    I just bought my first tractor!

    I was worried about the turning radius but I'm like woah, it's actually not that bad! I'm just plowing snow with since I have a plow for it so I think the loaded tires will give me plenty of traction for my flat driveway without the need for the ballast box, hopefully.

    I just bought my first tractor!

    It was a long day, had lots to do. Anyways, the tractor is parked in the garage. I put the bucket on, nailed it first time using the SSQA. A lot easier than I thought. This is really my first time using it, a little nerve wracking and intimidating but I'm sure with some seat time I'll get the...

    I just bought my first tractor!

    It doesn't look narrow to me, looks significantly wider than the B series I was looking at. I am worried it might be too heavy for my property but worse case, I'll use it for a while and see how it goes and maybe trade it in for an LX. But perhaps it will be just fine for the price. I've been...

    I just bought my first tractor!

    Today's the day! Borrowed a 10K equipment trailer from a local trailer dealership to get it. Glad I kept my digital brake controller but when plugged it in the truck and it didn't work (it's been years)..I'm like uh oh. Checked the fuse panel and sure enough the fuse for the brake controller was...

    I just bought my first tractor!

    I don't have the WSM. I don't think the grease fittings on the chassis needs to be greased at the same interval as the loader does, am I right in thinking that? I'm just debating getting a cordless grease gun, I could do it manually but I have other things I need to grease regularly. This...

    Confused by the manual of the L2501 HST

    That's scary. Well I don't intend to be doing any post pounding any time soon. But they don't seem like a piece of equipment you wanna screw with haha. I really really don't like PTO powered post augars. Not a fan.

    I just bought my first tractor!

    That's what I'm seeing. I have a lot of stuff to grease and for years I've used lucas xtra heavy duty grease on everything and never had issues. My zero turn mower is from 2010 and I grease it all the time with that lucas stuff and there's little to no wear on anything.

    Confused by the manual of the L2501 HST

    Nice tractor! I'm definitely all about safety and I always try my best to do something the safe way but there are times as you know, you need to take a chance understanding the potential risk, may not always be Osha approved but we often find unique ways to get the job done when a challenge is...

    Confused by the manual of the L2501 HST

    That's exactly why I joined this forum. It will be a great resource! I'm just trying to go into this new adventure with understanding. I seen many people buy tractors like this and have absolutely no idea what they are doing and break it within the first two hours haha. It's a new thing for me...

    Confused by the manual of the L2501 HST

    I'm new to the world of tractors. I want to go into it with knowledge, but I need seat time. Hopefully soon.

    Confused by the manual of the L2501 HST

    There is stuff in the manual that others posted here for the L2501 that isn't in the one I downloaded from Kubota. It says 2014? Maybe I have the wrong one but that's the only one I could find. Maybe there are a number of revisions made for each year model. Even though the tractors are probably...

    Confused by the manual of the L2501 HST

    I think the L2501 and L3301 are pretty much the same except HP but the L3901 is definitely a little different...dare I say on the slightly more "premium" side? I thought the L3901 is bigger but it also uses the LA525/526 loader. I know the L4xxx series is the big frame models with even larger...

    Confused by the manual of the L2501 HST

    So this is what I concluded after researching for hours. This seems to apply to atleast the later models of the L2501. The clutch is only needed to start the tractor and to engage/disengage the PTO. However it is not necessary to use the he clutch to "shift" into L-M-H ranges. You simply...

    Confused by the manual of the L2501 HST

    We all call the HST pedal the treadle pedal but Kubota calls it "speed control pedal". The manuals should be written in a way for us normal folks can understand who don't have an engineering degree, like me 🤣
