    Advice on what to buy

    I have 20 acres to play with and opted for the L2501 in 2018 after asking some of the same questions you're asking. So far, no regrets. I have heard a few stories about issues people have had with the emissions on tractors with >25hp so that was a deciding factor for me. One commenter told...

    L2501 or bigger?

    Thanks for the advice, Bruce. I don't plan on digging out any trees. There are a few suitable cleared areas on our 20 acres for house, RV pad, and a couple of acres to plant. Your tractor looks awesome and I'm glad you are enjoying it. I pass Mesquite everytime I head to Cedar so I know...

    L2501 or bigger?

    I certainly appreciate all the comments, insight, and suggestions. I put my order in for an L2501 with quick disconnect bucket and BH77 backhoe. I also purchased the HD25 hydraulic auger but opted to rent the bit as the 9" bit from Landpride is $379.00. I can rent several bits for that price...

    L2501 or bigger?

    Thank you for the comment. I'm going to do some research on the diesel particulate filter and everything that I'll have to deal with if I go bigger than a 25 hp motor but I'm pretty set on getting the L2501 because of price alone and the fact that everyone is saying it will do the jobs I need...

    Thanks Bruce. Since we're starting this project from scratch, we have to keep an eye on all costs so I think the L2501 will have to do. I thank you for sharing your thoughts.

    Sounds like a great way to clear some land, and provide nutrients for the ground. Thanks for sharing.

    L2501 or bigger?

    Thank you sir. Honestly, I'd love to have a "big boy" tractor, but, as I clarified in a recent reply, my original post was a bit misleading. Sure, we have 20 acres, but we'll only develope about 5 of it, and that 5 is already cleared, so it's mainly trenching, post holes, and tilling that I'll...

    L2501 or bigger?

    My original post was a bit misleading. While it's true that our 20 acres has nothing but Juniper trees on it, I don't plan on removing more than a couple. There's a clearing where we plan on building our house/barn, and another ~1-2 acre area where we'll plant fruit trees and have a large...

    L2501 or bigger?

    Thank you very much for sharing the information. I don't know anything about the capabilities of the different BH choices but I thought the power or strength of the implement or attachment was totally dependent on the GPM the tractor was able to put out, so I'm confused as to how one BH would...

    L2501 or bigger?

    Greetings All, We are developing a 20 acre parcel in southern Utah into a farm, from scratch. The land is mostly wooded with nothing but Juniper trees and a well. Recently, I rented a BX25 to dig a trench and move the dirt into a pile, but aside from that, I've never used a Kubota...
