Lots of 2501s on this forum, myself included. While I do not mow with it, the HST is amazing for loader work. I have R1 AG tires because I do a lot of work in the mud. If you're dry I would guess the other options would work. Plenty of reading on this forum about types of rear mowers. My next...

I want a flail mower to replace my rotary cutter. Been looking at the Woodmaxx 6' with hammer blades for my mole mounds and uneven areas. I have not used a finish mower but based upon many hours of internet I think I'll go with the flail when I can afford it.

Ea tooth bar on 2501. I move alot of dirt and rock with this thing. I almost bought the EA bucket but didn't want to wait. My ag tires get pretty squishy with a full load.

There is no way you can estimate how many years of life any machine has based on usage. My local rental yard has Kubota tractors, skid steers, excavators, all with 4000+ hours. They are all beat to crap daily by renters. There's line between working a tractor hard, as a diesel tractor is...

I've rented excavators several times and while they are good for trenching and lifting, shallow excavating is tough especially with my lack of skill and a smaller bucket. I would not attempt without a tooth bar. Any tooth bar. The stock bucket is awful. The longer ramp you have, the deeper you...

I direct buried a cable due to price of conduit. It was cheaper to rent a machine and put it 5' deep. Dug about 250' 4-5' deep in clay in 6 hours of machine time. Hit the clay lottery, my bucket only filled up a few times, and the rest of the times I would pull out 2-3 feet at a time as it would...

I don't have an MX but my ea tooth bar works well. I'm using it to scrape about 4' of clay back into a ditch. With the right moisture it peels the clay back perfect. Plenty of threads with debate in them about various manufacturers. I think any tooth bar will help 1000%. I can also dig to about...

Just got mine installed today. Quality is top notch and worth the wait. I'm still working on the hose routing as I like to drop the box blade below the tires sometimes.

Easy buddy. You're the one with the passive aggressive "i'm not just not good at math". You never stated your conditions and neither did he. Nowhere in any Kubota manual does it recommend a 6' mower for a 2501 sized tractor. A quality implement dealer will tell you the same thing. I stand...

In no way will the L2501 be able to run a 6' mower. Your dealer is an idiot if he told you that. A 6' mower is almost as long and 1/3 the weight of a 2501. My 45HP tractor struggles sometimes with a 5' mower in heavy 6' grass. I haven't hooked it up to my 2501 but I'm guessing it would suck more.

Got my ea toothbar installed and put a few hours on it until it started sleeting. Temps dropping to low teens- don't know how you northerners with open station do it. Neither me or my tractor is prepared for single digit operating. I probably moved about 15-20 tons judging by the size of the...

If all you're planting is sunflowers, you can throw and mow or just broadcast and drive over them. They are the easiest seed to grow. I wouldn't buy a plow just for sunflowers. I would buy a rototiller and cultipacker if I was serious into gardening or food plotting. I don't have enough time...

I have two tractors but one of them was 3k and is for mowing duty only. I've seen alot of MXs on Facebook. A Cabbed model with 50 hours dropped to around 40K after being on there for 6 months. Maybe a scam...I don't know. I can appreciate a good used machine but I'm not going to blow 40K in...

That's nuts on the rock pricing. I was getting ripped off until I found an honest hauler that gives me 18 tons for $240. He paid $7/ton for crusher run and showed me the receipt. So he made about $100 to haul five miles. I'm not sure how it works where you are at but all of our haulers are...

Thought I would be smart and make a two post outdoor stand for my grapple. Old oilfield pipe, one bag of concrete, and a piece of 100 year old wood from an old bridge. It works...but I definitely underestimated hydraulics and their ability to knock a post loose. Did it on the first try. Oh well...

I'm lucky enough to have 4 blue limestone quarries within 3 miles of my place. I put the geoGRID down on a wet spot and filled it in with gravel. Poor man's road. Haven't lost any due to sinking.

1. You want geoGRID not fabric. Fabric is for weeds or soil separation between different types of soil/rock. 2.you want 1.5" crusher run as a base. I spread 150 tons of it with a 2WD geared tractor. 3. Rain will compact it down and make it like concrete. I would get it delivered by a dump...

Very sorry this happened and I hope it works out. I know it's no consolation but I bought a used 50+ year old tractor from a trusted family member. He told about several of the oil leaks. He didn't tell me about the other 10 leaks because he didn't know. I've put a bunch of money into that...

My tooth bar shipped after 26 days including the holidays. I wanted the bucket but didn't want to wait. I figure the wait for anything EA right now is well past 6 months due to the huge order influx before the price increase. I hope the new factory building cuts down on some lead times by summer.

The snow and heavy wind is not something we deal with here. The main advantage of post frame is you don't have to put a floor in which is why they make great haybarns. My next building will be steel if I can afford it. Plenty of reading for days over on garage journal about all types of buildings.
