It's been my experience that some charge shipping if they aren't already on the lot.

I only use a few gallons of off-road diesel a year for my L2501HST. I think the most I've used is probably 15 gallons a year when I was doing a lot of projects and that includes the fuel needed to plow the community road and maintain the same gravel road. Even at $3 more per gallon, that's...

Do you have a floor jack or bottle jack? You could use one with blocks of wood and slowly work it up higher and then release the grapple.

You could take a best guess. Many of the vendors offer free returns. If they are both Marinco, it will probably be right.

Did you try amazon? They seem to have them.

I’d add a second battery, isolator, and Perko switch instead.

I'd definitely consider a mini-ex over a backhoe. Used, I think you can come close enough to the same price as the add on backhoe. However, I use rear implements almost all of the time I use my tractor.

Thought about renting?

I have a L2501HST. It's been great. One thing that attracted me was no DPF or DEF. I know some have had great experience with emissions tractors/trucks. I haven't. No doubt that there are more capable tractors than my L2501HST, but probably none that are as trouble free. If you don't think...

I think I would go for the MX4900 instead. It has 400-500 more capacity in the loader and more HP.

Probably similar results from Siri or google.

I said no, but mainly because my indicator is good enough for me. I'm not sure if you could make enough to be worth the effort, but that's your time you would be spending.

In my area, they sold really quickly. You should compare new vs used instead of simply used price. Used sold very fast.

Good luck with the new tool. I don't use Ryobis that much, but they are still working fine years later and the batteries aren't really that much. Besides, batteries only last so long.

Mine is very good at packed gravel. You do have the ability to adjust the depth of the blades. I've only used the spec settings. The only time I use scarifiers is to clear potholes. In that case, I don't always use all of them. I use only one for potholes usually.
