I agree. The news if full of examples of the world going to the crapper in a hurry, but reality is there are a lot of good folks doing good things for the right reasons.

I like the way they placed the front weight on the bale directly over the driver's head. You think he's worried about voiding his tractors warranty or the safety police giving him a hard time for not using a seat belt or not having a ROPS? Nah, just out there gett'n it done with a little help...

I leave my backhoe attached 90% of the time. The bucket has 80-ish lbs of chains and stuff in it. I don't lower it to the ground for support. It's just fine. If were to park it for a year it might make a flat spot on the tires, but mine gets moved 3-4 times a week so no issues there. If it...

Out of curiosity, what is your tow vehicle? I'm sure it's not a Ford Ranger ;)

We all like to use our tractors for all kinds of stuff, why not. In this particular case it sounds like your tow vehicle is the more appropriate tool for this task.

... then it would end up being one of those "unproductive purchases". I hate those types of learning experiences.

Be like Nike and "just do it". If it's over stressing your L, you'll know it. How many times have folks tried lifting something too heavy for their loader to lift? You know right away if it's too heavy, it won't lift. It doesn't hurt anything. Like you said, I wouldn't advise heading down a...

What it had is that it was on sale with free shipping and the regular was not. You can get other sonic versions, but a few years ago when I was looking at them, that brand was supposedly the best. Thy make them to hook up to a battery (car, tractor, etc.) but I wanted the regular 120 plug in...

I use the mouse blocker pro. I have it plugged into my camper which lives in an open ended metal garage adjacent to the mancave. I haven't seen signs of mice in the camper since I plugged it in a few years ago, and no evidence of them in the mancave.

Maybe those mice prefer chuncky ??

EA and BXpanded sure seem to get a lot of free press here on OTT ;)

Every time I use my tractor I swear. Even just walking past it in the mancave I tend to swear. I swear I'll never sell it!! I swear I wish I had bought it 10 years sooner!!

Depending on your soil type, might want to consider some type of geomatting material underneath. I have a section of my gravel driveway that has it, and a section that doesn't. The old part without the matting eats gravel. I'll put down 30 tons of crusher run and within 3-4 years it's sunken...

If I didn't keep the BH on 90% of the time, I'd replicate that Kolpin mod too.

Ya gotta admit, yours ain't no stock 2501 ;)

Exactly right. I took time to dig them out one by one. I could have probably rented an excavator and got it all done in a week, but that weeks rental basically paid for my BH. Instead of taking a week off work with a rental, I was able to dig an hour here and there after work at my leisure...

I agree the higher displacement has the potential to put out a lot more power, but it's tuned to be rated at 26 hp to prevent needing a particulate filter, same as the 1261 cc. The extra 873 lbs of the L is a 33.2% increase in weight (read that as mass), but no increased hp and only a 16%...

That extra weight does affect capability, sometimes in a negative manner. Example: B2560 and l2501. Have both pick up 1,000 lb load on their loader and then try to carry it up a steep hill. Both have essentially 26 hp to carry it uphill, but the l2501 also has to carry its extra 873 lbs up...

My Ferris has a hinged deck. I don't know if it would help, but I can take pic of it or you could browse the Ferris site and get some ideas.

I agree with everything DirtyDeed just said. Then again, we both opted for the B2650 with BH (old name for the new LX), so I guess we would agree. I have right around 3 acres with woods. I've taken down more trees and dug up more stumps than I'd like to admit. I use the forks and have not...
