Overall it worked well. I was able to get all the work done pretty efficiently. The cruise control was nice when I was tilling longer runs. The extra power and weight made it so I could push large piles of dirt into holes to refill them easier. The tilt steering wheel made things more...

That’s what was thinking. I wish I would have noticed before and requested the correct bucket. I asked about it when I dropped it off and was told they should have the correct bucket and didn’t know why they put the wrong one on. My biggest gripe were the HST pedals. Maybe if the seat could...

I believe so. It is a few hundred pounds heavier. A little over 3000 lbs while the L series HST is just under 3000 lbs. It’s a 40hp tractor, so more go than the lower L series. I noticed the extra weight. I didn’t notice the extra power and lift capacity as much. Although the bucket held a lot...

edited for accuracy. Yes, it is 3000lbs and 40hp. I was disappointed when using it to lift dirt and gravel, but I know lift has more to do with hydraulic pressure hp. My BX lift a full bucket of gravel/dirt just fine. I think the incorrect bucket played an issued. Probably a mismatch. It only...

You are correct. I will need to edit. It is a work master

So the BX is currently out of commission and I have a project I needed to finish up. The local rental place had a New Holland Workmaster 40 I could rent, so I went for it. I have been researching and am thinking I will upgrade from my BX to an L in the semi-near future. The Workmaster 40...

With the added torque I figured I could step up the size of the mower and tiller etc. If that turns out to be the case, then no power added needed. I mow about 3 acres of mostly open land. Tractor works well for that, but a dedicated zero turn for around the house might happen. That would be...

There are some pretty good YouTube videos with modding the timing/fuel and then doing a PTO dyno.

Yes, EGTs are a factor and even more of one on a NA diesel. I drove a NA IDI Ford for a lot of miles and added an EGT probe to keep an eye on things, especially when towing. If I were to advance the timing and add fuel to the L2501 I would also add an EGT probe to make sure. I would do it with...

The plan would be to pay cash for a used one. As far as durability at higher HP, from what I have read it appears that the L2501s engine makes mid 30s in other applications. That it was retuned to stay under the emissions limit. If you advance the IP timing and add some fuel it will make about...

This is the way I am leaning since they are comparable price wise and I don’t need a mid PTO. I have a local Kubota dealer and I am going to go sit on each and maybe see if they will let me drive them around.

sounds like a good deal.

I will probably look at those. Am I correct that due to their HP rating they are equipped with emission components and are computer controlled

Machine complexity and $$. It also depends on how you classify the term “Right machine”

So after my last project with my BX2200 I decided I need a bigger machine. Mostly just because when I am working against a clock I know the BX won’t cut it. I have narrowed it down to an L or an LX. Biggest positive for an LX is that it is smaller and would be better on my soft ground in the...

I will check it out!!

Looking at the expanded diagrams on the Kubota site it looks like I would pull the rear end/transmission and then remove the HST unit. From there I can remove the cover and get to the reag gears shown in the expanded view.

Thanks for the help

Glad to hear they aren’t too expensive. I’ve pulled vehicle MTX apart and rebuilt them before. just a little buried right now. I will give it a day and try and decide the route I want.

So now I have to decide what I want to do. Having a hard time finishing a used one. One place had one listed for $1000, but when I called it was gone. Then Messick has one for $2900…..but do I want to spend $3k on an old BX2200. I paid $6k for it to begin with
