Carrying a chain saw on my tractor has always been a pain. Putting an expensive saw in the backhoe bucket is not a good plan. Recently I found this ATV chainsaw holder on Amazon for under $70 and decided to order it. I did make modifications to the mounting bracket using a band saw but other...

All the more reason to buy a new one, they hold their value, have a warranty, and Zero % financing.

"So I have spent three years searching for the perfect tractor to take care of my 14 acres. This is my first tractor. I have looked, and test driven: Deere, Massey, Case, Mahindra, Yanmar, and Kubota. I have spent countless hours looking at the forums and reading review" Well, don't let anyone...

My L2501 just turned 3 years old this November. I also have the HST and I would opt for it again today if I were replacing this tractor. I only use the clutch when changing ranges or going in or out of 4WD. The ease of operation especially when going from forward to reverse and visa versa is...

I've owned my L2501 HST now for 2 years and it has been a fantastic machine so far. I bought a used, old school Gannon Roll Over Box Scraper with ripper teeth a year ago. I was concerned that it would be too heavy for the 2501, not the case. The 2501 handles it with ease here in the rocky Sierra...

From my experience Kubota will not finance the attachments (zero percent) unless you purchase them with the tractor. I purchased the BH77 backhoe with my L2501 and got zero percent on the whole package. My friend decided to purchase the backhoe after the tractor (he loved mine) and was unable to...

A possible upside to these bracket reinforcements are a great spot to mount additional work lights.

Flyidaho, sounds good, comparison pictures would be great. It is funny, I had never heard of LS Tractors before you mentioned them. I actually Googled them to learn about them. By the way, I completely agree with your Toyota vs Hyundai resale comparison, as it relates to Kubota. All you have to...

I started this thread because mine was a problem, and becoming worse. I could see the change from new and watched it getting worse. The brackets had spread so much that the pin was coming out of the bore. Like I had mentioned in one of my earlier posts I regret very much not have taken before...

The 534 loader has different, thicker, beefier flanges based on my observations. From what I have learned the 534 has 1/4 steel where the 525 has 3/16. In addition the 534 flanges are not as high off the loader arm. I'll bet that the 534's are not going to see those flanges move much if at all...

Thanks! All done with the stock bucket no attachments used. This work was not my property, in fact the gentleman holding the shovel owns the property and is my neighbor. I am not sure what is going to be done in that area, our local road committee might have a plan. I was simply helping with my...

Well, in spite of the faults this loader may have, it sure works great! Here are some pictures of my latest loader work moving thousands of pounds of wet red mud out of a drainage along our road. I love using this tractor, it is one heck of a lot more fun than a shovel and wheelbarrow:D

This is great news. It makes me feel good about starting this post. The fact that your dealer agrees that the brackets are lighter gauge than they should be may lead to other dealers and down the road even Kubota doing something about it. By the way I really like your new canopy!

My friend and I both purchased our tractors from the same dealer a year apart and had similar issues with the salesman who actually owns the dealer. We both discovered that texting him brought almost instant results, where calling and leaving a message did not. If you have his cell number, and...
