    What size snow pusher for L2501?

    I have both a 5’ and 6’ wide snow pusher. I use the 5’ wide on my L3901 and 6’ wide on my larger MX 5800. I think you will be much happier with a 5’ on your L2501. Both of mine are from Express Steel, you can buy direct or through eBay. They are well made with a rubber edge. Snow pushing is my...

    Best cold weather bib overalls?

    Carhartt quilt lined bibs & jacket, also think about what you wear underneath, I find a few light layers help too and keep the bulk down. Congrats on the 74.

    Hydraulic Fluid Dye

    I don't use dye but just have someone watch the sight glass as I add UDT2 when changing hydraulic fluid or filters, if you add fluid at a reasonable rate the person watching the sight glass will clearly see the fluid and help you get the right level. I tried it on my own the first time and...

    Should I Change all fluids?

    I agree with Henro, it's pretty basic stuff to change all of your fluids just follow the directions in the operators manual. I would change all of the fluids and filters so you have a good starting base line for the tractor going forward. Remember to change the front axle fluid too. Good luck...

    What to get a grapple. What type?

    I run a heavy root grapple on my MX5800 and a track loader. I've often thought about a lighter grapple for my L3901 and looked at Everything Attachments 55" Wicked Root Grapple, it's well reviewed and is light leaving your loader with a lot of lifting capacity, this is important on smaller...

    snow pusher size for a b7100?

    I use a 5’ on my L3901 and 6’ on my MX5800, based on the data for your tractor I would think a 4’ width would be more suited, data I found suggests your track width to be 40” so 4’ wide pusher will work well. Both of mine are from Express Steel Inc, nice heavy duty units with serviceable skids...

    Buying Used (almost new) Kubota BX1880. Need advice.

    I'm with armylifer on this and would suggest that you only buy the tractor with a FEL included (even if it is a new unit from the dealer). You have already stated that you want a FEL, now is the time to negotiate it in the deal and not incur additional "fitting fees etc." later. Then you will...

    Tiller slip clutch question

    Most important thing is you are taking the time to adjust the clutch. I had an old woods heavy duty brush cutter with slip clutch and let it go for several years without adjustment, my son was mowing a clearing and went off in the rough with it, the slip clutch did not do what it should have and...

    Quick Hitch Mod

    Chin, Thanks for that clarification. Things get more confusing as you move into receiver apature sizing, again I always fit a 2” hitch on a car or SUV regardless of towing capacity, it’s about just having a common size for convenience. I do make sure I understand the towing vehicles capacity. I...

    New here Forks question

    Danmorea, Those forks look ideal for your loader, width adjustable and with a headache rack, you will amazed at just how much you use them. I recommend a couple of 6' straps, 2" wide (harbor freight or amazon) and a couple of heavy clevis shackles 3/4 / 7/8" pin, they will help you lift any...

    New here Forks question

    Your loader capacity either at the pin or 500mm out is well under 2,000 lbs, I assume it is a la534 loader. You need to buy light forks as you have to deduct the fork weight from the loader capacity, my only advice would be make sure you can adjust the fork width as you will do this often and if...

    Bucket type

    I use a rear snow blower without a cab, I know many users do too. It’s not perfect but it clears my yard and driveway real fast and leaves no snow piles anywhere.
