    QH-15 Quick Hitch - implement bushing question

    Got tired of fighting with hooking up 3-point implements and bought a QH-15 Quick Hitch for my 2501. I like everything about it except the price. The guys at Six & Mango in Grand Prairie had the best price. Well worth the 50 minute drive. It came with two 7/8 ID 1 1/8 OD bushings that went...

    Wife wants an arena. Hubby wants a road groomer.

    Picked up a GS1560 for my new L2501. What a great implement for roads and driveways. I highly recommend it and wish I had picked one up sooner. GS1560 sacarifiers aren't long enough for what I want to do in the field to start an arena so I had the wife pick up a single tine subsoiler from...

    Anyone using Pallet Forks with a Man Cage?

    Thanks for the video link. Craigslist Dallas has lots of totes available cheap.

    Anyone using Pallet Forks with a Man Cage?

    Thanks for all the safety tips but at the age of 65 and having owned/used tractors for 40 years this is not my first rodeo. No use whatsoever for a pole saw. Using a chemical tote pallet is thinking out of the box. I like that. Was thinking of welding up my own design if I can find the time...

    Land Pride GS1560 Grader Scraper w/L2501

    I saw your comments in the implements forum. I appreciate the input. I've never had much success with a conventional box blade. Maybe I just didn't know how to use it properly.

    Implement & Gravel Size?

    Very nice. Your pic shows a GS1548. How do you like it.? I just picked up a GS1560 for my tractor. I'm looking for any pointers you can share.

    GS1560 vs GS0560

    I bought the exact same implement for my 2501 to groom my access road and driveway. What is you opinion as to how it works? You said you would report back. Where's the report???? :)

    Anyone using Pallet Forks with a Man Cage?

    I bought my Kubota 2501 with a quick disconnect bucket. Pull the two levers up and unhook. I need to cut back trees and wild grape vines that have overgrown my access road and I need to trim the trees in my Pecan orchard. My thinking is to use Pallet Forks and a lift bucket to gain access to...

    Land Pride GS1560 Grader Scraper w/L2501

    I bought one of these to groom my driveway and home access road. It came complete with 4 scarifiers. Any tricks to using it? Things need to dry out a bit before I put it to work. I have high expectations for leveling out ruts and high spots.

    Kubota 2501 owners - tractor idle question

    Thanks for all the good inputs. Now I know it is behaving properly. Nice little rig. I only have 6 acres so this compact tractor is perfectly sized. I got the 525 bucket and also picked up a GS1560 Grader Scraper. I brought with me to TX from NY a 3-point hitch Caddy (forks) that I...

    Kubota 2501 owners - tractor idle question

    Very first post on this forum. I had my new L2501 tractor delivered this week. This is my 3rd Kubota in 30 years. Here's my question. At initial startup, my experience is - at cold start the tractor will go to a fast idle (~ 1100 rpm) then once it warms up the idle will fall back to ~ 750...
