    L2501 Modifications

    Next video out on my channel will be the L2501 inj. timing vid. I JUST finished editing the final vid in the mower-fix series last night and posted it today. I'm also shooting video now on an electric chute rotation for SB10 series Land Pride blowers. Winter is coming :) Here's the finale...

    L2501 Modifications

    I'm still here. Part 2 of the mower fixup goes up today. Have started editing the D1703 vid. Mad respect to the people that post every 2-3 days on youtube. I spend ~4hrs per vid on editing/review alone.

    L2501 Modifications

    I have a video coming soon on my youtube channel (https://www.youtube.com/c/netmagi) In total, I have now: 1: Increased hyd. pressure 2: Increased RPM's 3: Advanced timing by ~3 degrees 4: Installed EGT probe 5: Turned up fueling It's a beast now. It runs better, smokes less, sounds better...

    Homemade Hydraulic Decompression Tool

    Nice job on the fab. I had the same issue, but I just keep a micro quick clamp in my tractor toolbox (fits in the palm of your hand) and use it to gently depress (and hold down) either button on the 3rd function control (key ON, but tractor NOT running) while I plug in the hoses. Hoses slip...

    3rd Function for Dirt Auger on an L2501 w/BH77 Backhoe

    it's a fair point on the skid steer. I went from a BX to an L2501 because while I liked the size of the BX, I didn't like it's limitations. The L2501 *FEELS* huge, but still comes up short on occasions where I know a skid steer would do a better job. Thing is, even with it's significant...

    3rd Function for Dirt Auger on an L2501 w/BH77 Backhoe

    Yeh, it spins slow. I pulled my footage into premiere and calc'd actual speed from frames. Looks to be just over 23 RPM. It does seem quite torquey though . Managed to break one of the teeth when I stalled it on a big rock. If I was doing a LOT of holes, I think I would want something...

    3rd Function for Dirt Auger on an L2501 w/BH77 Backhoe

    Ended up working surprisingly well. This is with a 12" bit: I am NOT as fat as this shirt makes me look when it hangs like that, but my shorts ARE every bit as trashy as they look :)

    3rd Function for Dirt Auger on an L2501 w/BH77 Backhoe

    Called 5 different places and they all basically said 'next spring' for the land pride unit. I looked at several other models and tried to find them in stock: Auger Torque: X1500 - 5-13gpm, 1015-2973 PSI, 377-1103 ft-lb Belltec LC150 - 6-15gpm, 1500lb torque @ 3000psi Lowe 500 Classic -...

    3rd Function for Dirt Auger on an L2501 w/BH77 Backhoe

    thanks for the replies I found this on Messicks that appears to show the alternate hyd plumbing if you have a BH: https://www.messicks.com/uploads/assets/380-152a_color_copy.pdf It looks to me like it's just in-line on the return side instead of the feed side of the loader circuit, but still...

    3rd Function for Dirt Auger on an L2501 w/BH77 Backhoe

    What I thought would be an easy problem to solve has me wondering what I'm getting myself into. I'm looking to pickup an auger for the SSQA on my L2501 and I know I need a 3rd-function kit to power the hydraulic motor. Seems I have two things stacked against me here though: 1) I have a...

    Workshop Manual

    I bought and pdf’d the bh77 one, then sent to kubotabooks: http://kubotabooks.com/AutoIndex/index.php?dir=Backhoes/&file=BH77%20Backhoe%20-%20Workshop%20Manual.pdf

    Zero turn Mowers—What’s best?

    Just my .02, but if you're looking to buy a zero turn anyway, I wouldn't look at it as filling in the gaps for the BX, but instead having it wholly replace how you cut your lawn. You probably feel some attachment to cutting with the BX since it was one of the purposes you bought it for, but in...

    Heavy duty cart for the Kubota GL7000 generator.

    Very well done. I'd say the tires/wheels are your weakest link, but more than enough for the weight of that genny. As well as you made that, if you swapped to solid metal wheels, that cart is probably good for 2k+ lbs.

    What’s Your Pucker Factor?

    Mowed a slope that varied 22-28 degrees for 5 yrs on my BX with mmm, but in 4wd straight up and down. Would never sidehill it like that but my slope was loooong. If i rolled i would have gone over 4-5x before i got to the bottom, which was a paved public road. Sold the BX and moved up to an L...

    L3901 Backhoe attachment Cost/Worth it?

    My BH77 is on the back of my L2501 all the time except during winter. If you're able to leave it on all the time, you have a great counterweight for heavy lifting, and you'll use it for the "one scoop" jobs like removing shrubs *and* the big stuff. Now, if you envision running 3-pt implements...

    How-to: Raising the hydraulic pressure on an L2501 and measuring the REAL results

    Good catch. I even had the WSM page printed out, and I was thinking it was PTO speed for some reason. It was not a significant difference (it IS at much lower RPM's). If you goto the 35-min mark in my video, I vary the RPM's and show the gauge @ each: 2100rpms = ~2550psi 2300rpms = ~2565psi...

    How-to: Raising the hydraulic pressure on an L2501 and measuring the REAL results

    BX did ~880lbs @ the fork frame ~20" height and ~650lbs @ ~18" away from fork back ~36" height with these forks (lighter forks): http://www.mytractortools.com/forks.html I will say you can definitely "cheat" with the strong curl cylinder on the BX. I think I could probably get ~800lbs up to...
