    L2501

    Hello, I am looking to buy a L2501 in gear drive 4wd. with front end loader. I would like to pull a finish mower with this tractor and a 5 ft. Brush hog type cutter. My bigger tractor is to big to get into some areas and tears up my lawn. I also like the fact that it would be easy to trailer to...

    MX 4800 Gear Noise

I have decided to buy a bigger used tractor at this point to stay away from DPF. I am considering a L2501 for light duty work around the house but I will start a new forum for...

    MX 4800 Gear Noise

    Hello, I test drove a new MX 4800 gear drive 4wd the other day, that tractor is the right size for my needs. The dealer had it a few dollars less than the L4701. I owned a m4800su for several years my only gripe was after the transmission got warmed up the gear whine was terrible...

    Grand L cab

    Hello, I was thinking about a grand L with cab. Do you have to go with the HSTC transmission to get the cab? It appears that you cannot get the cab with a gear transmission. Thank You

    opinion Grand L 3940

    Hello, I test drove a L3800 gear transmission and a L3800 HST today. I have to agree with Iguide on the hydro, I did not care for it much. At first I thought it was quiet until I turned around and drove up hill. That thing was just plain loud. I then drove a L3800 gear drive I must say that...

    L3800 vs L3940

    Hello, I am looking to buy a L3800 or step up to a Grand L. I am wondering how much transmission whine could be expected out of a L3800 with a gear transmission? Would a Grand L 3940 with a GST transmission have any whine? Would one be any quieter than the other? I cannot stand a transmission...

    m4800 transmission whine

    I wonder if m4800 has straight or helical gears ? This thing makes you want to wear ear plugs. It whines loud enough to hurt your ears. Maybe someone with m4800 experience will chime in. I remember back when tractor transmissions used heavy weight gear oil. I wish they were still built that way.
