    Traded my L2501 HST for a Kioti DK4210SE

    Figured I'd throw my two cents in. First congrats on the new tractor. Apparently there are many here that don't like kioti for one reason or another. Since you purchased one, again congrats, it's always a fun time with a new tractor. That being said, I personally have not had great experience...

    Sickle mower

    I borrowed one from a friend and have used it on my old l2501 and the new l4060le. It's a newholland 451 and works great. The only issue is the top arms for the 3 point aren't wide enough for the suspension to operate correctly. I actually have a couple videos of it on my you tube channel. Look...

    Considering a used/new Kubota L4060

    I just picked up a 4060le hstc rops with 805 loader and r4 tires for 32k so I'd 35 for one with 72hrs is a great deal. I'd jump all over it!

    Tractor sizing and New vs. Used ?s

    For comparison sake, I had a buddy price a new 3901 with fel,5'disk, 6'bush hog, tiller and a trailer and it came in at about 32k before tax. That is the la525 loader which says it will lift 1155 lbs at the pivot pins at full height. 2000lbs is a stretch for sure. Might have to find some used...

    What is this?

    Has anyone suggested a lock for a seat swivel? Just asking because I found one on mine today. Although no backhoe and not enough room to turn completely around it's still there.

    40-50 HP buying advice

    This is my new ride, got it yesterday evening. No fel yet because of inventory issues but 5hrs on it just mowing. Was between this and a 4701. Creature comfort and loader capacity won.

    40-50 HP buying advice

    The 2501 33 and 39 all have the same la525 loader. The math is multiply 2.2 by the loader model and that gives you the lift capacity at the pins I believe. The l3560 and up have the option for 2 different loaders, the la805 is the largest loader available for those models. Imo you will always be...

    40-50 HP buying advice

    I just picked up a l4060le (40hp) which is a step up from my l2501 which you can get in a 39hp. The 2501 was very maneuverable around the house and woods but my first impressions on the 4060 has alot of the creature comforts for a long day on the tractor. Its definitely a larger but very nimble...

    3560le or 4701?

    Thank you ctfjr, I believe I have decided on the 3560le hst no cab with a 805 loader. It's slightly heavier than the 4701 but that allows it to have a slightly larger lift capacity. I plan on owning this tractor for a long while so some of the creature comforts will go a long way and what has...

    3 point arms

    Do they move up and down freely when the tractor is running?

    3 point arms

    It's not clear in which direction they aren't moving. If they do not lower fast then the knob under your seat if adjust the rate at which they drop. They should move free side to side unless the turnbuckles have been tightened down.

    3560le or 4701?

    Hey dochsml, definitely a rops no question. The maneuverability is something I hadn't really thought about but is a definite factor. I was getting hung up on lift capacity for sure. Thanks for the advice.

    3560le or 4701?

    That is actually somewhat hard to believe but an excellent reference. I clear about 1/2 an acre every winter to cleanup during the spring and I get some logs my 525 won't lift. I can sure scoot them anywhere I need to go though!

    3560le or 4701?

    I knew there had to be a method to the loader numbers madness. This makes sense for sure.

    3560le or 4701?

    Thanks guys, I've always found it easy to spend others money! I haven't been able to find the lift capacity of the 725 loader but looking at the mx I'd say will be a decent difference. I will be talking to some of the local dealerships tomorrow for sure. If I can get a mx for a little more than...

    3560le or 4701?

    Because of the limited stock most dealers are running on right now it has been very difficult to find one where I could do a side by side. They either have one or the other but not both. I had not considered the mx series as a possibility. I was really trying to stick around the 30k mark but it...

    3560le or 4701?

    The 2501 has done everything I've ever asked of it and more. It is honestly an excellent machine. I had not considered the mx series but I will check into it for sure.
