Great ideas. All of these are better than my "system" that involves laying it down against the wall in the tractor shed. :( I do disconnect the auger. I try to keep most of my equipment (esp. pto driven) out of the elements here in PA.

Mine was hard at first and I used a small adjustable that I kept in the toolbox. After a while and some WD40 it freed up & I do it to hand tight and don't bother with the wrench.

Great post - I have been contemplating this for a while and have the spot that is a seasonal wetland and occasional "pond". I am on a ridge and this area is a natural basin at the valley floor level that collects storm surge and only drains out one way. I have cleared out all the junk...

I wish I had done this when a freshly bucked 3' round rolled down a 15 ft drop hill and swerved 45 ft right into my front wheel kicking off the stem. I was rushing to beat a big storm front coming through - A lot of good that did me.! BTW - I have stuck with tubes through my many "adventures"...

pump it up - slather on soapy water & see what you see check & tighten valve stem core?

Any diesel oil with the right service grade is fine (many crazy threads debating that around the net - everyone has their opinion and favorite but the reality is testing and certification are there for a reason and work) You DO want to use Kubota hydraulic fluid though.

IF you have any apptitude at all, do the service yourself on either once you determine everything is operating correctly (...BEFORE you buy). Heck, even if you don't, we can talk you through it! Filters & K hyd fluid etc. aren't cheap but it is way, WAY under $700. As per above, use the $$...

Hard one - Apples and oranges a bit. I would look at the condition, equipment specs, storage vs cost to determine "value" to me. Either is hardly broken in. Any engine based equipment is better when run regularly vs sitting, but I wouldn't be scared of either without other factors. I...

My 2501 was also right on published spec. which is under L33/39 with same H pump and loader. I judiciously bumped up based on a survey of input here. I was conservative at first and couldn't be happier with the results. Felt no need to adjust further so far. Now the artificially low rev...

While I would love to have the chips for paths and projects, I separate out stove size (usually down to about 3" on "good" hardwood and pile the rest. I have become a firewood snob lately and poplar & other junk wood is not worth the time/effort. Anything I CSS (cut spilt stack) goes inside to...

Quickest & best is heavy equipment per Elliot. Trees & rocks - I have them in spades. I have time & smaller equipment and overachieve with them. I am in PA on 10 acres in the middle of about 150, sloped & heavy old growth with glacial deposit boulders of ALL sizes. I moved about 40 tons of...

Welcome! - I can't comment to the diff on the 02 vs 01 but I assume that they are comparable if not the same on specs. There are multiple routes to more power and some adjustments to use/technique. Several points to consider: The hyd pump on the 01 was the same for 25/33/39 and is underrated...

Ugh - I played a different version of the same game with the weak front hub on my 1210... I would have preferred the wheel version. FWIW - I've never seen that failure before. Maybe you can reweld?

Funny & agreed! - of course, you know that any proper oil when changed is fine. Can't resist a good oil thread... :p Use the 5W 30 or 40 depending on what's on the shelf & you don't have to worry about the season here in the NE FWIW - I run have T6 in my Kawasaki engined ZT after break-in...

FYI - you will find the same predatory price gouging on LED bulb specifically targeting kubota - not rocket science to get the specs

Dug 'em up & here you go - exact for L2501 (and others I'm sure). Paid a whopping 80 cents per. 😬 After experimenting - use a good gauge... I could have used 1 in the combo in the next size up but they were oos so I stacked them. Def. get the correct ones edit: 0.4 also available for sure...

Welcome! I bought an assortment of thicknesses to fine-tune the stack with a pressure gauge. It was expensive for the material but nowhere near what you listed above. I will check and come back, but gut-check recall it somewhere in the $10-15 range for at least 3 diff ones and multiple packs...

Wow - glad he was OK!! It is a sickening feeling that you never forget! I had this happen once on a VERY powerful older car (67) where I had just installed a new power brake vacuum line that ran under the linkage. Tested and drove fine until I did a full-throttle pass & it hung up open. Over...

This happened yesterday close to me - Was about 200+ yards of destruction and the car isn't recognizable. Talked to my friend who works at the Toyota dealership and he told me it was a Challenger. It took out the sign, two tents on either side of the drive, 10 cars including the TOP of the...

I use a 7' Handles it fine, just have to be careful on the turns ;) I would prob buy a 6'
