    No Grapple, no glory

    I've been waiting months for two dealers to get me a Land Pride SGC1060 Grapple for my L2501. No glory. Is there a "just as good" grapple out there (I've heard EA mentioned), that will work with a standard Kubota 3rd function? Thanks!

    Auger - universal fit?

    I'm planning to get an auger for my L2501. I need to dig some 9"+ holes to support a solar install. A friend is offering me a lightly used auger at a very reduced price. The tractor and this auger are about 150 miles away from each other. My questions - are most 3P augers universal? Should...

    Two questions for those who use the dye - 1. any issues with it dying the white background red/pink? 2. waste of packaging? - a shipping box, a product box, a jar for the dye (slightly bigger than the jar of jam they give you at breakfast in a fancy restaurant --- all for 12 ml of dye??? the...

    update - thanks all - I got the John Deer dye, and at least now I know how much is there. And WOW - does the level change depending on the orientation of the tractor (level by length, level by width, just a few degrees out of level, etc.). But now I see pink when it's level - so that is a...

    L2501 - empty or full, the trans fluid "window" looks the same......

    thanks! I see the white only - since I bought it. I'll try the dye to see if it is more visible. Any guess on how much UDT it takes to go from the bottom of the window to the top? Is it a few drops or a litre?

    thanks - in my defense, I was changing the filters and saw a lot drain out. :) Update - the quarter finally dropped :cool:

    I was reading here about "removing the window" to check the transmission fluid level. Is this a good/bad idea, and how do you actually remove the window (assuming the white dot I'm looking at now)?

    I just did my 50 hour maintenance on my L2501. Oil wasn't a problem. The HST filter was easy enough. The Hydraulic filter was a good waste of transmission fluid (I was slow to get the new filter on). I had seen videos suggesting about half a gallon would be lost, so I put that much in first...
