Winter Solutions: The Kubota B2650 Compact Tractor

Posted on

The Kubota B2650 compact tractor is designed to fit the needs of families and small farm owners who require a compact tractor that can handle a demanding work load through all seasons.  In order to help folks fight through those New England winters, the B2650 has the capability of being that year-round tractor with its subframe attachment system. When a B2650 is equipped with a quick attach subframe, the tractor can operate a front mounted snow blower or hydraulic angling snow plow. Having the implements in front makes it easier for the operator to control the attachments in tight areas or long driveways. Unlike conventional rear mounted snow blowers, front mounted snow blowers do not require the operator to have their neck turned for an extended duration which eliminates operator fatigue and poor efficiency.  

 
If a front mounted snow blower is outside of the budget and you need a way to remove snow, and do not have restrictions on where to put that snow, a snow plow can be a great choice. There are two options when picking a front mounted plow. A loader mounted plow is the quickest and easiest way to install a front mounted plow on your tractor. The second option, the quick attach subframe snow plow, is more compact than a loader mounted snow plow making it easier to store inside, operate in tight areas, and see from the operator’s platform.
The B2650 is flexible so you can have the ability to use a loader in the spring, summer and fall seasons and still be able to use your subframe implements in the winter. When you are ready to mount your blower or quick attach plow, you detach your loader and set it off to the side. Then you can drive over the subframe attachment and hook it onto the tractor. The ability to have two front end systems on one tractor is a great solution for families or small farms that only have the need and room for one tractor to handle work during all seasons.
If you want to learn more about the B2650 Kubota compact tractor or any of our other snow equipment solutions, feel free to reach out to the sales team at either of our stores. We’ll be happy to talk through your winter needs and offer some suggestions on what equipment would be the best fit for taking care of your property or helping with your commercial snow removal operation.

It’s Field Mowing Season Part Two

Posted on

A few weeks back we posted about the features, advantages and disadvantages of both rotary and flail mowers in field mowing applications. Spencer, part of our sales team, took some time to put together a video explaining some of these details through a visual comparison of the two different mower types. We hope this is helpful, especially for those who might not be as familiar with rotary mowers and flail mowers and the differences between the two.

It’s Field Mowing Season

Posted on

Summer is here and that means it's field mowing season. Whether you run a commercial field mowing operation or simply like mowing a field or two on your own property, there are some great equipment options out there that will help you get the most out of your mowing experience. Choosing the right mower for your land is an important decision. There are quite a few different options to choose from and you'll want to make sure you choose the right product for your application, for your tractor, for your budget and for the look you want to achieve. The most common two field mower styles in the northeast are rotary mowers and flail mowers. Land Pride Rotary Mowers

Rotary mowers, also called brush hogs, have two thick blades that spin parallel with the ground and  are known for their ability to mow through thick bushes and even small trees. Quality rotary mowers are typically more economical than flail mowers and are known for their durable design and their ability to cut through woody type material. Rotary mowers also require less horsepower to operate than flail mowers and they allow the operator to back in under low hanging branches if necessary. Although they cut through tougher terrain, rotary mowers will leave a rough finish to your fields. They also have a long tail swing making it easier to leave scalp marks and it can be challenging changing the knives on a rotary mower.
Flail Mowers are known for their ability to leave a cleaner cut than brush hogs due to their multi knife cutting drum that rotates perpendicular to the ground . Although they are typically more expensive than rotary mowers, if you're looking for beautifully finished fields, a flail mower is often the perfect fit. It's easy to replace knifes on flail mowers, which also have less of a tail swing, eliminating the scalping that might come with using a rotary mower. Additionally, if you're limited for space, flail mowers offer an easier storage solution.On the down side, flail mowers cannot be used for thicker, woody brush, they're strictly for small brush and grass. Flail mowers will also require a larger horsepower tractor.
