Have the oil tested. How did they make a nest past the air filter? Also is yours a DT or a GST? Those are different machines.

Additive won’t help if it’s getting so much water in it that it will not move. How did you remedy this last time? Is it stored outside? Open vent tube catching rain water? Is the fluid milky?

It’s really no big deal. I can’t remember how many hours were on my L3800 I bought new. If you were that concerned about it why didn’t you pick it up in person it verify the hours? So much as saying you will never buying from them again is pretty childish. IMO. And comparing it to a demo unit...

I previously had a ZG127 with standard turf tires before I upgraded to a used ZD with R4 rear tires. The turf tires tore up my grass more than the R4’s driving correctly. No issue when it’s dry I just have to be cautious when it’s wet, also due to the extra weight and power of the ZD. What’s...

I would say PTO if the implement is PTO powered. Back in the day you had drawbar HP rating which is pulling power. You can have 100 engine HP but it’s no good if you can’t get it to the ground. Or some manufactures that make a utility sized tractor with 35pto hp and the owners can’t run a...

You won’t be limited by HP for a chipper. I bought a used Wallenstein BX62 beginning of this year for a project clearing a few acres of bamboo. Definitely enough power with my M series. Mine is direct drive(no belts) to the rotor. It helped to have it at 540 PTO or above with the bamboo or...

Something else you mentioned that you never towed equipment before, have you towed a trailer before? Or towed with a box truck? Little to no visibility with a short trailer behind one of those. Do you just have to transport the tractor itself? Any implements? An L series with a FEL on a 16’...

I prefer chains over straps for equipment. But a one time trip/use is different. One issue is the straps may be rated for the load but the abrasion resistance and lack of tie town points on the tractor and implements. I wouldn’t run a ratchet strap over the grill guard or over the 3pt and...

What’s the exact model of your tractor? Is it a shuttle shift or hydraulic shuttle?

About the noise, if you have room make a spot outside your shop for it. Around the same time I upgraded to mine from a small pancake compressor I installed a 50ft hose reel and a quality air chuck. I have a few JACO digital tire inflators.

It’s already been said but you noticed it leaking coolant but continued to run it till it locked up and sent a letter for “customer satisfaction”. There are new people that come here all the time for help/advice then don’t like the advice or facts given to them. Or try to make it seem people...

I have a Dewalt 30 gallon 110v compressor. So far so good. The belt adjustment is a little tricky. I still need a remote tank drain on it for easier access. Was on the fence about a 60 or 80 gallon 220v but glad I went with the smaller 30 gallon 110v for my uses.

Search on Tractorhouse. Just a quick search for tractors with a FEL under 12k pulls up almost 700 to pick from.

I’ll ad on your L2501 with R4’s good chance the rear tires cannot be adjusted with the rims. They can be adjusted with wheel spacers. Is there a way you could rent a box blade or land plane? Or if your neighbor has one let him show you how to use it on your driveway. Offer to pay him for time...

Edit. Looked at the wrong sub model. Some have found Donaldson brand it good but not sure about the price on those.
