Op - I had my L2501 for about a year - liked it a lot but wanted to move on to something with more lift capacity (original reason) but then opted for a cab and AC as well! You will have no regrets! I documented MY logic in the thread HERE. Many peeps didn't appreciate reading about non-Kubota...

Readers beware. This op is a fraud and has just joined here with a "make believe" problem so that he can pop back in and propose HIS magically solution. This is just a way to leverage the forum without paying a sponsorship. Hopefully an admin can delete.

You should be able to half-turn those bulb sockets and remove them. Check to see if the bulbs are there - and if they're good. (That's all part of a circuit board - you can see the traces and the wire feed looks to be that harness on the end.)

mcmxi - Out of respect for the op, and keeping HIS thread on-track, I'm not going to respond to your off-topic nonsense. Kubota PUBLISHES lift capacity for the L2501. When we are speaking about LIFT CAPACITIES, I think that's the spec that is relevant. Neither me or the op cares about your MX...

Yeah, the 580M is a monster and I haven't found anything it wont lift. It has been a HUGE asset for us during the last year or two as we have prepared our lot to build on. When we are done building (and have the septic, electrical, gas trenching all done) we'll likely sell the 580 and get a...

With all due respect, breakout force is NOT lift capacity at ground level. Breakout force is typically measured using BOTH the lift and curl cylinders as well as also leveraging the back edge of the bucket against the ground as a fulcrum. I agree that with a grapple, breakout force may be...

Not sure where that number is coming from. Kubota specs the max lift weight (at the pins) at 1131lbs. That is consistent with what I observed on my L2501 and there's also a couple of youtube video tests that got almost the same number. It won't come close to 2000lbs (or I likely wouldn't have...

I have this problem as well. It's not so easy to twist around and see what you're doing. I am in process to try to solve this. I have a cab model (it's orange but not a Kubota) and I am adding a 9" high resolution color screen and rear mounted camera. I made a mount for the screen that...

I made a good decision for me. It doesn't mean it is the right decision for someone else - how many times have I said that? Perhaps the only difference between me and *some* other folks, is that I'm not intimidated to shop across brands when/if it makes sense. That's all.

I happy to correct the LX "street price" if I have gotten it wrong. Oddly enough, I derived it from a post you made a few months ago... I guesstimated that the Grapple, Box Blade, and Auger to be $5,000 with implement discounts. Maybe that's low - but if you say I was $6,000 off on my price...

I think you summed it up very nicely, thank you. For the same amount of money, if I wanted a tractor 60% less power, 50% less PTO power, less than 1/2 the lifting capacity and was half the weight, I should have bought the Kubota. We agree. Luckily that wasn't my criteria. The point I'm trying...

Yeah, a real riot. But it looks like we have a couple of things in common... we both purchased a tractor at about the same time and we both spent about the same amount of money (apples to apples without the attachments). So, did you not look at any brand other than Kubota? Or maybe you...

Very mature, Newaterman. Nothing constructive to add or say - so you just throw stones.

I don't necessarily "love" Kioti any more than I love Ford over Chevrolet. When it comes time to shop for a new truck, I will look at what the manufacturers have available, do my prudent research, and buy the best truck to fit my needs. In the last 10-12 years, I've had a diesel Silverado...

Is someone forcing to repeatedly come back to this thread? You just keep posting and posting in this Kioto-centric thread and while some of your initial posts were mildly informative - it's been non-stop sour grapes since page 5. You are just an antagonist who is incapable of carrying an...

I'm telling YOU that you don't know the definition of trolling. Many, many threads on this forum about different tractors, attachments, issues, etc. This is single thread sharing experiences of having switched to a different tractor - as the thread title clearly states. Don't care or not...

Trolling? Because I started a single thread about experiences upgrading from an L2501 to a God forbid, Kioti? That's trolling? If you're couldn't care less about the topic or learning anything about one person's Kioti experience, just don't click on the thread. There's LOTS of other threads!

Hey Rdcr, you may very well be right that it is ignorance on my behalf. In truth, I did not shop either JD or Yanmar and my predisposition was to buy another Kubota. Thinking back, my biggest regret of this whole thread I started was in the timing. In retrospect, I wish I would have posted it...

I get off on how close-minded and immature you are. I had not posted in this thread in a month - yet it moves forward - mostly with more Kubota owners with twisted panties in their crack. Isn't this the Orange Tractor forum? My tractor is orange. Let's watch all of the responses... you guys...

Since you guys seem to miss me over here in this thread... where I thought we had agreed that this discussion had LONG passed the point of diminishing returns, I thought I'd give a brief update on the Kioti. Too many things going on with life right now and I'm not getting as much time on the...
