Couldn't stand the 'designed at 5pm on a Friday' parts-bin appearance of the Land Pride 3rd function kit on my L2501, or the wire dangling down just begging to be caught on a tree branch or something else. Really beefs up the feel of the stick, bringing it out to about 1" thick, and seals...

BH77 did a good job given how rocky it was

What I thought would be an easy problem to solve has me wondering what I'm getting myself into. I'm looking to pickup an auger for the SSQA on my L2501 and I know I need a 3rd-function kit to power the hydraulic motor. Seems I have two things stacked against me here though: 1) I have a...

Been wanting to do this since I picked up this machine, but made myself wait until I had time to measure the 'useful' lift capacity first. Figured I'd record while doing it to serve as a how-to. I know there's a few videos out there, but none appear to show the whole process from beginning to...

I've got an L2501 with the 66" SSQA bucket. I've done a good bit of grading and moving/loading wet and heavy clay soil and rocks with that bucket, and it IS right-sized to the machine for that type of work. Backhoe is always on for counterweight. Where I run into trouble is when I'm cleaning...

I keep hearing "you can buy a used mini-ex for the cost of a BH". I watch my local craigslist all the time and I've NEVER seen anything even close until today: https://allentown.craigslist.org/grd/d/nazareth-mini-excavator/7264057666.html looks like it's barely even been used. . . maybe an...

Picked up a 2018 L2501 w/20 hrs on it a few months ago. Runs great, but has always seemed quite smoky in comparison to my old BX25D. I know this engine is nearly twice the displacement, so I expected more smoke and smell, but it still seems fairly heavy. I hadn't run it really hard for any...

Anybody have the WSM for the BH77 that can share the procedure for adjusting/maintaining the linkage? I've watched the handful of youtube vids out there, but I think everyone is guessing on: 1) should the linkages be greased where they pass through the upper guides? 2) how tight should the...

What would be the correct size snow pusher for an L2501? My driveway and parking area is all paved, so I' believe I'd be looking for a rubber edge, and I would prefer one of the 'pullback' models where you can flip down and use the other edge to pull back from garage doors. I was looking at a...

I don't have a lot of property (2.5 acres), but it seems I'm always tackling jobs where I'm straining my BX. It's mainly loader lift, but the few stumps I've dug (not that big) have been quite a chore as well. Recently I put in 3 new 8-12' trees , and I couldn't lift them from my dump trailer...

Thought you guys might enjoy these pics: http://gallery.netmagi.com/v/projects/91ctrwall/ Retaining wall collapsed at a rental house I own and rebuilt it with the help of two friends and my BX over a 3-day period. Could have probably done all this by hand, but BX was absolutely the right tool...

Insane. . . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UrtnIImGipg Six machine fight on the streets of Hebei, China, over what was apparently a contract dispute between two competing companies.

Hi Guys, I put in a backup generator this year, and I purchased a complete genset that came wired with a key switch. "Mis-wired" I might add, since the glow plugs didn't even work, but I didn't much care, as I knew I'd be putting a controller on it and re-wiring everything anyway. The...

I saw "NEPA guy's", and thought I'd add mine. I hail from PA as well :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rs233NEE7CA -Rich H.

In case anyone was wondering on this combo. . . I know I spent a lot of time when I was trailer shopping trying to figure out what would fit on what, and didn't find many "loaded" pics. I previously had a 5x8 carry-on el-cheapo steel trailer, and swapped it for an Aluma 6812H when I got tired...

The idiot being me in this case :rolleyes::rolleyes: So. . ~60 hours on my BX25D, all doing snow clearing, and then landscaping this spring, and this weekend it was time to cut my grass for the first time. I uncrated the deck, lubed it, put it on, and had at it. Got towards the end of cutting...

Since I've gotten my BX, I've been a looking at a good option for adding forks. While I love my little BX, I can't figure out what Kubota was thinking with their factory option for forks. The 3 piece setup is so heavy that you only end up with ~300lbs of lifting capacity. The many available...

I have an old IR Lightsource ex-light tower with a D905 in it. When I got it, the mechanical lift pump was bypassed (12V electric fuel pump pushing fuel up to the inj. pump instead). The mechanical pump is still installed in the block, with nothing connected to it, and open fittings. Motor...

I got my BX25D right before winter, and only got to use the backhoe once before it and the FEL came off in exchange for a snowblower. Fast-forward to this weekend, and I swapped back to BH and FEL, and used it for the second time to move a small tree. I noticed that the dipper/bucket control...
