Why the B2601 Works Well for Small Farm and Property Use
The HST transmission is the defining feature for most buyers. Three ranges Low, Medium, High cover everything from slow precision mowing around obstacles to faster transport across a property. No clutch pedal, no gear changes. Forward and reverse on a treadle pedal. For buyers who haven’t operated a tractor before, this is the easiest transmission type to learn on. For experienced operators, it’s the fastest for tasks that require frequent speed changes.
The 6.9 ft turning radius is genuinely tight for a 25.5 HP machine. Most compact tractors at this HP level turn in 7–9 ft. That extra agility matters when mowing around trees, working in garden beds, or operating in a barn where space is limited. At 1,632 lbs the machine is also light enough to be gentle on turf an advantage for buyers who mow large lawn areas.
Swift-Tach loader compatibility means a front loader attaches and detaches quickly without tools. When loader work is done, the machine converts back to a clean tractor for mowing or PTO work in seconds. That convenience is easy to underestimate until you’re doing it daily.

What This Tractor Is Used For
Mowing
Mid-mount mower deck compatible — 54-inch deck available. The HST transmission makes mowing around trees and obstacles easy with instant speed adjustments. At 1,632 lbs the machine is light enough not to leave ruts on wet turf. Suitable for lawn areas from 1–20 acres where precision matters.
Front Loader Work
Swift-Tach loader attachment for moving soil, gravel, mulch, and general property materials. The 4WD provides traction when loader work takes place on soft ground. Loader detaches quickly when not needed — keeping the tractor light and manoeuvrable for other tasks.
Landscaping & Property Maintenance
Grading driveways, spreading topsoil, levelling, and general acreage maintenance. The tight turning radius and compact footprint make this machine practical in spaces where larger tractors struggle. Backhoe attachment also available for light digging and trenching.
Tillage & Garden Work
Light tillage with a compact rotary tiller or cultivator on garden beds, market gardens, and small paddocks. The 3-point hitch handles compact Category I implements and the HST gives precise speed control during slow-speed tilling passes.
General Property Work
Post-hole drilling, snow clearing with a front blade, hauling on a small trailer, and year-round property maintenance. The foldable ROPS allows the machine to operate in low-clearance areas like barns and polytunnels without modification.
