    L2501HST 50Hr Hydraulic Fluid Change?

    L2501 HST. I know the manual doesn't call for it at 50hrs but I've seen some people suggest doing it at 50. I cant decide if I should or not. I dont mind spending the money if it's for good purpose but I'd hate to waste it if its not necessary. Also what about the front axle? 50 or 400?

    L2501 Rolls with parking brake on

    When I’m on a steep incline my l2501 will roll slowly even with parking brake engaged. It only has 21 hrs. I can tell the PB is engaging, just not enough to keep it still. Does anyone know if this is any easy adjustment or should I just take it to the dealer?

    Pit Barrel Cooker

    I seen this at Ace Hardware on sale for $199 for the full size model. They were also including a free PB brand cover ($35 value). I have looked at these before and they are normally $300-$350, so with this smoking savings I couldn’t refuse and I bought it. I haven’t got a chance to use mine yet...

    L2501 glow plug key position?

    Just wondering what key position warms the glow plugs. If I turn my key slightly to the left from the off position the glow plug indicator light comes on. If I turn it all the way to the left I can hear an audible click, and the glow plug light plus a couple other lights come on. Should I only...

    L2501 Leaking mystery fluid / grease??

    After working my 2501 HST for about 5 hrs today I noticed some drips of something on my front axle on the loader control side. I swiped it and almost looked like grease, not so much like fluid. I found it was coming out of a small hole on the control valve. I assumed it would of been hyd fluid...

    Brush Chief Rotary Cutter??

    Has anyone heard of Brush Chief Rotary Cutters. One of the local dealers here is selling them and they look really nice but are pricier than other brands including Land Pride. I was unable to find any online reviews, and wondering if this is a quality cutter.

    PTO Shaft Safety Cover Problems

    On my new Tarter Rotary Cutter I can’t seem to keep the safety collar locked in on the shaft safety sleeve. Once I start cutting it comes loose right away and works itself down the shaft leaving the yoke exposed. Anyone have any tricks or fixes for this problem? I’m tempted to run it without the...

    New tractor with scratches

    Today I went to see my new l2501 that I will be picking up on Friday. It had scratches on both fenders, it bothers me a little but I know it's a tractor and will get scratches eventually. I just prefer that I put my own scratches on my new machine. Would anyone else be concerned about these?

    L2256 loader bucket?

    I was just looking a recent quote from my dealer and I see he included the 66” l2256 bucket in the quote for $600. What is the difference between this option and the standard bucket? And most importantly, is it worth the $600 upgrade? It will be attached to a l2501.

    48" Rotary Cutter on L2501?

    About to buy a new l2501 hst and dealer doesn't have any more 60" cutters. Instead he included a 48" in my quote. When I asked him about it, he said it will work just fine and I wont miss having a 60". He said it will actually bog the tractor less in heavy stuff. He also wrote up a 54" box blade...

    L2501 seat adjustment?

    Hello everyone, first post here. I just completed the paper work for the only l2501 hst I could find in my state - NM. The tractor is in a crate and should be ready for pickup next week. One thing I failed to look at on the dt at the dealer was a seat adjustment. Do these seats have the ability...
