    Hey Jack, great video. I picked the B2601 as the perfect size for my 6 acres. We have about an acre for the homestead plus 3 or 4 acres of forests and a couple acres of meadow. A BX might have done well, but we have a lot of hills and I wanted enough power to move logs and loads up and down those hills. But I didn't want to go any bigger than the B2601 because of stability on those hills. For me, it's perfect.

    That's great, for lots of forest work the B01 series is always the good option. Have a nice weekend and thanks for the support!

    @Mike Mancini it's the width to height ratio that's important.

    Hi there, the BX series tractor is more than adequate for 5 acres or less. Also, it is very good in the bush because you can maneuver in tight places much better than any other size tractor. Ground clearance overall is not that bad. The one thing you mentioned was the lower lift capacity of the BX and your right but it is not often that you would need more and no matter what size tractor you have there is never enough. Speaking from 6 years of experience with a BX and many more years with larger tractors.

    We had the good fortune of borrowing a BX23S this summer and immediately the lack of clearance was a compromise for us. Also didn't have a need for the backhoe. So we bought a B2401DT instead. We have about 3 acres to brush-hog plus some forest to log and trails to build.

    You talk about lawn mowing vs. going out into the woods , but I have a mower , and a bigger loader to go out in the woods . What I want to compare is for a small market garden , a starter tractor with out a need to upgrade as the garden grows

    I have B2601 60" MMM on 1/3 of a acre. My wife wouldn't ok the BX1880 she was afraid it was too small and would need to trade in. 3 years old next early next month and have 165 hrs on it , its never been on a trailer I just do projects within 1/4 mile or so from home. I've cut 40 face cord or so firewood on neighbors low land. His L2501 sinks where the B with turf tires more floats 😀
