For those of you coming up on the 100 hour maintenance of your L2501, L3301 or L3901 tractor. Here is the full 100 hour maintenance video. In addition to walking you step-by-step through the maintenance tasks, I'll tell you what problems you might have that your manual doesn't cover. I'll also...

Thanks for the input. I'll grant you that the L60 is a very different animal, but I was pretty sure the L2501 has the same chasis as the 3301 and 3901, with the big difference being the L2501 doesn't have the DPF. I mention this in the video. Am a wrong about the L2501?

Recently I completed the 400 hour maintenance on my L3901 and it occurred to me that I was doing all the steps of the 50 hour, 100 hour, and 200 hour maintenance milestone as well. So I am in the process making a video for each of these milestones with the video I shot for the 400 hour...

That's what I had to do. A razor knife followed by a little WD-40 goes a long way toward getting it loose!

So true! I have the Quick-On Backhoe Bucket Connector, the ripper, the 4" trenching bucket and the factory mount thumb. On the whole, very pleased with them. As I recall, it usually took a couple of weeks after ordering them to receive them, which was not a problem for me.

I had a similar great experience with BXpanded. I had a Quick-On Backhoe Bucket Connector break, which shouldn't happen. I sent them pictures of the broken one and they shipped me a new one at no charge. I was already a BXpanded fan and now I am even more so! They stand behind their products!

If I understand what you are asking, you need to take off the 3 point hardware to attach the backhoe to the subframe. The bolts on the bottom 3 point lift arm pins are plenty strong to hold the pins in place. Hope this helps!

That's a very useful site I didn't know about! I've got it bookmarked now. Thanks for sharing it!

If you backhoe is a 3 point mount, you need to be careful that you don't snap your tractor in half due to the forces on while using and carrying the backhoe. If you happen to have a subframe on the tractor, you'll be fine.

That sounds like a good tip! I'll remember if my tractor develops a leak. Thanks!

Thank you Roadworthy! I see you beat me to it!
