Showing you have 4" spacers on your tractor . Is that 4" on each side?? Where did you purchase those. And yes definitely agree about ballast. I just put a Kubota ballast box on and loaded with gravel. I have almost tipped 4 or five times without. I use my forks a lot . find I max out though as I lift lots so just have to be careful and split loads if can.
Sorry I purchased it used with 42 hours but the guy I purchased it from had it tricked out perfecy by his Kubota dealer 4 inch extender each side rear LED work light, for ballasts I use a roll of round hay with my hey spear, works great for me
Got my new b2650 today . Played a little with it ripping out a patch of weeds about 150' X 30' in about 15 minutes.
