Just don’t let anyone hold your beer😁

Not sure about a 2501, but the max weight the 3301 is listed to pull (by drawbar) is 2200#s with a max tongue of 730#. Even more important to consider is how you’ll get it stopped, especially if headed down any kind of grade.

I use the Titan and it’s just fine for my use to reposition empty trailers, for the most part. The draw bar is always the safest, though, as with the 3-pt adapter, there really isn’t anything keeping that hitch ball ‘down’ except the tongue weight itself—pretty dangerous potentially.

You’re spot on here, Dan. My 3301 came to me from the dealer with a FEL and BH77. The tractor’s main hydraulic block ‘out’ fed the FEL. Then the FEL’s PB port fed the BH77 (as it came to me). I ordered in all the kits from Kubota and the Kubota directions themselves for adding the Rear Remotes...

Working in my rock garden with my lawn ornament.🤣

In my use of the BH77, I typically have on my FEL bucket (instead of the grapple), so that negates use/need of the 3rd function valve. And anytime the BH77 is going on, I’m taking off my 3-pt hardware and cylinders (which means I’m not using my 3-rear remotes—no hydraulic thumb), so nothing...

I have the same configuration but in a 3301 and it works flawlessly. There’s verbiage in the BH77 manual (p7 of the document/p17 of the pdf) that discusses how to prevent damage to the backhoe valve if these other options are also on the tractor.

Pretty cramped for me sitting in that backhoe seat even with nothing on the inside of the ROPs currently. Either my elbows or legs would likely be hitting something if inside the ROPs.

Very tidy, but you should still be allowed to go to the end of your chain and bark a bit, no matter what. :D

Just speculating that the real reason he didn’t want to quote it really had more to do with the Backhoe option itself causing any ‘Top-n-Tilt’ option (at least from Kubota, anyway) to then be unavailable in his order configurator (these would be the cylinders to go along with the Rear Remote...

I agree—no doubt you’re looking at a minimum 10K trailer. I went with a 14K in case I moved up in size at some point. And the longer, the better—my bug hog tail wheel hangs off the back of my 20’ when I have it in the right spot for tongue weight %. More flexibility to position stuff as needed...

Initially I had a 7x16 dump trailer for my L3301 but didn’t like the steep (and slick when wet) approach, especially with my backhoe on, so eventually got a smaller (dedicated) 10’ dump and for hauling the tractor, got a 20’ gravity tilt equipment trailer (7’ wide)—more than enough for my...

Brings to mind an old Rodney Dangerfield joke when as a baby, his mother wouldn’t breast feed him, ‘she only wanted to be friends’ (I tell ya, I tell ya)

Can measure the before and after of the wheel well heights above the tires to check for squat, and can also get a hitch with a tongue-weight scale built-in—somewhat pricey but worth it if you have a lot of combinations and trailering to do. This was on a trailer and l3301 with a box blade and...

Have you got Ag tires on R4s or R14s? Plenty of power and weight with the 2501 but you’ll at times wish you had the R1 Ag tires if you go too heavy with whatever you do get. Have a look at your manual since it will give you recommendations on sizing implements for the 2501.

I got rid of my beloved 2019 Chevy 2500 Duramax for the sole reason of its implementation of those DPF routines. That said, a 2501 on my hills trying to run my brush hog wouldn’t cut it, literally 😉 I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the 3301 or 3901 because of their DPFs, though—night and day...

On my 3301 with a backhoe, the backhoe (and its dedicated set of valves) simply is ‘inline’ (between the Rear Remote’s PB and the Hydraulic block of the tractor). Inside the right fender is the place that Kubota mounts a valve stack—in your case it would be one remote valve and a block with a...
