Been awhile since I've done much with my l2501.. now at 104 hours.. Today I forked this stupid pointy poky palm thing that I hate that cut me a few times. was very hard to clear weeds around it, and mow near it as it stuck out 3 feet.. got me for the last time yesterday when I mowed.. So I...

You should test drive a l2501 hst before you buy the manual trans...especially for loader work.. ive had alot of gear shift tractors and useing a clutch while digging, or useing pallet forks to load a truck etc is so much nicer with the hst.. As also mentioned if your useing the rear pto...

All of my buddies that use to run bobcat have switched to Takeuchi, or kubota.. kubota seems to have piss poor serviceability on some cases but are great as long as the emissions and bracket that holds the emissions don't break.. that and dreaded funnel into the engine compartment / bottom...

All I'm going to say is bobcat uses kubota engines in there skid steers for a reason..

I was just unloading 20 foot long metal roof peices off a trailer for my neighbor, about 500 pounds and had to have 3 guys stand on the back 3 point as the l2501 was lifting the back wheels off the ground, with 500 pounds on the forks at about 3 feet high.. No way you can pick up 1500 pounds...

Onan moving day.. took all my parts machines and a few of the gasoline generators I don't plan to use and the l2501 gave them a lift to my 20 foot container. The one cart with the onan jb generator, spare onan cck engine and 8 or so onan j series cylinder heads has gotta weigh close to 1000...

Used the l2501 to remove the light tower part off my 6kw kubota powered generator.

My local dealer costs more then messicks with shipping... that and I've waited at the counter for 45 min a few times for them to fill up 5 gallons of oil.. no thanks.. I got the gear case installed on the mower and mowed for about an hour and no leaks! Woohoo! Was pretty easy to do.. took a...

Majority of new briggs engines are now made in china! Kawasaki engines are usually great, although I'd stay away from the fuel injection on them.and the kohler engines, work great till they dont.. I have a scag zero turn with a Kawasaki engine (60 hours), craftsman with a vowing kohler( 130...

Got the parts today from messicks that I ordered on the 13th.. love that place! They had everything i needed in stock! Ordered 2 extra oil seals just to have incase.. I put the gear box all back together with all new oil seals bearings and spacer Washers and installed the seals and bearings...

Out of the 2 I would pick the g 5200 being its diesel and is about as good as a garden tractor can be.. the other one I don't have any experience with, but probably a better machine then anything ayp makes with is what most big box store mowers are with different names, but still has the typical...

Yes I goofed.. and owned up to it.

Nope.. did not do to bad.. for no traffic driving.. wouldn't want to tow that on major streets tho.. thats not a long term vehicle...bought it till toyota comes out with a diesel.. or I find a way to get a right hand drive tacoma diesel imported, or slap a kubota turbo diesel in a tacoma?

Unless your a wizard and can do magic is that true.. the blade shaft only comes out from the top of the gearcase.. I'll take a few pictures of it later to show it Edit.. ok your right.. opps. My first time taking one of these apart..

Unless he has the sub frame that attaches to the backhoe slim chance most people would buy it, Unless they don't know they need that.. would be surprised if a dealer had that stuff still.. just a thought
