It's equipped with fel 60inch mmm,land pride rcr1260 cutter,filled rear tires and a rear work light. I would like to add a blue diamond light duty 66inch grapple in the spring. Do you guys think I should go ahead and get it with the 3rd function now for $800 more? And comments please on the rcr1260 with this tractor. Thanks

I agree to do it now but be warned, I'm told there is a back order on the 3rd function valve for the 2650. My dealer and a few others are telling me end of September...
If your dealer has one, I'd get it. If you are feeling generous ask them if they have two and let me know who they are...

Oh yeah, Messicks quoted me 799 so if they are installing it for 800 that's a deal! My dealer is charging me like 200-250 for the install.

My tractor was only sold with a 48" Bush hog cutter with a slip clutch, if you are cutting thick heavy grass you may have to go slower. I was told a 5' bush hog could be too much for 19 PTO horsepower.

I got it today. I took a few pics on my phone I'll have to figure out how to put them on here.it handles the rcr1260 beautiful with no problem. I just have to figure out how to lock deck in raised position so I can raise and lower 3ph?http://www.orangetractortalks.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=12823&stc=1&d=1410622263http://www.orangetractortalks.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=12823&stc=1&d=1410622585Current Attachments (57.7 KB)Current Attachments (98.0 KB)

Sweet!!

I just got my tractor back from the 50 hour service and they added the 3rd function valve. They installed my "knob" backwards from yours. Let me know how you like your buttons on the outside.

Now I'm saving up to order my grapple!

I'm going to rotate mine around so I can use my thumb without having to change my hand position.how much did you pay for your tractor? My five foot cutter cut knee high grass with no problem going full speed in low range.most of my cutting is done on flat ground. It did feel slightly unstable on a side incline. I would prob recommend a 4 footer if cutting on a sideways slope.but for flat ground the 5 works just fine. I'm impressed with the lifting capabilities of this little tractor. The only complaint is they should have a way to lock mmm in raised position so you don't have to remove it when using 3ph and the armrests don't come out far enough.

volsfan,, the bx has a way to keep the mmm from dropping when you don't want it to. I would think the b series does also. What dealer did you get it from?

Think I found how to do it in manual. I got it from beshears Kubota in Oxford Alabama . They were at least 1400 cheaper out of three quotes I got. I also got 0 percent for 72 months on the b2650 so it was a no brainer. It also feels like more than 26 hp. I believe those numbers @ 2500rpm are very conservative it has some grunt to it. I believe it would handle the 72 inch mower easily.

Mine is being delivered 9/23/14. (B2650) I have went back and forth between this one and an L3200. Hope I made right decision. The L was about 2600 more, but I wasn't sure wife felt comfortable on it like she did the 26. Main uses will be driveway grading, lifting cut logs, and tilling 1/2 acre garden. Weekend warrior stuff. Have 6 acres, but most are natural setting trees. With FEL I paid 17500, plus taxes. Hope I wasn't raked over the coals too bad. Here is pic, without bucket. Oh, by the way, this is my first post with yall.

Where did you get yours. I was quoted yesterday about $23k up here in northern Wisconsin.

461mike... bought in Tallahassee fl. I called other stores (outside of fl) for comparisons and my local dealer was actually the cheapest. The amount of time I spent up there undecided between tractors, he may have dropped the price some just to get rid of me. That l3200 is giving me remorse still about letting it pass by.

Jason G... If I am correct you can not put a mid mount mower on the L series, correct. That is a big thing for me as with the 5+ acres I have over a hundred trees to get around some in tight spaces. Plus 4 acres are full fenced (6'welded wire) so the corners are also tight.
I believe the 2650 would be the way to go. How do you like yours so far?

Correct. No mid mount on l3200. Most of my grass I can do with old Kubota t1400, so mid PTO wasn't really a strong selling point. I suppose though, that once I've accomplished clearing more of my property, that mmm may come in handy after all. I may just be underestimating the power of the b2650, as I am a complete novice in the world of tractors. The l3200 may have been too big afterall. Today is Sunday, and b2650 will be delivered this wed. I will keep ya posted.

Jason G, I think you will be very happy with your purchase. I really like mine.I think you got a great deal. Get the rear tires filled it will give you around 350 pounds more weight. So far I love my little 2650.
