We decided to pull the trigger on a Kubota B2650 package plus some additional implements.
Really appreciate all the input, advice, and helpful posts, guys!
I'll have pics after I have it later this month.
Gotta find a PB replacement. You are going to be happy with that one.I have the 2501, standard trans.Same engine,same weight,all the same specs,but from what the dealer explained to me, the tuning /emissions is set up differently. Rated HP is only 25, net about 23hp So far,I have never run out of power. pushing snow,running brush hog and moving gravel/dirt. I bought a 60 snow blower last April but have not had chance to work it.

Looking at a JD 3032e. Wonder if anyone has any experience with them? I've run a 3038e for around 4 or 5 years and have had no problems. Mainly bushogging, spraying pasture and fence lines, moving dirt/cleanout, dragging trees, moving trailers, disking, spreading seed, pulling a small cultipacker, etc Love the hydrostat for tight places and hillsides. It is light, which has been handy bushogging around ponds and wet spots, but there is a trade off on traction. It's plain jane on extras, loader is fixed, and ROP is fixed (but will fit under a 7' door). Main things I'd change are a larger fuel tank and a decent spot for a tool box. Used within it's size/design requirements mine has been a solid no frills machine.

Just wanted to report back on the new tractor. Have a tractor package here now. Package included the B2650 w/ FEL and QA bucket and forks; 4' shredder, box blade, all on a 7K 18' trailer.. Have gotten some use out of all implements so far. I may be fighting my wife to drive it though. She sure had fun. Thanks for the advice and suggestions. Thanks to 458lott for the post way up above about a tractor package. Mine is nearly identical. Found one a lot closer than Illinois!

I'd post pics, but PB is dead to me and don't yet have another third-party allowable account.

Did you buy from that outfit in Illinois and if so, how did they ship it to you? I'm happy with my Kubota so far. I'd still make the same decision today.

A trailer is my next purchase. Is yours a tilt or ramp? What brand? With my back blade and forks the tractor is about 17'

Not from Illinois. Bought in WA. Shipping was going to push $7K! Fuel was less.
Pete-
Trailer is a "Tuff trailer" made in WA. It's 18' deck w ramps.

Actually it did cause the truck to squat a bit. Need air bags.
