Depends, if your dealership is a large one they may do there own tire repair, most likely, they sub out to a Truck Tire Repair Shop. Call both see what they recommend. Also, rear tire may have a tube, so locating/repairing leak, requires removing tire. Since you have luxury of two tractors...

The chains fetching up is due to the wide R-4 and/or R-14 tires without wheel spacers. R-1’s give you and additional 3 to 4 inches of room for sway arms on 3-point hitch. I had to keep arm tension very tight and the implement centred, no room to off-set, as your and my photos show!

Certainly seem to be a lot of people making that choice. You’d need a new set of Ice chains at minimum, may need a few new tractor implements, for the new property. May be worth considering:)

Wheel spacers needed, Kubota sells a 1” spacer, however having had those R-14’s on my new l2501, I had planned to get 2”” spacers, fortunately, now have R-1’s. I’ve only chained the rear tires on my L3800 and it preformed well for seven years.

Nice job on the install of lights, with photos. Pushing snow in reverse, with inadequate lighting has been a problem for me, maybe this year, I install some LED’s !! Welcome to the forum!

A good quality Rear Blade, it can do snow and also road grading on the gravel section of your driveway.

1) intercept ditch behind both buildings 2)divert water from buildings roofs/pads to #1 3) build up access road and gravel 4) ditch upper side of road and culvert under access road

Ditch/trench with culvert under, the access road, 4”/6” culvert can do the job. Also, if you remove the organic soil and ideally replace with gravel , your access should be better?

Great tractor, had mine for 9 years!

Good luck, you may not want switch dealers, but it may be you best option. At my dealer I was told they are becoming frustrated, due to non-logical shipping of equipment. Or equipment not be shipped in order sequence. I’d check out other dealers, they may have what you want. May cost a bit...

For the initial snow I pull the blade. Depending on how much snow, and how moist it is, will determine the best angle. For deep fresh snow, first pass I run with bucket down, just to clear extra snow. For widening, and clean-up, especially, if snow has firmed up, you have two choices 1) push...

Living on the East Coast, close to the ocean, we get a real mix of snow, rain, sleet, freeze and thaw, often in the same week! Tend to plow, nothing worse than frozen slush, or glare ice from no previous plowing. As for sanding, I keep a pile 3/4” clear (crushed) stone, I can scatter with the...

How exciting, make sure you get lots of seat time, want to keep that cost per hour down! Curious to know what, implements you plan to have. For myself I use box blade for three seasons, rear blade for winter snow. Box Blade is definitely my go to implement for road work and earth moving.

True, if buying used, you get what’s on the tractor. You may find new, is your best option once you see what’s available and the price of used. When you buy new, you have a choice, as to what tire option you want. If your diving on hard surfaces

Based on your requirements for farm, forestry and construction projects I’d go with a R-1 Ag. Tire. You get more ground clearance, they are mean to use with agriculture attachments on 3 point hitch, better traction, better on rough ground.

3 months, to hit the 50 hour mark.

Don’t worry about how many hours when, for many of us, owning a tractor is an expensive hobby, like sailing, or race cars, or big game hunting. i’ve never owned a new car, but yet I’m on my my second new tractor? Go figure!!!

50 hour update, the 2501 preforms extremely well, can be a bit slower on a steep uphill climb, and a bit of lugging when working it hard with box blade. Having had l3800 previously, I had expected, a bit less power, so some work takes bit longer to preform. I was having an issue while doing...

split rims for R-14’s ,that offset, would solve a few issues, no need for wheel spacers, provide for wider stance if desired. I suspect the split rim is more expensive, but it could be an option .
