I'm about to make the plunge. I wish Kubota only had two models it sure would make it easier. I own 8 acres of woods which I just built a new home in the middle. I'll be using this tractor for landscaping, hauling logs and rocks, snow plowing a 400' driveway and clearing up throughout the woods. I'm leaning towards the 2410 because of its size in the woods. The 2710 is only $1000 more at this point but it is bigger. Tractor will have R4's, and loader for now. Backhoe hopefully next year. You owners of the 2410, are you happy with it? Enough power?, Sorry this is long but I'm getting only one shot at this. By the way I'm at $15000 even for this tractor. Sound fair?Larry

Larry, I assume the $15,000 even includes the front end loader. A year ago last August, I bought my B2710 for $15,500 including the front end loader. They may have gone up a bit by now, and of course, I know dealers who were selling them for more at that time, too. So I would guess that your price is about right. ....

Larry,
I have a fairly new (20 hrs.) B2410. My uses for it are pretty similar to yours, it sounds like - moving snow in the winter, landscaping, etc. I use mine to finish mow too. I think it would handle clearing the 400' driveway, though I wouldn't want to use just a loader (probably go with a 6' rear blade or 5' blower instead) - that's true of any tractor. The loader has a lift capacity of 770 lb to full height and I've been very happy with how it works.
I think that the B2410 is a pretty good combination of maneuverability and lifting power - sometimes my tractor even seems a little unwieldy in the woods, with a tiller (for ballast) on the back and the loader on the front. Overall I'd recommend it without reservation.
If you 1) don't need to finish mow, 2) are definitely going to get a backhoe, and 3) can afford the $$$, the B2710/B2910 might be a good option. There is a good bit of difference in hydraulic pump output between the B2410 and B2710 and you might really benefit from that with the backhoe. Maybe you can live with a little less maneuverability.
As for the price, it sounds like you are at about 15% off list (tractor + loader), and that is pretty good. Depends a lot on where you live too.

Larry, I also have a B 2710 with a 6' Curtis plow up front. With chains there seemed to enough traction and power so this year I widened the plow to 8' and it did just fine. Good luck JT ....
