    L2501 stalls at idle

    Replace the fuel filter. Do not go by looks alone. Nor how many hours are on that filter sometimes the filters are bad But look brand new.

    L2501 able to use a F41 sickle bar mower??

    A sickle bar mower is not made to cut slowly. You need to be moving forward fast enough to make the grass drop behind the cutter bar. Otherwise you’ll be on and off the tractor to clean out the cutter as it gets clogged up.

    Trouble using posthole digger New to tractors. L185 and Danuser Digger F-8

This gives you a small amount of movement for the 3 point hitch. They do make PH diggers for smaller tractors but they are $$. I would dig what you can...

    Tires tearing up the lawn, go wider?

    Perhaps you need to adjust the tire pressure which may lessen the damage to the lawn. I have had several different tractors across different lawns without damage unless I spin the tires tryin to scoop up some dirt or the like or pulling out a bush. Low speed and slight curves will help to...

    Moving heavy trailer with BX

    This would keep the weight off the tractor. Use 4x4 low and stay off the slopes. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Tow-Tuff-ATV-Weight-Distributing-Trailer-Dolly-800-lb-Capacity/677321011

    Big Tex trailer

    There is no arch to the trailer. Brand new it was flat. I took it to a welding shop to get a winch mount built on it. When the welder stepped up on the trailer, he started laughing. He said he’s never seen a trailer flex so badly. I was loaded and hit a pothole that broke one spring And bent...

    Big Tex trailer

    I have a Big Tex 14000 gooseneck. It has 350,000 plus miles on it. The flex has been a problem. I have had to replace the springs several times. The equalizers wear unevenly. Bearings do not last very long. And I am on my second set of axles. I will not buy another one. But it is paid for. I...

    Chains

    I know this is comparing apples to oranges, but here goes. As a kid growing up, we had a Wheelhorse with turf tires on it. The turf tires are about worthless in southeastern, Ohio clay. Constantly spinning the tires even When Mowing. My brother bought me a set of tire chains. We put them on and...

    L2501 not starting

    On my L2501 the PTO lever was moving but the lever at the gear box was not. A little bit of Fluid Film sprayed on both ends loosened it all up.
