Im trying to get some solid information on the limitations of what you can run from the extra electrical plug under the left rear fender of my L2501. Ive been looking at lights for my rops, and just trying to determine where the limit is. I put my multi meter in it the other day just for the...

Yea nice video, nice looking machine. I bought my tractor back in May and I looked REALLY hard at the B2650. I was deciding between the L2501 and the B2650. The B2650 had a lot nicer dash, with the digital display, the nice floorboard, all the other comfort features. Ultimately I went with the...

Yep just as I mentioned in my last thread - this is why I would never deal with this dealer again. Just the way they handled the communication on the 3rd function delays suggested already to me they are a bit careless regarding the customer. Anytime I sense that a business isn't customer first...

I wonder about this too. The oil in mine is dark colored - much darker than i'm used to seeing. Im not a mechanic so Im not sure what that suggests. This is why Ive felt like changing the oil now. Id just feel better with a good high quality oil in there. I may do it a little before 50 hours...

Many here are focusing on the safety aspect of this, which is good, but Im more curious about the "leaving a diesel idle for short periods between chores" part of your post. What have you read? This is something I've often thought about as I tend to idle my tractor when I need to get off for a...

well with this thread in mind, I decided this weekend to stay in 2wd until I hit something I just couldnt do without 4wd. While I did lighter work this weekend, this was the first time I never went to 4wd while on my tractor. I used my harrow in my horse pen, which is really loose dirt and...

I got to thinking this past weekend about my 50 hour maintenance, which I plan to do myself on my L2501. I got this tractor in the first week of May this year, so Ive had it almost 7 months now. I do not check my oil level every single time I use the tractor like I think the manual suggests. I...

I dont think I would do any further business with this dealer. Wow. I realize the 3rd function valve delay is likely entirely out of their control, but It tells me a lot in how people deal with, and manage, situations. The real cherry on top though is the sloppy 50 hour maintenance to me. Id go...

Well I may not qualify to answer this question given I just have a little L2501, and hardly anyone buys a 2wd L2501. I have never even seen one at the dealers around here. However, I know a lot of farmers here and 4wd is always preferred on a tractor. Why? power, quit simply. Nothing sucks worse...

I agree, I think wolfman has a legit reason to run 4x4 most all the time. I live in Florida - everything here is flat. I can likely cut back on my 4x4 usage and Im going to try to make a conscious effort to do that now. Its just so easy to throw it in 4x4 and forget it when working.

thanks for the positive words all, appreciate it. The welds are a little sloppy if you focus on them. I figured out a better approach as I was doing it. Initially I kept burning through the expanded metal. I was sitting on each point too long so I tried some different things and got much better...

well I dont have to. It only just touches the expanded metal once it hits fully open. I measured it to know exactly where the lowest point was I could weld. It pushes just a tad on the metal when fully open. no biggie.Thanks :)

Well I just read your reply D2cat and its too late lol. I did the job this morning. Turned out ok I think. Feels solid. will have to see how it holds up though. I only removed the paint on the thin outside rim to make the weld. EDIT: Forgot to add, the main thing I dont like about this is it...

thanks so much guys for the pictures. Ive studied them all for ideas. Also thanks for the encouragement. I picked up all the supplies tonight, along with several odd pieces of steel. Illl be getting up in the morning to do this project. I need to practice a little with the welder and get a feel...

Well this is kind of how I have always felt regarding 4wd, Even on my ATV. On hard surfaces like asphalt, concrete, etc, you should never run 4wd. I took that basic understanding to my new tractor and thought that out on my property, and at such slow speeds, 4wd wouldnt hurt it at all. But I am...

That looks nice D2cat thanks for the inspiration. Currently I am hardly using my bucket though, All my current work is done using a big root rake on the front. It has long curved teeth on the bottom that dig well and scoop up big logs. works well for pushing and stacking tree tops for burning...

I saved your picture and zoomed in really tight. It is welded to the rim for sure, and then to the top bar they added. You said you cut the bottom bar so Im assuming it has been removed and is not providing any support on the bottom. I also assume there is nothing welded in the middle. I may be...

Oh I see. It appears that it is welded along the thin rim of the grill, which faces toward the bucket, is that correct? Or is it welded just on the inside of the grill rim plates? Also, it appears you have used 13 gauge metal here can you confirm? I need to figure out how to weld this, as the...

Thanks for that Bmyers! It looks like you added a little bar across the bottom to weld to, am I seeing that correct? Id love to see a more up close picture of how you welded yours. Im trying to decide how I want to approach the weld. Weither I should sit it inside the front a little so it kinda...

Ok im ressurecting my thread here from a couple months ago because Im finally doing something about this issue tomorrow. This past weekend I once again poked the front grill of m ytractor, again a tiny tear on the plastic guard that is largely unoticable, but that was the final straw. I had been...
