I agree with roadworthy and and BigG on an L2501 (I love mine) only I would not fill the tires instead put that cost toward a $300 ballast box for when using a grapple or loader. Unlike filled tires it will cantilever the loader weight off the front axle and the tractor will be much more...

Yes I think I saw they have a mod for the gas pedal which should help. Not sure if it utilizes a wet clutch though.

I can't recall the gas Kubota UTV that I tested two years ago it may have been that one. The one thing that bothered me was trying to do something like pulling into the garage and smoothly inching up close to the log splitter. The throttle felt abrupt and the engagement was jerky. Once moving...

Actually it is the jurors who have caused this. I spent 20 minutes with a hair dryer removing the warning stickers. I left the instructional ones on.

Tornado it's a IS2100Z with 61" deck and Kawasaki engine. The 61" deck utilizes cast iron spindles, and I've had good luck with Kawasaki engines so that's why I chose that combination for my 2100. I bought it three Summers back for $9,100 (it listed for $9,900 IIRC). I see on Ferris's site...

Why not forget the CC and just write a check (or take in a bag of bills) and take advantage of the best price from the dealer?

Congratulations on your new property. Inventory varies by region so it would be helpful if you included your location. Having said this, assuming your property purchase is a done deal, I would start shopping now and if I found a deal I was comfortable with just buy it now and let them hold it...

What you have to mow is pretty much what Ventracs are made for. They offer rotary cutters as well as mowers, along with about 50 other implements. https://www.ventrac.com/products/tractors/4500

Are you running at full 2,100 rpm? There is noticeable difference between 1,800-1,900 rpm vs 2,100 on these tractors. I regularly travel on a gravel road that has a slight grade and mine w/o filled tires, but typically with the loader and ballast box pulls it in full high. I can tell though if...

Mine is insured under my standard homeowners policy for theft and loss from damage inside the garage from say fire. No "collision" though if I run it off a cliff that's on me.

Heck around here you're lucky if the seller can find the operators manuals much less a signed receipt from when they bought the tractor (if they even got one).

No not a quirk I learned this from others with L2501’s. Are you saying it doesn’t work on yours?

It sure is for mine in spite of what the owners manual says. There's a small sweet spot and you don't turn much for it. In order to find it for the first time turn the key slightly and very slowly until the glow plug indicator lights up, hold it there until ready to start then turn just a bit...

You can also turn the key slightly to the right and the glow plugs will heat up, just a bit more and the starter engages.

Good choice that's a nice tractor and congratulations! One thing you might reconsider are the larger tires if they are taller,. A member here a year or so back bought a B2650 with the optional larger tires same as come on the B3350, even had them filled, and experienced a lack of power in some...

Good. And you can always bungee up the chute when driving in and out.

Other than R1's I don't think any are that good in mud, but with 4wd unless it's deep mud or really steep you can generally get through. Yes from what I've seen I would try the R14's they seem to offer some of the best of both R4 and R3's. Having owned 54", 72", and 60", I find 60" to be the...

If you want a bit more tractor than a BX, more stability, lift, and ground clearance, the B2301 gives you that at not much, if any more $, than a Deere 1025. Between turf and R4, turf tires give better traction in snow and ice and are easier on the turf. Neither are good in mud with the R4’s...

Since it sounds you will be cutting down pasture grass/weeds, as opposed to heavy brush, I think you could use a standard or light duty 54" or 60" rotary cutter on a B2601, it has about the same HP as an L2501. A medium duty RC would be too heavy and also unnecessary. You could use the RC to cut...

After considering a BX I started with a B7500 (similar to a B2301) with LA302 loader and 54" mid mower to help maintain my 49 acres which consisted of 2 acre lawn, small 2 acre meadow, 800' gravel driveway, with the rest being woods which I cut trails through. That tractor did everything I...
