My hearing is pretty bad - constant ringing. It's not the strikes, or explosions, it's the fire fights (route clearance makes getting ambushed easy). The Army expects you to wear hearing protection - which doesn't really make sense with radio comms. And truth be told, while I am prior service...

mdhughes (or whomever else wants to chime in...), I don't know anything about geared tractors, but from what I understand, they aren't quite like standard shift in cars. I don't fully understand the relationship between gear, throttle setting, and speed. My question is this, for "precision...

Brady says: "The four rear remotes = two valves. The L3301 will accept three valves or 6 remotes." Quite honestly, makes even less sense to me now. More importantly, I'm getting cold feet about the HST. I'm a standard shift guy - for all the reasons you might think. However, I'm finding that...

Thanks all. I'd like to keep record of it and post as I travel. Might keep me awake as I'm careening solo west at a speed limited 55 mph. mdhughes, that is a direct "cut-n-paste" of what Barlows sent me. And you pose a great question; I'll have to send them an email. I was thinking it was...

So - after much waffling, I've settled on the L3301. It has been a process... I started at Home Depot. Settled on the B23S. Settled on the B2301. Then was pretty firm on the L2501. Took another look at the L3301\3901. Almost bit on the 3901, but figured it needed to stop somewhere... I've made...

haha - good point! However, in my case, it's "P for payment!" Barlow Equipment prices might get me into a L3301, but I think (and given many of TunaSlayer's posts - as the resident L2501 expert), I'm going to stick with the L2501, the EA 66" Extreme Duty box blade, some RimGuard in the R4s and...

I'm surprised you'd ask. "P for plenty." ;) "Sappers Up!" Essayons!

Interesting points all, and thank you. All quite similar takes as well - in fact ones I hadn't really thought of (and driven home by MtnViewRanch). A 4701? Cripes... I started my research 4 weeks ago at Home Depot riding mowers. How did I get here??!! LoL I'm a Soldier - money is most...

The range of tractors that I'm looking at for my new 5 acre property (Closing 21NOV, moving from GA 04DEC) in Colorado Springs is B2301 up to L2501 (and everything in between). One of the initial tasks over the next year is to grade the lot. There are considerable berms and dips where an old...

Having never sat in any seats (of any kind), I stopped by the Augusta, GA Kubota dealer on the way home from post. I walked the yard. 2-3 BX23s, few other BX. 1 L2501, several L33, L39, L47s. No B models of any type. Thought it was odd that no L on the lot had HST; only gears. I had assumed...

All, thanks for the welcome and the advice. Firstly, the wife comment was generally tongue-in-cheek. My other hobby is woodworking – large, expensive, and generally “wants” vs “needs” purchases are common ground for us. Additionally, I’ve been married – well, 29 years this month. I’m pretty...

Hello all - First post. I'm being transferred from GA to Ft. Carson, CO around 01DEC. We are, hopefully, closing on a property near Colorado Springs with about 3 acres. I've never owned a riding mower, a snowblower, a tractor - or even rented anything like that. Yes, complete neophyte.... It...
