    Size pallet forks for L3901?

    I went with a 42” set from Pro Works and couldn’t be happier. It’s the most used implement I have. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Tiller recommendation

    I have a Kubota L2501 and did quite a bit of research before purchasing my tiller. Like you I noticed that the Land Pride was more expensive. One thing to consider is that the LP tillers have four tines per flange as opposed to the King Kutter and most other tillers that have six tines per...

    HST vs Gear drive

    I run a RCR1260 on my 2501 HST with no problems. It’s the cutter my dealer recommended. I’ve mowed some thick overgrown pasture, the good thing about HST if the cutter does bog down you just ease up on the pedal and then go again, can’t do that with a gear drive especially with the non live PTO...

    HST vs Gear drive

    I have a 2501 HST and having previously owned only geared tractors I really like it, but the whine is definitely there. The HST will quickly spoil you, I don’t think I could ever go back to gears but I guess it all depends on the intended use of the tractor. Just be aware that the 2501DT DOES...

    Help picking out a first tractor

    I have 10 acres that I maintain with my L2501 HST. I run a 5 ft LP Bush Hog , 7 ft NH Sickle Bar Mower 5 ft Box Blade and a small round baler. It does everything that I need to do and the price was right plus no emissions stuff to deal with. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    What can my tractor handle as finish mowers go??

    My L2501 HST handles a rcr1260 no problem. No doubt it could run a 60 in finish mower and I would think it could handle a 72 in. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Sickle bar mower suggestion

    Just an update, I picked up a NH 450 today. I didn’t have time to attempt to connect it to my tractor, I’ll try tomorrow, fingers crossed. But I was wondering if anyone had an owners manual they would like to share, PDF version. Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    New member of the L2501 club!

    I’ve had my L2501 HST for two weeks and couldn’t be happier. I was hesitant about putting a 5’ rotary cutter on it because I had always heard the 5 hp per foot rule and it only has 19 hp at the pto. I also previously had a 24 hp Yanmar 2000 (great old school machine by the way) that I ran a 4’...

    Sickle bar mower suggestion

    I found a NH 451 on Craigslist for $700, it’s a 7 footer. I may go check it out but I was really wanting a shorter one.

    Sickle bar mower suggestion

    Hi all, I’m new to the site, been lurking for awhile, great source of information. I’m in need of a sickle bar mower for my Kubota L2501. I’ve been researching and read that there may be issues hooking tho old mowers to a modern compact tractor, narrow wheel width and such. I would prefer a 5 or...
