    Best implement for 1/2 acre plot

    Thanks for all the comments. I will have to do some searching for used implements. Seems like friends and family purchases are the way to go. The few items I found online used are more expensive than they look like they are worth ($600 for a rusty disc harrow!). We have a few days of rain in...

    Best implement for 1/2 acre plot

    So maybe this is a dumb question. When do you spend the money for a "nicer" implement verses just buying a cheaper one. My initial thought is that anything mechanical (PTO attached or hydraulic) should be nice so that it lasts a while, but anything really basic like the disc or subsoiler can...

    Best implement for 1/2 acre plot

    To answer some questions above, I plan to have a garden with a few crop rotations. Not for hunting, just eating. I have R1 tires. I do expect to continually turn up rocks over the first few years. I don’t think I will ever fully get all the rocks out, especially the ones smaller than a golf...

    Best implement for 1/2 acre plot

    Hello all, I have been doing some research on the best impliment for my area. I think I have settled on a disc harrow for my L2501. Would anyone recommend anything else? What size should I be looking at? I have a 1/2 acre that has not been planted in about 100 years. I had the trees...

    L2501DT Hydraulic Level Dropped Quickly

    Thank you for all the advice. I drained out the excess, about 2.5 gallons. I was a bit surprised that the sight glass is plastic. But I guess that matches the oil cap. Fluid level looks perfect.

    L2501DT Hydraulic Level Dropped Quickly

    Why would you not pull the sight glass plug? Don't I need to just drain it to the bottom of the sight glass? I would rather avoid draining all the fluid out unless it is absolutely needed. Is there a way to double check the fluid level apart from the sight glass? I think that the dealer...

    L2501DT Hydraulic Level Dropped Quickly

    Sooo…. I contacted the dealer. They gave me a free Gallon of hydraulic fluid. I bought a second gallons just to be nice. I proceeded to pour and watch the sight glass. No sign of fluid. So I put the whole gallon. Still no sign of fluid. Added half the other gallon (in stages with some waiting in...

    L2501DT Hydraulic Level Dropped Quickly

    I appreciate all the replies. Glad to see a few others had the same issue. I was originally concerned about overfilling as well, but felt that since I had seen the fluid in the glass on day 1, and now it's not there, I ruled it out a bit. I went and parked on a slight hill (back end downhill)...

    L2501DT Hydraulic Level Dropped Quickly

    Hello All, I am a fairly new L2501DT owner. I have 4 to 5 hours on the tractor. When I received it, the fluid level was right in the middle of the sight glass. After two days (about 2 to 3 hours) I noticed that the level had dropped to about 1/4 the sight glass. At about 4 hours, I could...
