I was aware of the 26HP cut off for emission standard requirments. I was aware for example when shopping for my new tractor that all the L series tractors above the 2501 had the DPF systems. I guess I didn't realize the fuel delivery system was also part of that design decision. The L2501 really...

Yea I was aware of the L2501 being different than the 3301, 3901, etc. The L2501 uses a low pressure fuel delivery system I believe while the L models beyond it use the high pressure rail system. I've read a little about the differences between the two systems. This may not be the place or time...

my new tractor came with it on there - little rubber cover, and its all greased inside. Havent even used the PTO yet on the tractor. I do plan to use the cover anytime its not in use because it makes zero sense to not use it. Its the same situation with my stihl kombi system attachments - they...

Ok so thats how the filter closes off. I was really curious about that, as there is no valve or switch on the 2501 like there is on the 3301. The manual mentions something about the valve closing when filter is removed but I didnt understand how that worked. I think your explanation helps me...

So from following this - Seems changing the fuel filter on my L2501 may be annoying. If this is an issue with air getting in the lines, then how would you prevent that if you were to do a simple fuel filter clean/replace? Again Im following this thread as a new tractor owner who plans to do all...

Very informative. Perhaps that was the case. All 4 bolts on that hub show the same signs of being torqued after painted. Im hoping that the little lubricant I saw around the edges was just from install or something. Im going to just keep my eye on it. It would be wierd for the O ring to be...

Re: First day on my kubota Many of the questions you are asking regarding engaging PTO and when to Grease are ALL in the owners manual for the L3301. I would suggest you take some time and really go through the owners manual. You will learn a lot about your machine when you've finished reading...

Its funny I happened across this thread the other day, just browsing the forums. Then this weekend, I noticed a similar type of situation as the picture posted above on my right front axle hub. My tractor is brand spanking new though about 9 hours on it now, and its an L2501. When I noticed it...

Many have already suggested what I was going to suggest as a 4th option - To hire out the work. I am with the others in suggesting Option 1 or the 'new' option 4. Id personally go with option 1 because a good heavy duty brush cutter and a grapple can do a lot of work. If you need to clear full...

I'm a new tractor owner as well. L2501 HST. Everything I have read, and Ive been reading a lot, has consistently suggested that when operating a mower or something on PTO, that your risk of "damaging something" would be higher trying to run the mower at a lower rpm rather than a higher one. A...

I agree. I thought about that myself when I got my 2501. The uses for the brake pedal are extremely few imo. Even in High gear and running at 12mph, which is the top speed on my tractor, just taking your foot off the HST pedal stops the tractor almost instantly. The only real use for the brake...

Im a young man and new tractor owner. Got a new L2501 just weeks ago, not even 8 hours on it yet. I made this mistake on like day 2 of owning the machine. Whats worse is I actually heard the extra whining from the HST and thought to msyelf "God this thing seems too noisy..." Thankfully I only...

Im a brand new L2501 owner (7.8hours on machine) and will be following this thread closely for educational purposes. I want to encourage those affected to report back with your updates and certainly if you find the culprit for your issues as it would be very beneficial to those of us who also...

Yea, unfortunately, mine is not just sticky. You can not move the lever to locked position without striking the pin itself with a hammer, which requires the whole plastic cover to be off. With the cover on you can not fully lock the loader. It is a clear hit when it stops, and no amount of...

I hear you. I just know that for my particular case, I may not even hit 50 hours on it this calendar year, so if breaking in a tractor is a real thing, I could speed that up. Id like to do anything thats worth while that will allow me many many years of use from my new investment. I hope it 20...

Maybe thats how it passed QA. No one uses it so thy didnt even think to test it! lol

Glad I stumbled on this thread this morning. I've got a brand new L2501 (7.8 hours on it) and had never heard of "breaking in" a tractor. Ive done a couple heavy loader lifting jobs in the first 7 hours and then done some box blade work in a horse pen and on driveways. Ill try to take it easy...

Brand new L2501 owner here. Machine has just 8 hours on it right now. Ive encountered only 1 issue so far that Ive noticed that I consider a factory or manufacturer fault, and thankfully its mostly a non issue I think - The loader valve lock. Picture is attached of the valve lock. Once I got the...

I was recently looking for a diesel additive myself for my new L2501. I did a lot of reading and trying to find the best option. There are a lot of options on the market, and seems many of them are very good. One product that continually was highly recommended across multiple sources, and the...

Hey rkidd, thanks for that info. Good to hear another endorsement of the Stanadyne product. In the reading I did it seemed to be one of the best for sure. I was perplexed at first because there are so many options on the market. Hopefully it serves me well. I just worry about fuel sitting in the...
