Or I may be able to put the tiller or bb right up at the front.. I really like your idea about backing the mower on and dropping it. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

Appreciate the response and insight! It's a 1 ton truck, and the trailer and it's tires are rated appropriately for 14k. I've updated the original post.. the trailer is actually 20ft. The deck not counting the ducktail is 16ft. So I can maybe chain the boxblade or the tiller to the...

I've got a 2501 with fel, boxblade, mower, and tiller that I need to move from SC to my new place in TX. I've never had it on a trailer. My trailer is a 20ft tandem axle (deck is 16ft, 4ft ducktail.) What are my chances of getting all of that loaded on the trailer +safely towable? I should be...

My bush hog is only a 5 footer, but I don't have any trouble. My box blade is a 6 footer, again no trouble box blading up a steep hill. I've got about 800 feet of gravel road. I don't think the 2501 would have any trouble with the implements you are talking about. Sent from my XT1097...

I wonder if they will do financing on just the backhoe (separate note). I could really use it. Is it hard to take off and put on? Sent from my LG-V410 using Tapatalk

Mine whines a bit. Doesn't bother me though. I go between forward and reverse a lot, and would not be happy without my hst. It's not much louder than other hydrostatic equipment I've used including bobcat. Sent from my XT1097 using Tapatalk

I've got about 10 hours on mine now, mostly clearing land that has been logged. Maybe an hour box blading my gravel drive, and another cutting drainage ditches on the uphill side of said road with the subsoiler. I'm extremely happy with this tractor. The soil is clay, and there are lots of...

How's that? Sent from my LG-V410 using Tapatalk

My L2501 has a limitation of just 2200 rpms. Sent from my XT1097 using Tapatalk

ah! Light bulb just came on... I think that when I put my lever at 3, the hydraulics allow it to float up (as would happen if wheels hit a dip) but not down past 3 height. If I put my lever all the way down to float position, then the implement can travel the full range of motion. I...

Is that true? I could swear that on mine, float is at the full down position. If I don't put the lever all the way down, I don't think it's in float. Position 3. 5 is about where my box blade contacts the ground. (Talking about the 3 point here.) Sent from my LG-V410 using Tapatalk

I'm pretty happy with my 2501. Glad I went with 4wd though! I've found that 4wd is a must using my box blade or subsoiler. Kinda glad I went with hst, too. I could use a backhoe, but that just wasn't in the finances. Time I get done clearing the 8 acres I have left to do, it will have...

Run the chrome binary from a command prompt. That will let you see the standard error output and might give a hint what's going on. Sent from my XT1097 using Tapatalk

That is a great idea! But I'd probably attach it closer to the side of the bucket (seems like the bucket would be sturdier there, and less likely to bend). Sent from my XT1097 using Tapatalk

Re: L2501 "Power Beyond Port" connection for Land Pride 3rd Hyd point / Grapple WHat grapple did you get? Are you happy with it?

Do you think this thing will stand up as a root grapple (digging up/cutting roots and bringing up small rocks?) I really want a root grapple but I'm in sticker shock. I might could justify 8-900 for this one if it'll do the job. Otherwise I'm money ahead to fabricate my own. I've got about 4...

Flowing water is nothing to mess with. I watched a man drown trying to take his car through a low water crossing with about a foot of water in it. His car stalled, and he couldn't get the door open due to the force of the water against it. He tried to climb out the window, and the car...

Next you'll be blaming it on the dog. =p Sent from my XT1097 using Tapatalk

I'm surprised no one has mentioned GCWR ratings. Every truck manufacturer publishes ratings for GCWR (maximum weight for truck, loaded trailer, passengers, and cargo in the truck). There will also be a rating for maximum loaded trailer weight, which will vary by transmission and gear ratio...

My young son was reading over my shoulder and exclaimed, "A 6 foot rake?! That'd be more for elephant poop!" I got a chuckle out of that and thought I'd share.
