    How many watts / amps for LED light bar?

    If I remember correctly they don't put the actual wattage for the LED lights on their listing. They instead put the wattage from the comparable traditional incandescent bulbs. I'd be surprised if it pulled much more than 5 amps.

    Drilling holes in ROPS a bad idea - safety / warranty

    I think it also has a little to do with the whole "you can't fix stupid" argument. A couple small round holes in the ROPs tubing won't hurt anything but it is more for your neighbor Billy who decided to put in 3 sets of lights, a chainsaw mount, a couple cup holders and a gun rack all attached...

    Ktac

    TLDR: If you are buying new I highly advise KTAC, they are prompt and to the point. If you are in Southeast Iowa and looking for equipment give Belzer Equipment in Albia, IA a look. They are relaxed, and definitely go the extra mile for their clients. So I was out with my 2501 about a month ago...

    L3901 4 in 1 loader bucket capabilities

    I think you'd be better off with using a grapple. The 4 in 1 would probably limit you to grabbing one trunk at a time, and I believe that the 4 in 1 is probably a lot more expensive than a grapple too. After all the big stuff is moved with the grapple you can always come back with the normal...

    Extinction

    I don't see it being anything natural... Humans are the apex predator because of our ability to rapidly adapt and build tools to survive harsh environments. As a species we survived ice ages and droughts. We are the only creatures that survive on all 7 continents (barring any bugs or...

    HST fluid change at 50 hrs?

    The first 50 hours is the tractors break in period. So there will be metal shavings in the fluid. The filter "should" remove them but there is a lot of things that should be in this world and aren't. I changed mine at 50 hours and even if a breakdown would have been covered under warranty the...

    2.5 gal YELLOW fuel can? (maybe Orange?)

    This is the only 2 gallon diesel can I could find: https://www.amazon.com/Eagle-UI-20-FSY-Safety-Funnel-Capacity/dp/B002M34U7M/ref=sr_1_4?crid=1JDELHU2Q6JVW&keywords=2.5+gallon+diesel+fuel+can&qid=1569937472&s=gateway&sprefix=2.5+gallon+die%2Caps%2C313&sr=8-4 It is metal and weighs 5 lbs by...

    B2650 or L2501

    I don't know if this concerns you at all but the L series is an economy tractor so it has fewer comforts than the B series tractors. So the B will have Armrests, a more ergonomic location on the loader stick, etc.. Also the B series runs smaller implements, meaning it does take more time but...

    Inner Air Filter L2501

    It may (emphasis on may) reduce the power produced by the engine. Think about the effect of breathing through a respirator vs breathing through a comforter. If the weave of the filter tightens up enough with the added filter the air flow could be reduced resulting in less oxygen to mix with the...

    Torque Settings

    It has to do with the size and number of bolts. Basically the wheels need a certain clamping force applied to the rims so that the rim does not wobble and either loosen or shear the bolt head off. Since the front wheels only have 4 they need the higher torque to reach their required clamping...

    Pattern Software

    I second Draftsight for 2D drawings. I believe Draftsight even allows you to make hotkeys for different commands. If you ever want to move into 3D stuff there are some affordable options out there like Alibre or Rhino. A big plus to all these programs is they allow you to save your items to...

    Grease guns and grease

    If you are still looking I got a manual one from Lube Shuttle: https://advancedenginetech.com/aet-systems-store/ They are designed and made in Germany, but it is really well made. The gun pulls the grease through via suction instead of a plunger making a lot less of a mess. If you do not...

    Leaking Diesel

    I looked into this last night. I unscrewed the filter and the valve worked as you stated (too bad it only fully closes after the filter is fully removed lost like a quart of diesel on my driveway). The O-Ring looked ok so I screwed it back on and the leak was magically gone. Thanks for your help!

    Leaking Diesel

    Ok it is built in. I will take a look at it tomorrow when it is light out and hopefully it is that easy of a fix. Thanks for your help!

    Leaking Diesel

    Hello, I was looking over my L2501 HST yesterday and noticed a leak coming from the fuel filter on the Right Side (when in the drivers seat looking forward). A steady drip falls off the filter every 10 seconds or so. I examined the clear cup as much as possible. There are no cracks that I can...

    RCR 1860 w/ Slip Clutch Price Check

    Hello all, The other day I went to the local dealership in Southeast Iowa to get a bid on a Rotary Cutter. I got land that hasn't been maintained in probably the last 5-10 years and has a lot of overgrowth. So after doing some looking it appeared that the RCR 1860 would be a good fit. The price...

    Cruise Control on L2501

    How difficult would it be for me to install cruise control on my L2501? I am fairly handy and as long as I have a manual and the correct tools I can normally make my way through most things. Do they sell a cruise control kit like they do the 3rd function valve or is this something that is...
