thanks everyone!! I ended up bringing the tractor down to my grandmothers and reclaiming her driveway after a recent storm washed it out. She can't afford to have it fixed so I did the best I could with what I had. It looks like a new again, tried the crown it but there isn't enough material...

I did some driveway work, the sides really needed to be scraped down to create a crown. I spread out the 22 yards of driveway mix I got delivered. The box blade worked incredibly well. all the sod I scraped out with the box blade now there’s a good crown going on. I first started by...

I have a ballast box that is 640 pounds of concrete. Works wonderfully. But I just recently bought a box blade is around 550 pounds which also works fine too. The weird thing is that with the weight of the box blade, I feel like the tractor is more stable even though its more lighter than the...

I've had a weight box that I filled with concrete that's nearly 700 pounds. That works good too but honestly with this box blade, I don't think I'll need it.

I just use it as a guide when I’m changing the angle and tilt. I can mostly put it in the same spot by using the level. I don’t know, it’s handy for me instead of guessing. I know some make marks on the top and side links.

Did some more work with the tractor today. I pretty much got my driveway all squared away for now. Going to be getting a delivery of some driveway mix soon. Gave the tractor a good workout this weekend. Although was it really a workout for this machine? Nah. The box blade is freaking...

Finally, a day off from work!! Managed to put the box blade to work today and finally get some grading done that I started last summer finished. Man I have no complaints about the L2501. It's been insanely reliable. It was nearly 100 degrees today and the temperature needle just stayed in...

Haa ya. I didn’t have my bucket on, too lazy 😂 But I made a mistake by doing a section of the driveway as a test and then I was having too much fun and went further so the section where I was stopping was compacted by the tractor which probably why I had waves instead of doing one continuous...

That’s what I did, except I made waves 🤣 it’s okay, it’s part of practicing. I will get better at it.

Well I walked in thinking I was going to buy the BB1266 and I saw a used Kioti BB2066 on the lot. Well managed to get it for just over a grand. I had them load it into my Nissian Frontier 🤣 Man this is one rugged blade. Extremely durable, probably more than the LP1566. This thing weighs...

Guys, I can’t decide between the BB1266 and BB1566. The 12 was $1171 and the 15 was $1635. Plus tax of course. I’m just trying to regrade my driveway which is a hard sta-mat but doesn’t take much the rip it up either. I dont know if my L2501 will bend the 1266 or if it’s 370 pounds of weight...

The dealership mentioned they should have drained the gas that was in there for a year haha. I always fill the tank up with fresh gas and used Stabil for winter storage. Never had a problem. So it’s possible it wasent my gas. Either way, glad to have the mower back.

it runs fine on regular gas. Just had bad gas for whatever reason. I will see if it happens again, it’s very costly to go an hour out of my way for non ethanol.

Well she is back home. Mowed the lawn, twice and had zero issues. So it really was just bad gas. I mean it's a relief. Glad that's all what it was and nothing bad. My back lawn was over 12" tall and it mowed through like nothing. My old lawn mower would have stalled.

Well guys, I got good news. The lawn mower is on its way back. They couldn't find anything wrong. It was simply bad gas. They did ran seafoam through it just in case. But they drained the fuel and put different gas in it and it ran perfectly fine and stopped bogging down. It's weird. Same...
