I went by Empire Cat on I-10 heading toward Tucson and I couldn't look away....all that heavy equipment there, hundreds and hundreds of excavators, dump trucks, dozers, bucket loaders as far as the eye could see.

I saw signs for Kubota dealerships but I didn't see anyone using a Kubota anywhere! They might be shy in Arizona.

So I been away for a week visiting Arizona & Nevada. Got back home and talked to the tractor make sure she was alright. No drips so must've been fine without me, it didn't cry. Anyways...man first time being out west...what a different world. Got to see all sorts of stuff. Sedona was amazing...

Whoops! That's hot.

Too hot to do much outside today, mid 90s and humid. But needed to water the newly seeded area. So I atleast did that today with the tractor but that was pretty much it. Nothing much. Noticed I flipped the seat up? Nobody likes a hot butt.

Someone stole it??

It felt fine, loaded tires too probably helped. But it didn't feel bad at all, tractor stayed firmly planted even going down an incline. Low range and 4wd zero issues.

Plus 130 pounds for the tote and my guess around 200 for the forks and frame I was probably nearly maxing it but not too bad at all.

So I took a chance and filled the 275g IBC tote with 150 gallons of water. I couldn't believe it but the L2501 had no issues picking it up and moving it to it's destination. I'm impressed with this tractor for what it can do and never seems to break a sweat at doing anything. The rear 640lbs...

Oh that's a lot bigger filter than mine haha

I got mine for the L2501 and it was like $12

That's a great idea. Luckily I have a spare 6x6 that's at the perfect size. It's overkill for what I need but I didn't feel like paying $170 for a tractor supply water tank that was only 35 gallons.

It's a little bigger than I wanted but it will get the job done.

Picked up an IBC tote today. $100...ugh little more than I wanted to spend but I'm in Vermont and they are hard to find sometimes. This one was clean, just had organic agave syrup in it. Brand new tote as well. It was emptied last week and it's in really good shape and still had paper work and...

I added some gussets to the ballast box to reinforce the pins. They work great! Definitely doesn't bend now and easier to hook up and take off.

I was cleaning the tractor a bit this morning and noticed this. The hard lines going to the loader are starting to rust. I'm pretty concerned about this. Would it be ok to take a stainless brush and clean it off and spray with protectant?

I fixed it, but gonna add some gussets.

So I fixed it, but soon as I lifted it back up they bent a little so I will be strengthening that up for sure. No wonder why Land Pride updated this model to have gussets and what not. Must be they were getting bent! No big deal, should be easy to cut some scrap metal I got and add some...

Luckily I have a BFH standing by.

Soooo I just noticed the Land Pride WB10 weight box I have is messed up. Where you slide the lift arms onto the pins is bent on both sides outwords making it INCREDIBLY difficult to get on and off. I looked up pictures and they are straight. I'm wondering why they're bent? I'm thinking about...
