It also touches on the LA435 loader with Swift-Tach removal. It's a short, feature-and-mechanics overview rather than a hands-on demo, useful for buyers comparing the B2401 against the hydrostatic B2301/B2601.
Posted by a salesperson at Adams Tractor via the Coeur d'Alene Tractor channel, so expect a dealership-style walkaround rather than an independent review.
The B2401 is gear-driven while the B2301 and B2601 are hydrostatic. The B2401 has more horsepower than the B2301 but less than the B2601, making it an economical option.
It has three gear shifting locations and three ranges, low, mid, and high, plus 1, 2, 3, and reverse, giving nine total gears.
Clutching disengages PTO-driven equipment like mowers or snowblowers. Throttling down first prevents the equipment from going from 0 to 60 and damaging metal-on-metal connections.
Yes, it comes standard with the LA435 loader, which uses the Swift-Tach setup so the loader can be removed without getting out of the seat.
