    Adding SCV/3rd Function to L2501

    Great thoughts, thanks. Let me clarify: I don't mean using both at the same time. I just want to be sure when I run Hoses for the 3rd f(x), I won't have to replace those hoses if I want to add a rear remote. I just can't seem to find a clear explanation of how to do this, and what I would...

    Adding SCV/3rd Function to L2501

    Trying to add a 3rd function kit to my L2501 HST, I'd also like to add 1 or 2 rear remotes (SCV). I'm having a terribly difficult time figuring out which to add first, and if I can even add them both. If I can only do one I'm looking into the Summit Hydraulics 3rd f(x) kit. Any reason to...

    Seeking Advice for First Tractor (probably B2601)

    Lots of good advice above. I'd look at a bigger tractor, one of the L-series. Not too much bigger but a lot more capable (minus the mid-mount-PTO). I paid less than $1000 more for a L2501 last year. Given that I don't know your location, dealer, or market, you might be paying too much...

    Selling LX2610

    Matt, good luck with the sale. If you find a buyer who doesn't want all the pieces keep me in mind. Seems like a good opportunity to trade up, and also good timing to sell a lightly used tractor in this market. The week after I bought my L2501, a local had basically the same tractor with all...

    Selling LX2610

    How do you like the summit 3rd function? If you decide to sell, I'd be interested in the grapple, QH, and possibly the cutter. I'm one state south of you.

    Bought my first tractor

    Congratulations, I suspected (and you confirmed) that you stole that tractor from someone. What a great deal and good idea for jumping on things quick.

    does buying a tractor work like buying a car?

    Not really, in my experience: 1. The dealer was interested in seeing that I got into the correct tractor for my needs 2. The dealer didn't care whether I bought it or not, the deal offered was the deal. I paid about 15% less than MSRP for my L2501 last year. I understand that deals like that...

    Can't find a B2601, is the B2601 the right pick.

    Hang in there, Tim. Here's my take on your questions: 1. Yes, there is an inventory shortage due to supply chain issues. 2. A good dealer is a local one, independent. In my AO, there is one local dealer (1 location), and a couple locations of a 3-4 dealer company. The local guy is where I...
