    Utah - L2501 4WD HST Pricing

    I bought a new L2501HST with SSQA loader about 2 months ago. Got R-4 tires with fluid in back, telescoping stabilizer bars and a landpride 5 ft finish mower. $19,800 before taxes. Price was with 60 month 0%, so cash would be $500 less.

    Tractor shopping in TN for MX5800 HST

    Re: Tractor shopping in TN DOOLEY TRACTOR Went down yesterday and bought a new L2501 from Dooley's in Athens. Dealt with manager Larry Malone. They were very friendly, not pushy, and gave me a pretty good price. I would definitely give Larry a call before I bought one.

    Re: Tractor shopping in TN DOOLEY TRACTOR I just spent about two weeks online finding the best price on a new L2501. After I had an idea what a good price was, I called Dooley Tractor and explained to them what I was looking for and the cheapest price I could find online. They were able to get...

    TSC County Line brush cutters

    I used a 5 ft County Line from Tractor Supply with my L2501 to mow 34 acres for a couple of years. No problems. Got a Landpride 1260 with my tractor. The tailwheel fell off due to a weak weld. The deck skirt bent in and got cut off by the blades. The County Line was a better tool to me than the...

    Tractor shopping in TN for MX5800 HST

    You might try Barlow in Kentucky. They are pretty busy and called me back after I had bought a 2501 from another dealer. They were $900 cheaper but two weeks too late getting back to me. Here is a link to another dealer in Tennessee. http://www.newtractorpackages.com/ .

    Trailer load ?

    I have a 20 ft pontoon and a L2501. Have pulled it all around my yard including some steep slopes. Never had any problem. I believe the 2501 will out pull my F150.

    Will an L2501 work for me?

    I bought an L2501 two years ago just because I did not want to chance problems with a DPF down the road. I have not regretted the decision. The L2501 has maintained my 34 acres very well and I have no worries about something going wrong with the DPF.

    Looking to buy

    I really wanted an L3901. I settled for a 2501 because I would rather have a broken leg than a dpf. So far, I have not regretted the decision.

    Land Pride Quality Not Up To Par

    I was mowing with my Landpride Bush Hog when I happened to see a wheel laying on the ground. The weld on the tailwheel had broken and the shaft on the wheel fell off. Checked the owners manual and found the warranty had to be registered within 90 days of purchase. I bought a Countyline Bush...

    Investment ideas

    The best selling crop around here is corn. Everyone knows someone who has a few tomato plants and gets free tomatoes. I planted 4 acres of sweet corn a few years ago. I would get up at about 5 in the morning, pick a truck load of corn and head to the farmers market. Market would open at 8 and I...

    Maybe not a good idea

    Good idea. I have pulled dozens of T Posts. Don't know why it never occurred to me to drive them in further to break the ground seal. I guess you are never too old to learn. Thanks for the idea.

    L2501 HST Transmission vs Hydraulic filter?

    HH3A0-82623 One is located under the footrest on the right side and one under the footrest on the left side. One mounts vertically and one mounts horizontally. I don't have my tractor at home right now and can not remember which is which. Go to youtube and do a search for Kubota 50 hour...

    L2501 Hydraulic Filter change at 50 hours

    Go to youtube and search for Kubota 50 Hour Service. Very good video on there. I watched it before doing mine. Gave me a lot of confidence before starting the project.

    Paint concerns on new L2501

    I think removing lead from the paint has caused a lot of the problems. That being said, Kubota orange seems to fade much faster than JD Green.

    Direction change HST

    I had a Deere 3032e prior to my L2501. One of the very few things I liked better about the Deere was the two pedals for the HST. If I could change anything about the 2501, it would be the pedal.

Run a short chain on each side from the bottom of the loader bracket to the side of the trailer and snug it down. Super...
