I wish :love: That would require time and money that I don’t have (n)

Yea that’s the main difference in the HP for mowing use. I’ve lost power with my 5ft in thick wet grass. Lucky for me, mowing season is pretty dry where I live.

To follow up on this old thread, I’ve been dropping the loader before I mow and it’s a totally different machine. I can climb my hills in M gear. Cuts my mow time in half so I can easily get the whole field done in one shot. Also saves a little fuel, which this year is a big deal.

I do it about every 2-3 weeks in the summer sometimes let it go if it’s really hot. I could let it grow up a ways but I have some noxious weeds that need to stay cut to keep under control. Next year I plan on buying a 3pt sprayer and spraying to kill off most of that and hopefully establish some...

That’s a sweet mower! If I could justify something like that it would be great, but I would tear up anything but a rotory cutter or flail mower on my property.

Yup, rear tires are loaded. Sometimes I drop the bucket before I mow but I’ve never removed the loader. I should give that a try, it might be enough to help me out.

I bought it brand new and so far only have 20 hours on it. Would love to tune it or turbo it but that would void the warranty.

I’ve been considering dropping the loader before I mow as I do have loaded tires as well. I was a little worried that losing front ballast might make my front axle lose traction when mowing uphill. I’m not sure I should be concerned about that or not. And to respond to your final point, yes I...

I usually mow half one day and half the next but occasionally need to get it done in one shot. Another plus to the L3901 would be a 72 in mower. I can only run a 60in on my 2501. The problem with running at the 540 mark is I lose power going up the hills so end up barely moving unless I get...

I have an L2501 that gets used for mowing my field all summer. It’s only about 4.5 acres but it’s rolling hills with some very steep parts. It takes everything the tractor has in 4WD Low range to get up my hills mowing or not. It also requires me to run wide open throttle which is probably not...

I’m very interested in this. Following…

You are correct. I am running a Land Pride RCR1260 which weighs 500 lbs. I have loaded rear tires but no weight on the front (without the loader). My hills are steep enough that I wouldn't feel safe mowing in 2WD. I keep that tractor in 4 almost all the time. As far as lifting the mower, I...

I don't have one. I just look at the top edge of my bucket. It is flat and parallel with the cutting edge. It makes it super easy to tell where I'm at and can be seen from just about anywhere. Same principal works with my pallet forks. The fork frame is flat on top. When I have the forks on the...

My property is rolling hills and needs to be mowed quite a bit in the spring/summer. I have been mowing with my loader on but feel like I am beating my tractor/loader up with the bouncing going over rough terrain. I would like to take the loader off next time I mow but don't know if the lack of...

I have a full list and documentation on each weed I need to take care of. There are too many to spot spray right now. I was told by the inspector that I was reported by a neighbor and it resulted in multiple other neighbors getting sited as well. I am not the only one with these weeds on my...

Yep. I moved out here to get away from that. I haven’t narrowed down exactly who it was yet…

I have an L2501 with filled R4s. I have moved some heavy loads on the forks with just my rear blade on the back. That being said I’ve also felt my rear wheels get light a time or two. The more weight the better. Mowers are pretty heavy. With a mower and filled tires plus the quick hitch you...

That’s a great point and been a concern of mine as well. Another concern is chemicals in my drinking water. I’m on a well. The reason I am so gung ho is one of my neighbors reported me to the County Noxious Weed Control board. Ive been cited and have 4 weeks to get it under control or I will be...

Ok I talked to the weed control board and they say 2,4-D is fine to use. They also suggested Pasture Pro. I still need to buy a sprayer so I’ll mow for now and do some research on what might be my best option. Hopefully can spray when weeds start to come up again. It’s too hot right now to spray...

The County has a Noxious weed board that puts out all of this information and they suggest using 2,4-D and WeedMaster, so you are correct. I will need to get a hold of them and figure out what the deal is. There is a lot of conflicting information. Thanks again for all the responses.
