    New Kubota or Kioti

    I am a fan of Japan made stuff. Not so much a fan of Kia which is Korean. I have owned 3 Kia automobiles, two of which were brand new models in the last 7 years, and all were complete and total JUNK. Spent 50K on a Kia SUV in 2023 to have nothing but problems with it until it was totaled two...

    New Kubota or Kioti

    Well fellers, I didn't just come to this opinion without my own research. When I was new tractor shopping I read forums, I talked to mechanics at independent shops that worked on all brands of tractors, and gathered as much DATA I could so I could make an educated decision. What I kept hearting...

    New Kubota or Kioti

    To me, buying these Korean tractors is similar to wanting a side by side and going to Honda and Kawasaki looking at their offerings and then buying the much cheaper model sitting on the sidewalk outside the local farm store. Who knows how long you'll get parts and service for those models. I...

    Covid's Back

    It is back with a vengeance and running rampant everywhere right now. Unfortunately for me, I work for a School of Medicine which my building is attached to the hospital. I am constantly going between these buildings and my faculty work in the hospital and then come teach in my building.. Seems...

    you’re the guy who I trust when it comes to this stuff. Are you saying I couldn’t replace my 2 spool with a 3 spool and have it operate all 3 spools, two for rear and one for grapple? My setup operates the top link and grapple so well the way it is. My thought was if I ever wanted to add tilt...

    Diverter

    i will have to completely disagree. I couldn’t even imagine reaching forward to the loader stick to adjust my top link. When operating the top link, I am constantly looking backwards watching what I am doing. concerning the grapple, there is maybe 6” between the loader control and my valve stick...

    Im new

    Having used both R4’s and R14’s I much prefer the R14’s and my tractor spends the majority of time in the woods. There are some people saying that the R4’s are 6 ply and the R14’s are 4 ply but that isn’t true. The R14’s on my 2502 are 6 ply so just as stout as the R4’s. And the R4’s will wreak...

    You could buy this valve, you would also need the PB plug as well. After that, you just need the hoses and fittings. This is what I did for my 2502. You could also buy a 3 spool valve and use one of the spools to run your 3rd function. I used a two spool valve and ran one to the front for my...

    Im new

    I have the 2502 and I love it. I don't think I could have picked a better tractor my needs and my 20 acres. It does everything I want and then some. I do regret not buying the backhoe with it though. I had the cash set aside for the backhoe and used it on a new Honda Rubicon ATV that barely ever...

    Wheel Spacers…a Follow Up

    I can certainly appreciate your need for them and the value that's added to your safety. I have considered them as well and they aren't off the table just yet....

    Wheel Spacers…a Follow Up

    That is definitely quite the difference! I have contemplated putting some on my L2502 considering the crazy crap I do on it but I have to admit, I am worried about busting an axle.

    Attaching and wiring LED Bar to ROPS (and work light)

    An extension cord is a great way to run to the nck of the tractor that is cheap and also gives the wiring some protection. And magnetic mounts work great for mounting lights...

    Burn barrel fun....................Just fell in love with some new angle grinder disks.

    About 2-3 years ago, the company would mail you one for free to try and see if you liked them.

    What models should I be looking for?

    2501's are pretty dang cheap on the used market.

    Printer Recommendations

    I tend to follow the buy once cry once mentality. Inkjet printers really only have a place where they are used daily, as they will dry up when they aren't. Laser printers use a dry toner and do not have this problem. They can sit unused for long periods of time and will print as good as they did...

    Educate me on how to pick a grapple

    The first thing I noticed is he is using the older style grapple. The new HSI Pinnacle grapple has a MUCH beefier cross bar in it now.

    Educate me on how to pick a grapple

    I looked hard at the Catawba before I ordered the HSI Pinnacle grapple. After reviewing the specs of each in great detail, I chose the Pinnacle as it was a little heavier built IMO. The Pinnacle and the Catawba weigh almost the same with the Catawba having that "extra" center hinge. I think the...

    R-4 and R-14 tractor tires

    I have R14's on my Kubota and love them. My brother has R4's on his John Deere and swears he's converting to R14's as soon as those wear out...
