History Channel is doing a 3 night special starting Memorial Day on Ulysses S. Grant. Ron Chernow is an executive producer, and it will be based on his best selling biography from 2017. Anyone else excited about checking this out? Anyone read this book? I'm a huge history buff. I've read a lot...

I think BigG is more so just referring to the rising leftist culture. It was actually a thing among many leftist college kids - that a man holding a door for a woman is sexist. These leftist want to challenge what they see as the "Patriarchal hierarchy" In their view, by you holding a door for a...

You must be an extrovert. I am severely introverted by contrast. I would never flirt with a woman in public or make such a comment. Not because I feel you shouldn't do so, but just because of my introversion - it feels intrusive to me. I believe in respecting everyone, and being courteous. I...

I think it would all depend on how stuck the truck was, but I feel like my L2501 would pull a F250 out of some stuck mud just fine. Id love to test it honestly, but I feel, based on my year of using the tractor, that it would pull a truck out of some rough spots. I have no doubt at all it would...

Well I don't group no mask wearing with the buggy issue. I consider myself a very considerate person. I am not wearing a mask anywhere I have been going. I am a very quite, introverted, reserved person, so I dont go near people, but I am not wearing a mask everywhere I go. Mainly because I feel...

You are in a similar situation I was in last year at this exact same time, when I bought my first tractor. I have 13 acres. About 5 of those acres are open/clear/yard areas that are in grass. The other 8 or so acres is woods. I dont do much in the wooded 8 acres aside from cut a little firewood...

Thanks for the kind words. I used .030 flux cored wire for mine and it worked just fine. If you are new to welding like I was, I would cut a piece of the expanded metal off to practice with for a little bit. As D2cat says the main thing to watch for is burning through the expanded metal and...

I fabricated a front grill guard for my L2501 not long after buying it, and after having 2 small punctures through the plastic grill. I had never welded in my life. I went out and bought the welder, just a cheap 100amp welder and a basic helmet. I practiced for a few minutes on some scrap metal...

How true this is. Ive often observed people in parking lots. I think you can tell a lot about a persons character by how they handle this exact scenario. Its a pet peeve of mine to see people just leave a buggy (we don't call them carts here :P) in the middle of a parking spot, totally...

Ive been following this thread with some interest. In the first 50 hours of my tractor, which is only just passed, I never ran the tractor at full RPM, not even once hardly, as the manual states not to do so during the break in period. The L2501 maxes out at what 2400rpm or so. The 540PTO is at...

Im with roadworthy and others here. This sounds like normal operation. Is it possible your tractor has always done this and you just havent noticed? The only thing that does seem a little odd is this constant clicking noise you mention in the on position. The lights staying on sounds normal - My...

Re: Kubota Extended Warrenty - worth it? I was going to engage in this discussion on extended warranties then I saw this post. Now I'm just baffled. HOW in the world did you manage all this damage in under 200 hours? I would 100% honestly like to know. How do you break a hydraulic cylinder...

He is correct that it doesnt come on the L2501. It is left off in this model. The air box is built to take it however - kubota just elects not to install it in the L2501. Typically inner filters are more for ag tractors that see lots of long hour use and in dusty fields. BUT, there is no reason...

Since youre going to be pulling a mower a lot, I would look at upgrading the stabalizer arms. The L2501 comes with cheaper turnbuckles, with only a single nut on one side. I got my 2501 last year and these turnbuckles using my disc harrow will never stay where you put them. You have to get a...

Saw this thread on tractorbyte, maybe it is of some use to you https://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/kubota-owning-operating/281009-l5740-loader-control.html

I did say It was bit OCD :D Its something Ive just always done, while the drain pan is there and its all opened up, Pour a little fresh oil in and watch it come out. I'm not talking a gallon or anything, just a half a quart or so. I've done this with all my lawn mowers, my 4 wheeler, now...

Interesting. I was expecting to be able to just ratchet this bar by hand and watch it slowly come back. That didn't happen. I heaved on the handle until I felt it was going to bend. The tractor started to lurch forward with each heave. The strap was so tight it sounded like a banjo string when...

NIW's suggestion may have very well worked - but to me it sounded more risky. I think he was saying to put a 4x4 between the small bent bar, and the larget bar just behind it, then roll the bucket back, wedging the 4x4 between the two bars, and use that as the force to bend the bar back. I didnt...

Re: Too Much Hydraulic Fluid Yes I will always stress this now to new owners. That sight glass is super super sensitive. You will zoom right past it with just 1 quart. You have to put in about 4 gallons then really start watching the glass closely. It helps to have 2 people, one pouring slowly...

If it was me and my tractor, I would Buy a new oil filter as well, and a little extra oil than what I needed. I would drain the oil thoroughly. I would then put a little diesel oil in , still leaving the old filter on, and let it set a minute then drain that oil as well, just to help further...
