If only I knew then what I know now. Why I bought the Kubota B2601 compact tractor. MCG Video #260

A five-year owner looks back on his B2601 purchase and flags what he'd do differently, specifically around undersizing (horsepower and lift capacity as needs grew from 4 to 33 acres), skipping the backhoe, and getting distracted by options like swift-attach and a rubber floor mat that proved useless. He shares his rough total spend (~$25K) and touches on the regen/horsepower tradeoff above 25HP. Best for first-time compact tractor buyers weighing options and budget.
