    Help Me Pick Out A Model... 3.5 acres 400' driveway

    Naaa, I love her, but she is an expensive mistress... She loves long haul trips and those just come few and far between for me. I miss out on a lot of screw around flying. The plane I should have kept was my 1947 Cessna 140... The fast heavy hauler is cool, but I'll log more hours if I can...

    Yawl making me want one… guess we’ll see what I get out of the Mooney… The airplane market seems to have softened… but man those look handy and fun, and not everyone has one! I still want one but don’t want to rule ones out that don’t have it… but we’ll see. there’s a b7800 with one not far...

    thanks! I may very well go b2650 as I’m very open to used. I’m leaning that way maybe, but I’m still unsure the b2601 wasn’t plenty… however I’m having a hard time finding a solid reason to not go with the 2650 instead… I’ll have to take a look at that cab! Thank you. I am very very handy-...

    how is the cab with the doors off and rear window out? Part of the year I’d like to be as open air as possible. MI isn’t Alaska- but I’d still rather not eat snow spray while blowing :) I’m just undecided if I want a cab to deal with all the time or bundle up. I mean I am only planning on...

    Okay, question for all as we discuss the b2601 vs the 50/lx: In the used market, if I can find ones that are similar priced enough that the price point isn't the deciding factor, why would I choose the b2601 over the b2650 or lx2610? Curiosity question-not a challenge to anyone...

    You too have my ear. I was thinking b2601 while being open to a 2650/LX. Last couple posts have me thinking that, "Okay, maybe one more step up"... The GP outdoors YouTube shows him doing some amazing work with the 2601, so I thought it was more than adequate for what I will need. But it also...

    Fantastic info... Thank you. I think that is where I am at on the BH... We have also reworked some of our house modifications around and are not going to be installing egress windows in the basement and are going to keep the current well so the BH projects out of the gate are cancelled. So I...

    Yea, maybe.... If I have some work to do, and really the work I would need to do with one would be "front end loaded" no pun intended of the property ownership.... Egress Windows, stump removal, planting of some pines, maybe doing a ground level trampoline for the kiddos and possibly the...

    Yea, looks like I'll be holding it a while most likely! Thanks

    that's not a bad idea... The BH is a lot of investment, so I'm still interested but it's not my top priority. Maybe I should try to get a cheaper mini-escavator stand alone and after the first year or two most of those projects are done, sell it off. More convenient maybe than renting and it...

    3PTH hitch Blower vs Front snowblower

    I know this is a very old thread, BUT #KubotaVet, how is your camera system for 3pt snow blowing going years later? Was it a good option? Have you been happy? I think I'm going to go 3pt for a snow blower as I assemble my spring Kubota purchase....

    Yea absolutely... Iv driven larger geared tractors many a moon ago, I was engaged to a girl in college who's daddy was a cash crop farmer in MN, I helped him on breaks and such. But yea for yard stuff I wouldn't want one, was just curious of the technical advantage. Makes sense for work where...

    Help Me Pick Out A Model... 3.5 acres 400' driveway

    Thank you, yea I think I've eliminated the BX. I think I'm leaning B2601 or 2650/LXequiv. I'm trying to find goldilocks and I think BX is too small, L I think is too large for my needs, so now just need to refine which B or LX, right now I'm thinking 2601. I probably will go used so some may...

    Thank You so much!!! Yea I think I'm leaning B2601 or 2650. I may look for one with a cab for snowplowing and just the take the doors off for summer. I realize the 2601 would be an aftermarket, but there are two for sale right now in my area on marketplace with a nice looking non-factory cab...

    I am going to think about a soft cab maybe, in non winter ops I want fresh air… I’ll water the lawn so it’ll never be absurdly dusty
