After purchasing my L2501 I decided to dig a wildlife watering hole. The project has already become a wildlife magnet. I enjoyed seeing this 2 1/2? year old checking out the camera and watering hole while on the hunt for true love. :) Note: the time stamp as far as the date is correct but the...

I had very dense Scot pines in the 3 to 6 inch range on my 56 acres when purchased. I converted 28 of them to open oak/savanna prairie. The initial removal of the Scots was handled by a contractor that has a tracked skid steer and Fecon forestry mulching head. What is nice about forestry...

like many , I purchased a L2501 to avoid the complexity and cost associated with DPF and the necessary components that go along with it. My tractor sits down at my land a fair distance from the dealer and as of yet I do not have a tow rig big enough. The tractor also did not break the bank...

After purchasing my 56 acres four years back I discovered rather quickly I have a population of fishers. A extremely interesting fur bearer that was almost hunted and trapped into extinction. Trapping permits are available now in central Wisconsin for fishers. Perhaps one day but for now I hope...

No parts needed for my L2501 yet but I purchased B7100 parts from Messicks. The parts department was very helpful when I plumbed hydraulics for a front mount snowblower.

Nice tractor and post! The first winter that I had my B7100 and back blade I was cleaning up snow around the walk out basement doors and "hooked" my never freeze hose bib with the corner of the blade. Like it never existed ,lol, popped that puppy off in a wink.

I have close to 50 hours of running time on my L2501 and judging by your video's yours sounds exactly as mine does.

Thanks for the suggestions , ideas and pictures!

I had pretty good luck using “finials“in my search. i did not look thru this companies complete catalog but did notice these cast iron pine cone finials. Good luck with your search!

From looking at the spec sheets and tractors on the lot when I was in the purchasing phase of buying a L2501 I think the L2501 , L3301 and the L3901 come closest to being the same frame , front and rear axles etc. There is a very slight difference in 3 pt lift capacity, hydraulic pressure etc...

I plan on fabricating the safety blocks for the loader lift rams and would appreciate ideas, thoughts or pictures from others that have made these. I am not sure of the proper nomenclature so apologize in advance if I have it wrong. Is just one adequate or is a pair , both sides, the only way...

Transported the L2501 back to my house from my land. Its ready for the 50 hour maintenance , a good cleaning from being down at the land and some much needed tweaks on my seat lift. This might be a good time for a quick 50 hour review. I will start with a few negatives that I knew going in...

First time making venison Jerky at home. Marinated about 16 hours. If nothing else it sure does smell good!

I believe that is a adjustable "stop" bolt for the pedal. You can also see the stop bolt for the rear travel of the pedal.

And can be a challenge to remove on a B7100 HST, especially that one #$%@ nut and washer.

Mine springs back to more or less a Idle position. When I start from a cold tractor I bump up the throttle slightly from the Idle position. Mine is a late model (1997) HST

The fuel tank on my late model (1997) B7100 has yellowed to the point it’s almost impossible to see the fuel level. The sunlight has to be just right. I have put enough time on the hour meter to get a good feel for how much remains but I am overly cautious not to run low. I think I remember...

13k not being a option at the time I waited till I had the L2501 and dug a small wildlife pond in my 100 yard rifle range area. I used some of the excavated soil to build up my backstop berm. Even though I have not trucked in clay yet for a liner I have enough standing water for a while that I...

Last summer I had a local excavating company that also does some pond work give me a estimate for a much smaller pond on my land. Roughly 75 foot long and 35 foot wide. My soil is loamy sand. The estimate was 13k with either trucked in clay liner or synthetic liner, my choice. The excavated...

Could not agree more Bill! :)
