Same. I rake em up into piles and burn them. Sometimes I'll dump them on top of stumps I want to burn out and burn them. It works good to get rid of stumps. Areas where I dont want to kill my grass with fires I just mow them into powder with the lawn mower. The thought of owning a wood chipper...

for what its worth my L2501 with 52 Hours fires up just as soon as you flip the key to start. Its never had a moment of hesitation.

how many hours on that machine? wonder what is the cause of this. Never seen or heard of this issue but several already in this thread reporting it. Tried to google up some additional cases but cant find anything.

I never considered it as I didnt think the L2501 needed it. This thread makes me wonder now -_-

what are the hours on these L2501's with this problem?

The 2650 is a great little tractor. share some pics :) welcome to the forums.

sounds like a potential good deal! Just look it over good! (no offense to the owner!) But good luck mate!

I use the following in my diesel every fill up: Stanadyne Performance Formula Diesel Fuel Additive for conditioner / cetane booster and Biobor JF for biocide

Well perhaps that is the answer to my question. Was the whole "no galvanized can for diesel" issue back before low sulfur diesel? Perhaps with today's diesel this is no longer an issue. This is what Im trying to find out. Its very likely this is old warnings that are no longer relevant. Was...

Yours has the same damage eh? Well that would suggest it may be a common problem. Ill try to keep an eye on it. Appreciate the picture

Not much. On the spec sheet the two tractors are less than 100lbs weight difference. The 2601 is ever so slightly larger. There is 2 Horsepower difference to the PTO, so a tad more headroom for tillers and rotary cutters on the 2601. They have the same exact hydraulic pump flow, so they will...

Its been touched on here but folks have been glossing over it. These Eagle cans, and Justrite metal cans that are super popular (and highly reviewed most places) are all powder coated galvanized steel cans. I have read that you should never use galvanized metal cans with diesel fuel. Something...

Oh wow. How did that happen I wonder? Looks almost like friction damage, as if something rubbed against it time and time again until it rubbed a hole? Any insight on how this damage occured? Would just like to personally be aware so I can avoid it happening to mine

If you enjoy the subject matter, it is a fantastic book. You will find it hard to put down once you start. Most of my books these days I "read" or "consume" via Audio book. Audio books have allowed me to really step up how fast I can get through a book. Grant for example is about a 45 Hour long...

Could you post a picture of this? As a L2501 owner Id just like to see what youre talking about.

Looks good! My mistake was not using primer before I painted it. I just went straight on with the paint. Where the grill has now been dinged, it tends to scratch the paint off a little, but the expanded metal and the welds have all held up really good. Gives me a lot more peace of mind when I...

I would 2nd that as well. I would not buy a BX tractor. Just too small, too limited. You have more acreage and projects - similar to myself and others. If you are gonna invest in a tractor get something that will do all the work you want it to do, dont cut yourself short. You will regret it in 5...

Aye fuzzydawg. I may one day read Grants memoir's. I typically like to read a 3rd person so that you get perhaps a more balanced view of events. I am familiar with grants memoirs however as they have helped offer historians a lot of information. Chernow, in his book on Grant which I am reading...

https://www.amazon.com/Eagle-UI-50-SY-Safety-Diesel-Capacity/dp/B0030VGYWO/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8 I use the above can. Although, I may change after I do some more research. Ive read in places that diesel shouldnt be stored in galvanized metal cans. So far, I have always went...

Hey Greg and welcome. I think you would love the tractor youre looking at, considering the little JD lawn tractor youve been using - this B 2301 will be a nice upgrade for you. I think after reading your post it really comes down between 2 options in my eyes. Either you go for the 2301 with...
