Dad bought a Ford 1500 4WD that his grandfather bought new in 1980. Japanese made and pretty darn close to Kubota aside from the paint job. 1500ish hours, 2 cylinder 19 horse diesel and gear drive. Granted it was 60*F yesterday, but she fired right up after being glowed for 20 seconds. The...

No way would adding a canopy be too much leverage on the ROPS. They are designed to handle the weight of the tractor.

My dad does the same thing with the rear windows that fold out. OP, I wonder if it***8217;d be covered under warranty. Seems like a silly failure if indeed nothing was done to it damage wise.

Very well put lugbolt. A 25 horse engine on a 40 horse platform can only do so much. It does fine in medium and low for me and thats all that really matters. If it does see road travel, its me going to the neighbors. Thats about it. Back in the day, my dad was in the market for his first L...

This thread reminded me I needed a hub cap since mine was missing one the day I bought it. I will say the customer service call was somewhat of a pain. I was told my model and serial numbers were incorrect and that the s/n should have a LSxxxxx. No such thing on my model. There’s a s/n sticker...

I bought a Orscheln Farms splitter for $800 last Back Friday. Should be the same as Tractor Supply and also made by Speeco IIRC. I was originally worried about it being too small, but it handles massive pieces of dead Elm just fine. I can’t complain. It’s also small enough for me to move by...

The L2501 is gutless in high and should only be used with no substantial loads on level ground or downhill. It sounds normal to me. Are you gently pressing the pedal until you hit full speed? Also, how fast are you going while in high? Low and medium gears should be used whenever possible...

Zerex G05 is an excellent well rounded long life coolant. It is the factory coolant for older Chrysler and Ford products too. You did good. In a newer machine, I***8217;d probably use Kubota coolant though. You might try doing the opposite water to coolant ratio for better cooling later on.

To be fair, the dealer does not know the 2020 incentives. I was told that late 2018 for the year 2019 with my particular setup, but as far as I can tell, they have not changed.

Id love to hear your story. Sounds like a dealer issue more so than a corporate issue, but I also understand how a bad dealer experience can make you dislike the brand.

I would test this theory by completely removing them from the tractor for a test run. It would cost nothing and you would only be out a few hours.

I had a difficult time clearing snow with just the FEL.. Gouged the driveway too. When I first bought my L, I think the loader valve would stick too. Sometimes itd float and other times itd pick up the front of the tractor and certainly wasnt functioning as smooth as my dads Grand L. Been...

So the BX is small and somewhat capable, but not as maneuverable and capable as you would like in comparison to say the smaller B. I could have told you that and I have never ran either of them. Just dont be the guy complaining about the Japanese and their small hands and how small and...

Right now, I am wishing I bought a BH initially.

Some Bs of this vintage have 3 place hour meters so you may want to look into that. I would buy based on condition personally.

That’s a good idea. I’ll see if I can pick one up today during my adventure to Orscheln Farms.

Holy smokes. It takes 10 years to grow a Christmas tree? I figured they were some sort of fast growing hybrids. We have a little 3 foot fake tree. Just got married this year and this tree was given to us by a lady that was downsizing. Free is good. I would like to get real.. love the way...

Can you take the part to the hardware store? Should be a tapered pipe thread.

What is the shelf life of diesel fuel? If anyone is concerned about fuel contamination, get a small storage tank with a spin on fuel filter. It should be getting filtered at the gas station, but if not and/ or if one is concerned, you would be good.

This is the same concept as bowl in and bowl out rims. Many people (here included) do it all the time. No issues whatsoever IMO. This is just for the tears of course. Not seeing the point for the fronts.
