Yes it would have come with the 3 pt hitch, but you show a backhoe, and the 3 point arms must be removed to install the backhoe. If you dont have them then your dealer has/had them.

Unless it was purchased used, then the previous owner would have/had it.

Thanks, I just listed my unit above. I am probly confused about a 3pt hitch and a stabilizer kit. Any help there and whether that 3pt. Hitch is included in the purchase of the tractor?

Yes the tractor would have been sent with the 3 pt arms. They need to be removed though when the backhoe is attached. So if it was delivered with the back hoe installed you should have received them. Believe the stabilizer kit you are referring to would be the upgraded telescoping stabilizers instead of the turnbuckle style that comes standard on the basic L series.

Thanks that's the answer im looking for. Got me on that stabilizers question, too. Listening to the dealer and getting confused. I agree with you the 3pt arms are necessary and shouldn't be an accessory.

The tractor should include stabilizer arms which are adjusted with the included turnbuckles. If you want the telescoping type they are available for an extra charge. There are also after market telescoping arms available. I change implements seldom enough I'm fine with the turnbuckles.

When I did some more digging I found on the "equipment in standard machine" sheet under "Hydraulics" the 3 Pt. Hitch is listed twice. Once under 5.2 GPM Remote/3Pt. Hitch and again under "Hydraulics" Cat 1 3-point Hitch. So, if it's shown on the buyers order sheet from a dealer, it MUST be included. Right?

Yes it is included. My previous posts were made thinking you already had the tractor. Since you are getting the backhoe Im going to assume at delivery it will have the back hoe attached to tractor. The 3 point arms will be removed to allow this so make sure they give them to you. When you want to remove the backhoe and attach a 3 point implement you will need to install the 3 point lift arms after you remove the hoe.

Also if you decide to upgrade to telescoping stabilizers, be sure they will clear the backhoe subframe. Maybe somebody with a L series and backhoe here can verify, mine just has the turnbuckle stabilizers

Here’s an L3301 with a BH77 subframe and the telescoping stabilizers.

What's your thinging about Titan Brands. And these implements,
RT180 191477 72” HD TILLER
LRAKE6V2 191350 72” RAKE
Thanks

I don’t know too much about Titan gear (or rakes for that matter), but as the L2501 itself is about 55” wide, a 72” tiller seems a bit big, especially since they make a 60” one as well—you just want to cover your tracks.
Be curious what others think about going that wide and heavy on a tiller for an L2501.

My dealer is the best. I have a land pride RTA1258 for my L2501.....perfect fit....covers my tracks and is a beast....top quality and broke new ground ready for seeding with 3 passes. Buy cheap and cry later.....72" is too wide and not suitable for the 2501. Instead of upgrading the the 3 point stabilizing bars...I went with a quick hitch....another dealer suggestion. No need to worry about hooking up with land pride equipment, or other QH compatible implements.

The telescoping stabilizing arms are a $200 option !
Cheap and Handy!
Good Luck!

Wow. You see, that's why people like me come here. Great knowledge. I didn't even think about that part of it. Thanks.

I would keep the 72” rake though so if/when you angle it, it will cover your tracks. Can’t help with titan, but I have county line (tartar) 60”tiller and 72” rake, for my limited uses they have been fine.

We have a tractor supply company near us and they sell the county line products.. Some of the dealers I've spoke to have mixed feelings about about county line. It's good to hear someone else out there uses the product and likes it. I'd much rather buy something that has a warranty and service behind it, as is locally.

Thanks. More learning here. Like, what the heck do you use stabilizing arms for in the first place. I'm only getting this tractor and the chosen implements to cure the topography. So that people, ATV, the jeep, can walk and enjoy the forest, without being attacked by bushes and those that called it home.
