    BH77 Leak

    Slightly off-topic but related, I found that the bottom two grease fittings on my new BH77 were painted over and no grease getting in on first 10H check - no idea how they were initially greased but there was grease in there - had to chip/scrape to get to function properly. I will check the...

    Grapples: Land Pride vs. Everything Attachments

    I selected mine based on the same intended uses that you list. I ended up with the LP SGC0660 with my L2501 rolled in upfront after much debate and advice here. My first test run was a big nasty 36"diameter red oak stump leftover from Hurricane Sandy. Dug it out and it handled the awkward...

    What do you do with the trails you maintain?

    I developed a few miles of networked trails on my 10 acres and into the adjoining 150 acres of empty conservation land. The terrain is most heavy woods and a LOT of glacial deposited rock sized from "softballs to suburbans". It is on one side of a ridge so all land has pretty uniform elevation...

    Advice for tractor newbie

    Just saw this thread & I went through analysis paralysis and got some very good advice here. FWIW - I ended up with the L2501 TLB w 3fxn & LP grapple for woods work & grading: trails, rocks, stumps & firewood. My first test was a 3ft oak stump left by hurricane Sandy. I went aftermarket for...

    Frustration with waiting on new Kubota order

    I have had my 2501 TLB R14s for 4 weeks now and LOVE it. I was fortunate in that I had only 1-month wait using my local larger volume multi-site dealer who gave me a fair deal. However, I talked to my sales guy yesterday and he told me he is now 4 months out on the same and nobody is swapping...

    L2501 price

    That kind of used deal is what drove me to go new after 7 months of hard looking (it is super crazy now). My L2501 HST TLB w/ 3fx was just under $30K & delivered 25d ago. W/ Financing, warranty, and no question of abuse... Check the details on adding your tax & KTAC though per above to get...

    Equine offer pricing experience

    Regarding the equine discount, there are a number of threads on this, and the value depends on your needs. There are a lot of catches in the fine print as they would be giving away too much. I calculated both ways and in the end, decided on a full package of add ons beyond the base tractor...

    L3901 Backhoe attachment Cost/Worth it?

    I'm one week in with BH77 and obviously on the PRO side as I just bought mine. Have LOTS of rocks like Tarmy in post #13 above. In just 4 days, I dug out a 3' red oak stump from 120' tree w/ large root ball mound that has been in my way since Hurricane Sandy in 2011! I also have moved...

    L2501 tlb total length

    I just got the same setup delivered last week and was "guesstimating" right up to delivery day due to tight quarters with my Ford w/60"mmm lawn machine. As per above 18 foot is the min with hoe tight & locked in place. I am not wild about turning it to the side for the long term in my shed with...

    Bucket Hooks

    Can you fill me in on the bolt-on edge you have? - considering all options and leaning toward a toothed one but that looks interesting...

    Box blade or rear blade?

    Great info & feedback all. I know they have to be out there and there and will have to be patient and quick when they come up. My 'theory" was that there is not much to mess up in buying older used - same w/pallet forks... I already believe that BB will become a favorite as I have a lot of...

    Box blade or rear blade?

    Looks great!! How did you settle on the Homestead Implements BB vs. LP or others (I looked at the Countyline TSC as well)? I now have the same tractor set up as you (just delivered) and anticipate needing it mainly for the grading. I rolled in the grapple upfront as I have way more...

    L2501 config. advice

    DELIVERY DAY!! Thanks again for all the info :cool: - L2501 as TLB on R14s - also got the LP Grapple. Spent the afternoon familiarizing myself with all of the controls and attachments. Went for a long slow ride on all my trails to test drive. It felt a bit big at first as I should expect...

    kubota lx3310

    So in my case, I viewed extra weight as a plus in moving up to the L vs the B/LX as my focus was on the loader/BH. I decided to forgo any all-in-one lawn duties & keep my smaller old ford with 60mmm going (or replace down the road with ZT).

    Best rope for bringing trees down

    I just saw this thread but there is some very good advice above. Part of my investment in new Kubota is firewood, clearing &easier processing. I have been in this property with unmaintained old growth and many dead fall and hung trees for over a decade. I use the 200' of samson rope with...

    B2601 in 80 minutes !

    6% PA tax is the most painful part of my L2501 quote - should be delivered in about a week. I moved to Lehigh Valley from Delaware (no sales tax) and it kills me EVERYDAY:mad:
