You'll be much happier with the L3301 or L2501 for what you are trying to do nowadays. So I do disagree with your opinion.
Difference L2501 and L3901
- Thread starter Mudball
- Start date
For resale alone I would buy the FEL.
For me it is my most used attachment. Second is the ballast block. Third is the rake, then the tiller, then the hydraulic auger.
One point about the FEL/3pt.
Yes you can drag 3pt implements around without the FEL, however the FEL ENHANCES many of them.
Weight - much better 4x4 traction
Rake - I always end up with piles that the FEL takes care of.
Tiller - buckets and buckets full of rocks in the FEL - or do you guys just leave or carry the rocks?
Box Blade - Buckets and buckets of rocks and materials.
Hog - The FEL is your early warning system as well brush guard.
Mowing tall grass - early warning system.
Stump grinder - clean up all the mess.
Add to that that the FEL is no longer "just a bucket" with SSQA.
For me,
Bucket
Grapple
Hydraulic post hole digger
Hydraulic cement mixer
Power angle snow plow
Snow Box
Forks
etc. etc. etc.
The FEL isn't just for breakfast anymore.

If you were able to think about buying the L3901 - you should be able to buy the loader with the L2501. For me, not getting the FEL was not an option. You spend that much for the tractor, you need to spend a few more for the FEL.
FEL: more than it says. I even use it as a simple way to haul a bunch of tools from my basement to my work area when I'm doing work on the outside of the house, or as a dump bucket for debris on a remodeling project (park the tractor with the bucket just outside the window, throw the drywall and other debris into the bucket, dump into truck for disposal when done). There always seems to be something new to use it for.
Nah man, I've done it a few times myself.Son of a bitch... twice in one week(closest to a jac.kass as I could get...)
