    Mistery rock bucket

    I just got this new rock bucket. I found it on kijiji in the ottawa area. Once I contacted the owner, I found out it was actually a company that has a warehouse in montreal and toronto. The bucket is 1250$. I have not seen anything under 2000$ anywhere. So that was suspicious. The owner told...

    L2502 3ph

    Does anyone know if there is an upgrade kit, or some kind of hack, to make the 3ph installation easier on this tractor? On my b2601, swapping the backhoe with the 3ph arms was very easy because it was toolless. On the l2502, I need a wrench. Of course, it's not a big deal. But i'd be ready to...

    Valve leak troubleshooting

    I have this Vevor valve that I use for my rear aux. The female quick connects are positioned verticaly, so facing up. While operating the tractor, and without using the valve, I notice that the QCs fill up with oil. What this tells me is that the valve is seeping oil, and the 4 QCs also...

    Oil filter change on L2502

    I need to do my 50h service on the L2502. I've already changed the engine oil filter and the HST filter. I now need to change the "inlet filter" with I believe is the hydraulic filter. I wanna know if that's gonna bleed a lot of oil. I'm planning on doing this in the field instead of the...

    Advice for rake

    I have a 4 acres property that I want to maintain. I wanna be able to rake debris like shown in pictures I'm thinking I could use a rake like a LR1660. I need a few advices: Would it be overkill to own this? Is it the kind of thing I'm gonna do once and won't need the implement anymore? Or...

    Chain box for L2502

    I've built a box in front of my l2502. It's a great place to store chains. The 2601 did not have enough room in the front for this. 48$ worth of metal. Making holes is not something I like. I don't think I have the right equipment. It's costing me a fortune in drill bits and it's a slow...

    Garage door height

    My garage door opening is high enough for my new tractor but the door would need to open up higher. I can push it higher, so I thought I could have someone stiffen up the spring so it pulls back more on it. But the contractor said he'd need to change the rails. Does that make sense? What is the...

    L2502 review

    One week ago, I traded my b2601 for a L2502. I'd like to share my impressions. The bh77 is definitely an upgrade over the bh70. The added reach is noticeable. The 180 degrees swing is a big improvement. 24" bucket makes digging faster and the "power" of the backhoe is a lot better. Having a...

    Snow blower wings

    I recently bought a L2501, so my 54" snowblower is too narrow now. It would've cost 2.5k$ to exchange for a new 66" blower. So I decided to build a set of wings. I get 4" more each side. I have no idea how well that's gonna work but it's worth to try. 30$ worth of metal.

    L2502 QD couplers

    Can someone confirm what types of QD couplers are used on the hydraulic hoses of the BH77? The part diagram shows "Kubota NIPPLE, 3/8 NIP HNV28NPTM - 7J417-66220" I believe these would be 3/8 iso7241-B. Correct? I'm in Canada if that is useful to know.

    Hydraulic Thumb on BH77

    I've seen a few post where people talk about how to rig this up. I think I get the idea, but I'd like it if someone could confirm that this design is safe: Edit: I mean "bote", not "stroke" 2" bore is ok? I should I go 3" I understand the 2 pressure reliefs are required to avoid building too...

    Trading in for a l2502

    I'm about to trade in my b2601 for a L2502. I have r14 tires on the b2601 and they're good. But not so much in mud or in snow. So I'm considering getting industrial tires and the l2502. Would it make a big difference in mud and in snow? Would I still need chains in snow? If I still need chains...

    Need confirmation that chatgpt is not wrong

    Before searching this forum, I decided to ask a question to chatgpt. Can someone confirm the accuracy of the response? The details of it make it sound pretty accurate. My question: I own a kubota b2601 and I need to do the hydraulic oil change for the 400h maintenance. Do I need to also change...

    Building a bike rack

    I'm looking to build my own bike rack because I hate the one I have. I'm kinda limited with options since I drive a corolla (that's what happens when you spend everything you have on a tractor). The current bike rack I have is a bad design. The bar that holds the bike down has this clamp that...

    Looking for advices for installing cedar posts

    I need to install about 10 cedar posts of 8" diameter. The soil here is rather rocky, so I think I would be wasting my money if I rented a gas powered post hole digger.I'm thinking I can just use my BH to dig 3' deep holes and then put a 10" sonotube in the ground. How tricky is it going to be...

    Oring popping out

    I have a Vevor valve that I bought for cheap from china. I use it as my rear valve for my snowblower and wood splitter. I understand that this valve is cheap but I never had a problem until today. On the pressure side, the connection is ORB. Today, while splitting wood, the oring popped out on...

    Rear weight for L3301

    My father in law wanted a rear weight since he doesn't have a backhoe. I had a few concrete blocks from a wall I cut off 2 years ago. I estimate it weighs around 500lbs. Only goof I made is that the 3ph attachement is too low. So I have to sit the block on something 1ft off the ground to be able...

    FEL legs on b2601

    I kept having issues with the right side pin that keeps the FEL legs up on my tractor. The pin would bend or loosen up and fall. Yesterday it happened again and the leg came off as I was pulling a tree with the bucket so the leg bent while it was dragging on the ground. The hell with this, I...

    BH70 lever broke

    I'm surprised this thing broke. We all have the habit of pulling harder on the lever to get more power out of the machine, even if we all know it makes no sense. But to the point of shearing the bolt? I didn't know this was possible. It happened while digging out a stump. I was almost there. I...

    Can someone post pics of SSQA converted bucket?

    I'd like to see what it looks like, specifically on a B2601 or any other 54" bucket. The weld-on plate looks bigger than the bucket and it seems like it would stand out higher than the top of the bucket. Also, I'm not sure how high it should be welded. A few pictures could help me figure out...
