@@superdadkevin5797 hey buddy I have the same tractor with the same tire setup you do. Heres some numbers for you to keep in mind. The tractor bare weighs right at 4000#. The loader with bucket adds around 800 or so lbs. My rear tires have 480# per tire of fluid. That's using water and glycol I believe. So tractor with tires weighted and loader is roughly 5800lb-5900lb. Any more questions just ask and I'll help you out. Enjoy it I have 50 hours on mine already and it's been great. P.S. your 50 hour service will cost you about $300
Love the looks of these tractors however I've always loved the way MASSEY FERGUSON tractors since I was a kid in the early 60s and part of the early 70s my dad brought home an 1150 v8 MASSEY in 74 man what a beast . Anyway, I hope to be in the market to buy a BN 2855M W A CAB AND SHUTTLE TRANS also w the front fenders to keep the stones from flying up and hitting the glass on the front of the cab of course I want the loader and of course out fitted with the R1 AG tires my dealer will be ABELE TRACTOR IN ALBANY NY .
That operator station looks a lot more comfortable and ergonomic than the 2600H series. Very very nice! If you're like me, you'll be in Low 1 for hard work, Low 2 or 3 for mowing, and Low 4 for traveling off road. I try to keep my precious rubber lugs off the pavement, so high range is rare. Good idea getting loaded tires! Very nice setup you have there.
Yeah. But that 2600H series a prolly a bit more stout and rugged then the 2800E series. 2600H is old school for those that want something more similar to pre 90s tractors.
Be careful concentrating weight/load when pushing/lifting on your loader on one side, like when you pushed the fork straight. That can tweak your loader frame. Watch your video in slow motion when you did that....you’ll see the loader flex higher on that right side. Good looking tractor! I’m thinking of trading my 27 hp Deere for a larger Massey.
Curious on the Massey loader, is it as smooth as the Kubota to run 2 functions at once? Especially curl back and lower at the same time to keep loads level on the pallet forks. I went from a Kubota to a Kioti and was very disappointed with the loader controls. Going back to a Kubota or trying a Massey, not sure yet. thanks!
Well the massey does do 2 functions at one time but it takes some finesse after being used to the kubota and to be honest I'm not sure going from the 2501 to the massey 2860 is comparable because the hydraulics on the massey are soo much faster and I had to really learn to dial my movements down... my suggestion is to test drive both your options nothing like getting your hands on the tractor and getting a feel of the controls! I hope this helps
@@superdadkevin5797 thanks, the issue I head with the kioti was that it would dump instead of curl when trying to do 2 functions with a load. Like it was going into a bypass or something.
I have the same model but in hydro. My biggest dislike is the steering. I hear it a little bit on your tractor as well, whining when turning the wheel, and steering seems to get stiffer as revs go up. Have you experienced this? I don't know if it's just the way it is, or if mine has an issue. Been like this from day one. My kubota steers much easier, so that is my only comparison.

Looks like a well designed operators station. Should make you a good tractor!
It's pretty sweet especially for the economy model!

@@highinthedirt yeah that hasn't happened with the massey at all!
