Does anyone know if a 5/16 chain hook fit through a 1/2 shackle? Thanks

Thanks again for the useful post. It gave me a good ideal. How about those scissor jack that are used on travel trailers. I could install 2 on the rear and it won’t cause a clearance issue so my tail end won’t drag. I will check into the jacks and see if I can find one heavy duty enough for my...

This is one of my two options I am now considering. I think it would be better than the pull out ramps because I can build a support on the ramps to prevent the rear of the tow vehicle from lifting while loading and unloading.

Thanks for the tip I just remember About a trailer I had that had a full width expanded metal fold down ramp that when empty felt like I was pull a full load at highway speed. I took that ramp off and loaded my mower with metal ramps like you use to load a lawnmower in a truck bed. The trailer...

There was multiple reasons I considered not using trailer brakes when I started the build. The main reason was simply the extra cost. It is going to cost me $300 to $400 more for brakes on both axles, wires and conduit and a brake controller. Second was I did not want to maintain another...

Thanks to the people providing useful information instead of criticizing me. I thought about a full width ramp but I was worried about the weight raising and lower the ramp. Maybe I can incorporate some springs or shocks to help with the weight. I also thought about making some slide out ramps...

My dash cam will prove who is at fault, I don’t leave it up to a judgment call from corrupted cops. What necessary equipment? Kentucky law is you are NOT required to have ANY extra equipment to assist with braking when hauling a trailer. If someone pulled out in front of me when I have the...

I forgot to add in my post that my lawn mower is the only engine I run at max rpm’s 99% of its life and that is the reason I asked the question. That is what got me thinking “maybe I am not operating my tractor properly, maybe I should start the engine and turn the rpm’s all the way up and go to...

Hello. I was wanting to know how everyone operates there throttle when using there tractors. I have a L2501 HST. I have never had the throttle wide open yet. When I operate my lawn mower which is a small garden tractor I start the mower and I immediately open the throttle all the way up and...

Mine is a 2001 E350 super duty service van. It didn’t come with a towing package but I believe it is pre-wired.

I went ahead and upgraded to brakes on both axles and upgraded my tires from 225/75r15 to 235/85r16. I spent $370 more than I wanted to but I believe it will be worth it in the long run. I also picked up some led lights and a heavy duty hanger kit with grease able equalizer. I didn’t want to...

Thanks everyone for the advice. I have to say that everyone has convinced me that I do need to add brakes. Everyone has said yes you do need brakes except me! I am calling my parts supplier ASAP and upgrading to brake axles. But I have one last question. Brakes on both axles or one? Since it...

I am thinking about installing idler axles now and later down the road installing hydraulic disc brakes. Any suggestions on hydraulic over electric?

If someone pulls out in front of me when I have the right of way and I hit them they would be at fault. I thought about upgrading to brake axles and later down the road hook them up like you suggested. Would there be any negative affect using brake axles that are not hooked up? Every couple...

Check out the L2501 mine has done everything I have asked it to do. I am truly amazed by this machine.

Hello, I have a Kubota L2501 that I will be moving with a dual axle trailer. I have a Ford E350 super duty I will be towing with. I am rebuilding a homemade 14 foot equipment trailer to haul my tractor and implements around. Weights: Tractor 2,623 pounds Loader 805 pounds Bucket 265 pounds...

You are correct and I misunderstood. My bucket weighs 120 kg 265 pounds. I thought it was 120 pound and I got very weak because I cannot budge the bucket when unhooked from the FEL. I was wandering how I got so weak! This really opens up a lot of options for me. I now realize that a set of...

I have a L2501. I had filled tires and a box blade and on the hills I work I found that completely inadequate. I then installed 3 sets of rear wheel weights 6 weights at 60 pounds each. With the box blade, filled tires and rear weights it is a lot more stable working steep hills but I believe...

This is not my video but did you check and see if your fuel was gelled? https://youtu.be/gBBrj8LfF8c

Hello I have a Kubota L2501 With A LA525 loader. I wanted to remove the 120 pound 66 inch bucket and install pallet forks. I have a skid steer quick attach coupler on my LA525 loader. I have already done a lot of research and I cannot find a light weight set of forks below 200 pounds. I...
