    13 Month Backorder on L2501’s

    Yes exactly, some dealers ordered sufficient inventory to meet the demand, in my case for L2501. However, once all this inventory is sold it could take many months for new inventory to arrive. I believe l2501 is made in Japan, so that could be part of the problem. If considering buying check...

    13 Month Backorder on L2501’s

    Had the l3800 since 2013, put 1400 hrs on it, many of them hard hrs., some mechanical needed, major repair to FEL needed. I suspect I’ll miss the extra hp, but could not justify extra $9000 +15% tax 🇨🇦 for a new L3801.

    13 Month Backorder on L2501’s

    Broken welds at crossbras on arms, due to prying rock and digging using the corner of bucket. More loading less excavation in my future! My local service, say pin removal can be an issue, ie torch! All mine will move tested them yesterday.

    FEL Repair

    I have a LA 524 Loader, on my l3800, with broken loader arms, I have re-welded the problem a few times, with limited success. I've been quoted $2000 for a major re-weld or $1200 for a new set of arms from Kubota. My thinking is to go with new arms, hence my questions. 1) Has anyone done this...
