    Cold weather OPEN station snow plowing/blowing.

    Yep, your experience pretty much mirrors my worst experience moving snow on my property in my open station too. I only lasted about 20 minutes last time this happened. Even wearing good gear. Often times I wait it out and clear the driveway the next day. Moving forward, I think I’m gonna buy...

    Confused by the manual of the L2501 HST

    Just wait until you run and operate the tractor for hours with the parking brake engaged…I know I’ve done it, lol You’ll be back on the forum asking what kind of potential damage you did to your L2501. :D Don’t worry too much…you bought a really really good, reliable and simple tractor. It...

    I just bought my first tractor!

    ^^^^^ It’ll be fine. Just grease the loader fittings when you get home and it’s really difficult to see the hydraulic level through the site glass in certain lighting conditions. It’s probably okay. Take another peak when you get ready to take it home. Mike

    I just bought my first tractor!

    Once I can get my hands on an L2502 for 2-4 weeks and time on the shop schedule, we’ll have a Turbo kit for it. It’s just a matter of time. Mike

    The Turbo Kit will improve performance significantly, especially at your elevation (and higher)…..even with the factory fuel settings! Less smoke, lower EGT’s and your L2501 will perform like you are operating at sea level but with a touch more power. With fuel adjustments, it’ll behave like...

    ^^^^ We’re working on several Turbo Kits at the moment, with many, many more on Back-Order. We’re doing our best to get these built as quickly as possible. The OEM Kubota/Mitsubishi MHI Turbochargers are also on Back-Order complicating things further. We have lots of those on Order too. What...

    Are Kioti tractors really a better value on paper compared to Kubota?

    ^^^^^ This was my experience when comparing Kubota vs. Kioti when I bought my B2601 and later, my L2501. There wasn’t any significant savings or incentives to go with the Kioti over the Kubota. And, my Kubota dealers, were much better. Easy choice. And, in all honesty, the Massey’s were the...

    I recommend adding a vacuum “T” fitting between the Turbo compressor housing and boost actuator. Edit: We do include a vacuum T fitting (hose and hardware) if the optional gauge kit is selected. However, we are still lacking installation instructions for this option. :( I need to get this done...

    The oil drain fitting is a somewhat new ‘off-the-shelf’ component we source from a vendor. When/if we get around to designing and manufacturing one ourselves, it’ll be one piece and smaller in dimension. Unfortunately, no. Our focus has been filling orders and completing projects. I’m jealous...

    Thank you! It took us some time to find the correct radius/bend for the Turbo exit pipe. It was trickier than originally anticipated. Im not sure about your engine but, the set screw will be located somewhere on your injection pump. And, will likely have a security cap…which might help you...

    Good eye. Yes, Lawrence decided to move the EGT location…I’m not sure why, he didn’t ask. We have had one issue with probe interference with new location, while other guys had no issues whatsoever. He is either going to lower the EGT hole or return it to the original location for current/new...

    I haven’t had the time to get my tractor back to the dyno but, a recent dyno with the new Turbo pipes matched my 35 PTO HP with 2 1/4 turns of fuel. If memory serves me correctly, that’s the 4th L2501 Turbo to match my L2501. Yes. The HP/PTO HP is much higher than my estimated 45%. The...
