    Property line etiquette

    Im not familiar with how Canada handles assesses property, but this is interesting to me. What benefit do they gain by combining parcels? Here in Florida its an entirely optional thing. If you own two pieces of land you can request to have them combined. The only stipulation is that the parcels...

    Property line etiquette

    I would say you will likely have a hard time locating these corners, especially if they are not metal. The longer the boundary run, the harder it is to find the corner, even if you have an exact starting point, and have the proper bearing and distance of the line. I help people fairly often who...

    Newbie L2501 ordered

    You will love it. I have 40 hours on my L2501 - not even 1 year old yet. First thing you should 100% buy is the INNER AIR FILTER. Its about $17 at messicks and is just good insurance. The inner air filter is nixed in the L2501. The airbox is built to take it, so its a 10 second install, but...

    Property line etiquette

    How did they determine these Lat/Lon positions? Id be curious if in your state or area they actually use Lat/Long to mark property corners. Surveyors typically do not use lat/long in surveying. They instead use a PLSS (Public Land Survey System). You can however get Lat/Long coordinates from a...

    Property line etiquette

    This topic touches squarely in my line of work. I am a certified appraiser in florida and work for the government here. I am also a GIS mapping technician and have worked in cadastral mapping for 15 years now. The question you ask here is one I encounter on a near daily basis in my work. The...

    L2501, wrong one delivered?

    This doesnt even follow Kubota's model naming conventions. What is up with this? Did someone print the wrong thing and put on the tractor and put the wrong stickers on the hood? lol This tractor and the current L2501 look nothing alike at all. It is an entirely different tractor.

    Photo shoot anything lately? Random Photo Thread

    Conropl thank you so much for going into all the juicy details. You cant share enough for me. Im not sure if you saw my previous post but I was heavily into photography at one point and ran a photography community site so I used to spend hours a day in these types of discussions and sharing data...

    Political threads and posts

    Thats why I said I totally understand your position as a moderator. Ive been there myself managing a large community like this. It became a full time job (which is why I eventually burnt out and closed it all down) I sympathize with your position here. I think my position is just I hate to see...

    Political threads and posts

    I'm still new to the site, but it is sad to see a rule like this on the forum. I fully understand NIW's position however, so I do not blame him. I would personally prefer to allow all topics in off topic so long as it remained respectful. Back when I ran my photography website, I too had off...

    Photo shoot anything lately? Random Photo Thread

    Conropl, you have some good shots you've posted here. I can tell from the few shots you have shared that you are experienced and have studied photography. Your shots show great clarity and sharpness, great composition (Rule of thirds usage, great eye level shots here with the owl etc) I note on...

    10 hr. Service for L3901

    If you're like me, and you only really use grease for this one tractor, then invest in a good high quality synthetic grease. A good tube will be about $13 to $15 but if you're just doing this one tractor every 10 hours it will last a while.

    Photo shoot anything lately? Random Photo Thread

    While film still has some die hards, the vast majority of the scene is all digital now, and has been for many years. Even the few I knew who still liked shooting film done most of their professional work with digital cameras. With digital of course comes all the post processing capability and...

    Photo shoot anything lately? Random Photo Thread

    Yea. The motivation for me was capturing the beauty of nature and wildlife - which was my specialty. Capturing the perfect photo was like painting on a canvas. I would often spend hours in the same spot waiting for the right light, and shooting the same area under different weather and lighting...

    Photo shoot anything lately? Random Photo Thread

    This thread makes me a little sad. Back between 2008 and 2012 I was very heavily into photography. I ran a photography community website, similar to this forum and site, but all centered around camera's, equipment, editing, composition, and techniques. I ran that site for 2 or 3 years out of my...

    Strongest pulling configuration

    Id take a chainsaw to that and be done with it. Or just burn it out right there. Also for pulling weight thats really too much for the tractor I would pull from the back of the tractor, not the bucket. Based on the one picture though, that stump is too much for that little BX. (Looks like a bx...

    Upgrade Forum to Current Version

    Wow, really surprised to see this simple suggestion devolve into bickering. I didn't see one bit of issue with NHS's suggestion, or how he worded it. It was completely benign suggestion and some have clearly taken offence at it. This is often a natural response though for folks when they dont...

    Upgrade Forum to Current Version

    Being a younger member (in my 30's) and being part of my job title is in IT, I would also 2nd the motion that upgrading would be a good thing. While the site does also work fine for me, I know that if you dont upgrade something will com along and eventually make this place obsolete. Kubota...

    L2501 Hydraulics - How far is too far?

    You are of course 100% correct. That is the bare knuckles truth. I was more making a generalization as PSI seems, at least in all my reading, to almost always correlate with an increase in hydraulic pump flow. The higher the GPM of the tractor, the higher the lift capacity and thus the higher...

    L2501 Hydraulics - How far is too far?

    The 2650 lifts more because it has a slightly higher pump flow. Not a lot but just a tad more. It also technically has 1.2 horsepower more engine than the L2501 in gross engine power on the spec sheet. This puts it just a hair above the L2501 in lift capacities and PTO horsepower on the spec...

    Price? L2501

    You arent likely to get a Kubota with a backhoe and front bucket and all for under $20k unless you go with a much smaller tractor maybe. My step dad bought a new tractor just before I got my L2501 back in May. He wanted the back hoe and everything - but went away from Kubota because they were...
