Op, when you were looking at tractors, did you consider the L? A B2650 and L2501 are very close in price and I am torn. Same situation with the 33 horse models.
My father and I looked at an equivalent JD and they are basically the same price. I try not to be brand biased so I figured they were worth the look.. Very cheap look and feel IMO. Growing up with Kubota my whole life, I felt like a traitor too.
I chose the 50 series for the larger frame and tires. The fact that I am 6'-5" factored in as well.
As far as the BX series, I never really considered it because I thought it would just be too small for what I needed it to do. I did look at the L series Kubota but the lack of a mid PTO was the killer for me because I wanted to have the option of adding a front mount snowblower or a belly mower.
The B2650 with the rear and mid PTOs just hit the sweet spot being big enough to do what I need without the DEF stuff that the larger engines have. Good luck in your search and let us know what you decide on.
