Ive settled on a B2601 to replace my 1985 L2250 which I've had since new. 60 in mmm, 60 in QT front loader and 70 series BH. Several questions to start.

No experience with suspended deck, been using contact decks for 42 years. Any issues on rugged terrain. My place is not a smooth football field.

Do I need a mechanical thumb for 400 bucks.

How about bucket size, 12 or 16 inch.

With BH off, is there any interference with 3pt hitch function from the added BH
Frame. Getting turf tires, any issue with infrequent BH use. Tree planting, digging out koi pond and such?

Any other input appreciated.

You might want to register/log in to a really good tractor forum. I have a B2910, and the people at TractorBYNet.com have answered a lot of questions for me, over the years.
