To hell with that. Yeah it may not be a Ferrari but I would be very concerned with what else might have occurred during shipping or assembly that is NOT visible. Hell mine came 4 quarts low on front axle fluid and it only holds about 4 1/2 qts total. Depending on the dealer reaction I might look...

Make sure to check your other fluid levels to, especially front axle. Mine came from the dealer very low. Also do the torque on all the appropriate bolts.

I wash and wax mine all the time. They are expensive little pieces of equipment and everyone knows a waxed tractor is more aerodynamic and gets better mileage lol

Not a lawyer here however, I always get the insurance on ANY rental. That being said, that is a pretty pricey piece of equipment. You said they didn't "offer" insurance BUT do they "carry" insurance and on the rental agreement did you specifically "decline" the coverage ? If they truly don't...

Man that thing is way too clean !! How much does that beast of a bucket weigh ?

Man that thing is way too clean !!!! How much does that bucket weigh ?

I only use mine when I have the loader off, probably no particular reason other than to not activate the system since nothing is connected to the lines. If it something you think should be fixed I myself would take it to the dealer just because it is under warranty. You paid enough for the thing...

Keep working with it and I think you will definitely come around some more. Lots of safety features usually stems from lots of litigations !!

Thanks. I replaced the filter and filled tank and managed to put diesel in it !!! Bled the line with the valve at the fuel injector, started and let it run for 30 sec then turned off and closed air valve. Started right up again then after about 2 minutes stammers, coughs etc. then dies. I...

Pulled a real FNG move. L2501, 10 gal tank. Topped it off prior to mowing. Ends up added about 4 gals of gas to about 6 gals of diesel. Put 0.3 hours on it before Einstein figured out engine was losing about 200 rpm and a small amount of smoke. Parked it and have drained tank at inlet of fuel...

Used the shop vac method when I changed mine at 50 hrs. Didn't lose a drop. It is a little unnerving the first time though.

Thorny, glad you seem to have it solved. I have never heard of "algae" until this thread so going to do some research on that. Your first post stated you ran up to PTO speed (if like my L2501 that is 540 rpm at about 2000 on tach more or less) but you had NOT engaged PTO. My owners manual...

I bought a "package" a couple of years ago. First tractor and have learned I should have learned more but fell for price. L2501 is awesome. I have the HST, 60" rotary cutter and box blade. Came with pin on bucket and like you thought I would never remove it. Wrong. So I put out for the land...

I did not get the quick attach on mine when I bought it. BIG mistake. When I realized a grapple would be "fun" to have I opted to have the dealer install a quick attach and the 3rd function. For the winter I unpinned the QA and put the bucket back on. Yeah I know but not to bad really ! My...

So sometime in July ??

Love my 2501. Have 14 acres in pasture plus another 4 a few miles away. Definitely go HST with 4wd. With 5 acres not sure you need cruise but I do wish I had it on mine. I don't do weights or loaded tires as I have my box blade on the rear if I am doing FEL work. I did buy a grapple and luv it...

Congrats on the new toy !!! Before anything else, I strongly advise you check ALL of the FLUID LEVELS. Don't take for granted it came all ready to use. YES dealers can be great BUT dealers can also be bad. My L2501 needed 4 quarts of front axle fluid and it only holds 4.5 ! Have fun with it !

As much as you are comfortable spending. Get the biggest with what you want to use it for. My L2501 is all I need for my 25 acres and it is incredible the tight spots it can get into. Would go with a cab if you will have a lot of cold or mowing in and have the headroom under any trees. Basic...

All good advise, I got nothing to add except in your first set of pics the dog is giving you a funny look and somewhere down the road you will suffer for the "wife's scale" comment.

True for the 55", I was researching the 50" bucket style but decided on the LP which looks almost exactly the same as the EA 55".
