...a new L2501. I just registered on this site but have been browsing the forums for several days to get educated on things Kubota. Very helpful to me. The package will have a 66" bucket, 2 rear remotes for the Top And Tilt, BB2560 Box Grader, and a metal canopy. Should be delivered in a week or two.

I'm looking forward to learning more from the folks on this site.

Randy -- welcome to OTT!

By all accounts, you made a great choice. Seems like there's a lot of satisfied L2501 owners here.

Welcome and congratulations. That's a short time from order to delivery too, which is good to hear. Things are slowly returning to normal.

2 things if you never owned a tractor before
1 Think every thing through, then stop and think it through again, shyt happens in a heart beat!
2 Dont let your wife/girl friend use it, always act like you just had a super hard day,,, wet your hair mess it up, drench your shirt . And you wont have to worry about sharing your tractor :)
And welcome

I'm a step ahead of you. I downloaded 'em to my computer. If I can get the hard copies for a paltry sum I'll get 'em.

Thanks.

Welcome and congrats. Check your front axle lube - assuming you got 4wd. When you get it, you might change your signature to include the full model and your rough location. Saves asking questions and making bad assumptions.
Edit nm re: location

Good luck with a fine piece of machinery!

Check your front axle lube - assuming you got 4wd.
I agree that's the most important one to check. Some get delivered with low fluid. Can be UDT or gear oil but not mixed.
Find all the grease nipples and grease them at zero hours. Some get missed.
LA525 has 14 zerks.
L2501 has 10 zerks.
Torque the wheel bolts.

Great tractor!

Welcome and congrats as well! - It seems like just yesterday but I am coming up on 2 years - One of the very best purchases I have ever made. This group is awesome and I have learned so much from them.

+1 on the front axle and checking the zerks yourself. I have a couple that were painted closed and missed (they were on the BH though).

Maybe Think about some kind of tooth bar for the bucket, adding LED bulbs and that right-hand handle is worth adding to me
