    My tractor is currently stuck...

    Just following the thread on this, given I got a new L2501 about the same time as troverman. Im just curious what the outcome of this story is. 70 Degrees is pretty steep, and Im just curious to see if the tractor does fine after sitting at this angle. Not that I ever plan to (hopefully!) stick...

    How to deal with Wasps and Hornets

    I deal with wasps here in rural north florida all the time. Sounds like you backed into a small nest, most likely smaller than your fist. The best stuff to use is bengal wasp spray with a 20 foot spray nozzle. It kills on contact. Simply find the nest and spray it, the wasps on the nest will...

    Brake screw up...

    I told my story on this already a little bit ago, but I did this same thing with my brand new L2501. I did it twice actually on the same weekend.It had like 3 hours on it and I made this mistake. Thankfully I caught it after no more than like 100 yards. The 2nd time It happened I caught it much...

    HST Whine

    My brand new 2501 whines a lot. I was initially a little concerned with how loud it was, especially in High gear. From reading it seems its pretty normal however. I am curious what actually is the source of the whining, like what mechanically is actually the source of that noise we hear? What...

    Bx2230. Help. Not starting

    PTO isn't engaged is it? I always first look at the simple things - all the safety switches and mechanisms that would prevent a start. For my 2501 that means checking the seat safety switch, the PTO lever, and the clutch. If the pto is engaged and you try to start it, it will do exactly what you...

    Welcome to the forums! I'm fairly new here as well. I got a L2501 a few months ago as well. I don't even have 20 hours on it yet. I have a list of jobs I want to do but am waiting more on the fall when the weather will be more favorable. Most all my hours however have been put on the machine in...

    CountyLine 5' Tiller from TSC

    The QH15 at my dealer was like $450 I think. The harbor freight one is $100, and when on sale can be even cheaper. Ive heard good things about the harbor freight one honestly. If there are any draw backs it is going to have to come down to construction somewhere - the welds maybe, the spring...

    L3800 lifting 1000lb bales

    Just moving from a bucket mount spear to a quick attach spear will make a massive difference in the weight distribution. I dont like bucket mount spears or forks personally unless youre doing fairly light lifting. I know several people who have bent their buckets up using these things. Having...

    Land plane

    Never used a land plane on dirt personally but have seen one used on dirt driveways. Its very similar to a box blade except it will not drag and move the dirt. It will scrape off the top layer of dirt and settle it right back down in an even pattern. In the cases Ive seen it used it was to...

    Lock n lube

    I just recently got a brand new grease gun and got the LNL to go with it as my old gun started leaking. I love it so far. My old gun id have to snatch so hard on some of the grease fittings on my lawn mower, and Ive busted my knuckles more than once getting it off in a tight area. The LNL is so...

    Oh no. I hadnt considered that you may be using a quick hitch with a fixed top hook. I know its a bit of a drastic suggestion but if I were you Id sell the QH05 and buy the QH15 instead which has a fully adjustable top hook. I think that adjustable hook is just a good investment if you plan to...

    TSC County Line brush cutters

    Its not a bad recommendation D2Cat but it wouldn't work for my yard unfortunately. Trying to maneuver that L2501 all around the trees in my yard would be a nightmare. I have a fairly wooded yard with a lot of big pine tree's that I have to weave in and out of and around. If I had an open yard...

    TSC County Line brush cutters

    thanks for all the replies guys enjoy reading all the input. @GreensvilleJay: You arent wrong. However, to keep a pasture in good condition and help the grass grow you need to mow it occasionally as weeds inevitably sprout up. You could also spray for weeds but mowing works well. Also, not sure...

    The B2650 should be able to run a 5ft. tiller without a problem from what Ive seen. 60" is likely the maximum recommended however. For my 2501 the maximum rotary tiller size is 60", and the 2501 and 2650 have nearly identical PTO HP ratings of around 19 HP. I definitely wouldn't go over 5ft...

    TSC County Line brush cutters

    I appreciate these posts guys thanks for taking the time to share your information. It seems maybe the county line isnt as bad as some people make it seem. A few of the reviews really made me scratch my head, espeically ones where the gear box some how was just destroyed with its first use. I...

    TSC County Line brush cutters

    I don't like buying used typically. I don't like buying something I don't know how its been used or maintained, and I hate having to deal with strangers and arranging meeting them. Then if you find out something once u get whatever it is home ur kinda stuck with it. Id rather buy new, even if I...

    L2501 little to no power?

    as a new 2501 owner ive read through this thread with some interest. Just trying to soak up any knowledge on potential issues I could encounter one day. So far my 2501 runs like a champ, but only has 10 hours on it. I'm a little baffled by some suggesting here they are putting gas and seafoam...
