What couldn't it do? I believe the b has a cat 1

Nice to know!

The factory cabs have ac, but from what I understand you can't remove the doors and there are no windows to open. Here it gets over 80 for many of the summer days and our winners get quite cold and windy

I wasn't referring to you. most of my trees are 4-8 inch popples, they fall over for literally no reason, so I'm guessing they won't be terribly difficult to dig up. I mean, kids love tractors, but besides that, if I were to wait until they weren't around, I'd never get a meaningful amount of...

It does look fun. However, I have more time than money, and thus am not in that big of a rush to clear the property, I have 2-3 years to get a tractor and clear the rest of the space I need.

noted. I'm considering aftermarket cab options, also, as $6k+ for a cab with no vent options seems sub optimal. Why don't people like the digital dash? I agree, anytime kids are around equipment, there's potential for injury, but on a homestead, it's not always avoidable, so I'm going to...

thank you. I guess I wasn't clear? my driveway and road are clear. I would need to widen the driveway a little, but I even have a turnaround at the end of the driveway. I have also filled the 20x30x6 ditch at the start of the now driveway. A lot of the big work has already been done in the two...

Right, but he's saying don't plow with an l, just use it for yard chores and pay someone else to plow the garden, dig up trees, ect... I'm more than willing to work inside the limits of the tractor, I'm buying a tractor with a backhoe to use it, but I'm not going to buy a tractor just to...

I can understand that, what I was referring to is grading a driveway or plowing a garden like upnorthmi implied would damage it

I'm confused, if the loader and backhoe are the same capacity, and the same unit respectively, what would the L2501 do that the B2650 couldn't? They both have the same engine AND PTO power available. Especially if it sounds like any way I go I'm digging up the stumps Also, how would any task a...

Thank you. I really would rather get a b than anything bigger. I'm going to have time to work on my projects, so I'm not really worried about doing things super quick, just so long as it will do it without being frustratingly slow. Can you push over smaller trees? Let's say 10" and under? Is it...

The grand L is too big and too expensive, plus I'm not looking to push over a mountain, I think the biggest trees I'm looking at moving would be 10 inches across. would the l2501 be enough tractor? without the cab :( and with the rear snowblower :( it's cheap enough I can justify it's cost. I...

thank you for your input. I'm getting my info from messicks . he says the LX, both of the engine choices, is as big as the bigger B series was. The LX appears to be a slightly larger and heavier tractor than the b.

the main thing I don't know is if the B or even LX will be big enough to do any of this. If the B is big enough, I'll take longer and just do it slower, no problem. but if I need the LX or L to do the job, so be it. if the B will let me dig up stumps of trees relatively easily, I'll gladly "live...

Yes, the lx is what used to be the large b with the serviceable dpf now used, for all intents and purposes. The lx seems to use a 4 point hitch to mount the front snowblower, where the b uses a subframe, which is a more affordable option
