    Who sells rear wheel weights for the L2501?

    How did the weights turn out? Do you have a picture of them mounted?

    Mowing Grass - Help With My Next Mower, Please

    I bought a used Hustler super mini Z with 800 hours for 1K a few years ago. I think it is a 2003 or 2004 model. It had 800 hours on it and now the hour gauge is broken. I'm not sure how fast it's supposed to go. Fast enough to throw me out of the seat. It has a 44" deck which is plenty for me...

    EverythingMoneyAttachments. All the money up front?

    How many weeks? I have grapple envy. I can pretend i wouldn't go out until it's cold and no bugs. But if i had it now i would be putting some hours on.

    I’m two weeks behind you. Bummer. I won’t call for a while.

    EverythingMoneyAttachments. All the money up front?

    Obviously you missed the joke - the post above referencing mutual funds and paying stuff off. I find it hilarious the hate for EA on here. If you don't like it, don't buy it!

    EverythingMoneyAttachments. All the money up front?

    I'm 4 weeks into a probable 16 week wait for my grapple. Even longer for my top n tilt. If i order tractor parts online and they take 6 weeks to arrive, I still have to pay up front. I'm fine with it. I invest in mutual funds also.

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Did one of those stupid things that you know are stupid but still do them anyways. Got the zero turn stuck in the creek. Got a few scratches on the rops. Breaking it in.

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    $3000 for dealer installed top and tilt: fair?

    I just bought a 2501 with two rear float remotes. Parts took a week to get to the dealer. Here’s how they priced it: float valve: 375x2 = 750 1st pos lever kit : 388 2nd pos lever kit: 690 total: 1828 not counting tax. I did not order the cylinders from Kubota. I ordered them from fit rite...

    In case this helps anyone else, check your axle. Mine took 3 quarts. Dealer paid for it.

    Difference in 3rd function valves?

    Might try another dealer. My dealer ordered and installed a landpride kit in a week.

    Mini / backhoe advice

    I will definitely check that when I get back to the tractor. The dealer already had to come out once with a mobile tech because the 3 point wouldn’t lift. Between the front third function and 2 remotes, lots of hoses going on. He had to swap two lines. I wasn’t there to watch it, but it works...

    Well here she is about 3 weeks later. Showed up with .3 hours. They had one sitting in the crate. Took a few weeks for all the valves to come in. I checked the nearby mega dealer with multiple stores and they were substantially higher than my local store 15 minutes away. They said 2501's are...

    L2501 price

    My most recent quote: 2501 4wd hst Loader 3rd function Two rear float remotes Pallet forks Rimguard Grapple 24K exluding tax and KTAC. Need to be careful with other people's quotes because they dont specify if they include KTAC or tax. KTAC is 2-3k.

    Mini / backhoe advice

    Thanks for the detailed response. I'm thinking about just getting an l2501 HST and renting or paying the other work. I should be able to get a 2501 with top and tilt, grapple, and forks for under 30k. I'll keep the 135, I like the history of it and its not really depreciating much beyond the 2k...

    U17 mini excavator - the good, the bad?

    If your serious about buying you could ask a dealer for a demo. If they wont let you haul it they might bring it to a job site. Or rent whatever is in the 3000lb class from a local rental center and it will be close enough to show you if it works. It's not the HP, it's the weight.

    U17 mini excavator - the good, the bad?

    I have rented several u25s and u35. U25s have a hard time with heavy clay at 4'. It was a miserable experience with a 12" bucket. I had to use the teeth on the bucket to scrape it out. This was a 250' trench 4' deep, so your experience may be better. U35 runs much better than a u25(u27) and...
