First tractor price check LX2610SU

[ilnasty]

I have about 7 acres all field no timber. I am looking for a tractor to move some gravel, maintain my 200' gravel driveway, till up a garden and move some snow. I got a quote for an LX2610SU and LA535 Quick attach 60" bucket ($18500) with all land pride implements including BB1260 box blade ($650), RB1572 rear blade ($625), RTR1258 tiller ($2100), PFL1242 pallet forks($640), and a 9" auger ($1400) for $23700 not including tax. Puts me at around $285 with the 80 month financing. Is this a good deal?

Thats a GREAT deal. A lot better than I got, and I thought mine was pretty good.

Sounds like good pricing! The BB1560 box blade is what I'm running with my B2650HST rops tractor, basically the same base tractor as yours, with your quote being on a BB1260. I recommend the bigger (taller) box scraper that I have, if only that the added box weight helps it engage the ground more positively, and as rear ballast the added weight really helps with FEL and forks work. The BB1560 is about 80 lbs. heavier than the BB1260. With my BB on, there's nothing the forks or loader can lift that it's not enough ballast for.

How much snow will you be getting? A few inches now and then with a rare big dump is ok with a loader and/or the rear blade you're getting. But IMO, with yearly multiple 6"+ snow events for example, a front mount blower beats all. Especially good for leaving no snow banks buildup ever along the drive edges.
And again IMO, with the box blade and only 200 ft to maintain, there's no need for the rear blade for the gravel. So get a front blower instead of the rear blade?

Any way it goes it sounds like you're in that tractor/implement shopping zone, I spent many months at that, maybe years, and the final new equip quotes mean its getting close! Have fun!

I may just drop The blade completely because I have a grizzly 700 with a warn plow setup that does fine with the amount of snow we have got the last five years. Thanks for the idea of the BB1560 I may switch over to that
