Covers value at the ~$20K price point, pulling ability, traction (R14s, 4WD, diff lock), three-point adequacy, and, most usefully, an honest critique of the LA435 loader's jerky hydraulics and safety concerns with heavy loads. Best for buyers weighing whether this sub-compact fits light-duty rural use.
An owner-operator sharing hands-on impressions from their own small property, with no apparent dealer or brand affiliation.
The B2601 is right around twenty thousand dollars, while the LX above it is a lot more money, north of thirty thousand with a cab.
Yes, the owner pulled a heavy duty truck out of the snow after a neighbor got high centered, using low gear for pulling power.
It can get jerky and stall out, especially deadheading the bucket, and with heavy loads lifted high it wants to drop suddenly, which feels unsafe on uneven ground.
It is adequate, has pins for side adjustment, but lacks the quick adjust levers found on Kubota's next tractor level up.
