yes it is the lightweight bucket, failed to mention I will be doing a different bucket too, and it was represented well in pictures, not beat up just normal wear/tear, looked at several that pictures were definitely the day the prior owner took possession, looked at a lot of beat up...

I think I got a "Fair deal" the price was pretty good but it is going to have to have rear tires SOON:eek: but I kind of figured them in with the deal;) I cannot imagine buying new and not insisting on QA, but local dealer had a bunch w/o, 2501's and even about 1/2 of their 3301's

after several "dry runs" and a lot of looking finally added this to the stable L 3400 HST, R4's, FEL, and a Bush hog brand cutter should be a good fit between my BX and the 5030;) will be looking at a QA bucket upgrade, (currently pin on), hopefully a grapple, and a chipper/shredder soon...

ha ha ha, got nick-name "hung" on me from a fishing buddy, at a tournament he just said well if it ain't ole "empty hands" and it has kind of stuck:rolleyes: I kind of thought it was tube and agree structurally sound for intended use, but I could have done w/o seeing that piece of granite, got...

well he did send me some pic's and they may have been R4's but they look more like R3 or 3.5's due to the wear, looks to be road wear all dead center, and he is asking 14k w/900 hours, does not appear to have been abused though, may get a chance to look at it tomorrow, and no QA bucket:(, but it...

fix it, you'll be fine

looks like it would be easy enough to build one, first one i saw on the front of one of those green tractors i thought "Wow, that would be handy trimming hedges" :p then i saw where it was only for transporting and deck maintenance :o:D:D something similar to this :p:D:D...

thanks Vic, and I figure it is a pretty solid machine just trying to avoid an un-informed consideration/purchase, tractor is HST, the guy replied that it has R4 ag tires so not sure on that, loader but no QA Bucket, and is @ 900 hrs, and asking 14000

good deal:D;)

Good, bad, ugly:confused: problem child???? any input appreciated;):D

very nice work, hard to tell from the pic though, is the tube/rod hanger for the forks solid or tube, looks to be a tube for me, if tubing could you list specs on it as well;) and i think that is going to serve you well with your intended uses;)

NISSAN :D and i see potential;)

i have a friend that had considered adding a tractor line to his business and they were telling him he had to carry a certain number of units they called it "floorplan" IIRC and he told me that after 90 days the unit would start costing him money, so there was some incentive to move a unit a...

Hours and the likelihood of decent care are my two main things, i do not want a tractor that has been beat up and not repaired, looked at a couple recently that looks like the owners/operators broke something everyday and fixed about 1/10 of the things they had broken:eek:, that said, i use my...

i think it is time for a new front yoke and u-joint;) betting the pin is either bent or worn, think the last one i bought through dealer was 45$ and u-joint was <20

Thanks Roadworthy, I know on the "build my Kubota" site the same tractor is listed at 22600 identically equipped, will be thinking hard on this one between now and Monday :eek::D

when and if you ever look at a factory sharpened blade you'll find that the leading/cutting edge is never sharpened to a 'knife like" edge but more like a scissor, like mentioned razor sharp will cut like crazy for a few minutes, but a factory ground profile is much more durable

L 2501 R4's HST QA Bucket 330 hrs 14200$ tractor appears to have been well cared for (pictures) been following several posters here (troverman and Roadworthy) and have been intrigued, was looking at/for a 30-35 HP unit, but the more I look at the 2501 i'm thinking it would meet my needs...

Good deal BigD, looking forward to pic's video's and report;)

nice unit, for the plots a lot of people like a small disk, if the are already established plots i'll spray them and then burn them off, and i'll use a field cultivator, if they are new plots or with significant root growth in area i'd use the disk, i really prefer the cultivator for the stuff i...
