You’d want a totaled one? I will probably be in short supply. But if I survive it, I’ll post pictures. I’ve got a Craftsman “yard tractor” with a bad hydrostatic transaxle that is available for cheap.

I wonder what supports the weight of the tires, wheels and fluid ballast when the outriggers are down and the tires are off the ground? But I don’t think it’s the bearings that are driving big K’s stance on the matter. I truly don’t know (getting in line for the AI, sounds fun). But I do know...

Well the mount showed up today, so give me a bit and I’ll see what can be done. I did burn up a pickup down at the barn about 15 yrs ago. And I was worried for the tractor.

It’s worse than that. We picked it up by the radiator core support. It had been turned in to a parts cat with the entire front engine and front end sub assembly having been removed. It then being a non-roller, it was “stuck” in my buddy’s shop. He knows I like any excuse to use the tractor, he...

FYI, the LX, for which a can is available, included the mid PTO. The L2502 will have neither.

You don’t have to, but it’d sure be cool if you did. With pictures. Could be a drinking story or a C-W song… My wife doesn’t buy that line for whatever reasons. 🤣

Nope, better than OEM!

If stability front to rear is the concern, Neil has a point about the rear implement providing that balance/ballast. The implement on the 3 point had a much longer lever arm (relative to the front axel) than the fluid filled tires do. So you can get the same effect with a much lighter 3 point...

I do not know about the bolt patten, but presuming there’s nothing wrong with your seat (so indeed you need a different seat) and the two seats are about the same size physically. I’m willing to bet you could fab an adapter plate to make a different seat fit. I’ve done it on pick ups and SUVs...

Yup, plug them into one another when the hoses are connected. The stock Kubota caps are better that the ones Land Pride provided. On implements that didn’t come with caps, I just plug the two lines together. But then I set mine up as a male-female pair so there’s no way to hook up the implement...

It’s worse than that. I’ve ordered the same mount for myself. Probably mount it the same place and way (thanks @Flintknapper, lots of good ideas to plagiarize here, and some to stay away from). Anyone want a nearly totaled tractor in a month or so? Well, actually, I’m going to see how I like...

Sounds like you’ve got a good tractor there. The draw bar is pretty simple, it probably should be removed if nearly in contact with the PTO. You’ve got it fixed by sliding it in further. I think I turned my drawbar end for end and it slid in further. My L has the same issue with the cruise...

That will work too. The newer tractors have smaller holes that the full diameter of the tube (like the older ones have). I learned here on OTT it’s because dirt dabbers like to nest in larger holes. At my place they just build nests on the barn trusses.

The vent tube should have a small hole in the end. You should be able to gently remove it. It there’s really no hole in the end, make one. Fair bit of rust down in that area. I suppose this tractor is stored outside. You might want to clean off the accumulated debris and then blow it off once...

Indeed the trouble with buying used and being particular is that you may well have to drive aways to get what your after. The two nearest me in the last year or so were 200-250 miles away. I used this process on my wife’s last “new” car, a 2018 bought in 2020, it took about 4 months and was 200...

You don’t mention price as being a significant consideration. If you want a cab (and a bonus mid PTO) the LX will get you a more well appointed machine for less than $5k more (about 15% more). That probably wouldn’t bother me too much, especially if heat/AC is desirable and not much work is...

Those that read my posts may think I’m a broken record here. But if the primary reason you’d steer away from the L3902 is because of the DPF/regen, and you’d like a larger Hp tractor than the L2502, you might consider a pre 2012 low hour, well maintained “larger” tractor. Enter the Grand L 30...

Good to know. I’d read something about lawn mowers, but that’s what I thought that’s my B was.

Like this? Boulder, 1/2 of a Chevy Equinox, about the same thing.

Juniper trees. Forks may well work better that a grapple, depending on how bushy they are. What’s the point of moving the trees? Are you going to put them all together and burn them? If so, a dozer would be pretty efficient at that.
