    Purchase price

    I think either of those prices will be hard to beat. Would either of them be willing to deliver it at no cost or do you have a way of towing it? My original plan was to sell mine when I was done what I needed it for but I find it just to be way to useful to get rid of.

    66” pto snowblower for L2501?

    I have a woodmaxx wood chopper that is supposed to require a minimum of 19 PTO hp. With 12 hours on the chipper now my l2501 has rarely bogged down with it even after throwing 8" pine logs into it. I bet you'll be surprised how well it handles that snow blower. Anyway who makes the canopy you...

    Purchase price

    Last year I paid 27k for the exact same setup from a out of state dealer delivered. My local dealer gave me a quote of 26,500 otd but didn't have a machine and seemed not very knowledgeable. Overall the extra 500 was well worth going to what I felt was a better dealer. The dealer I bought from...

    HST fluid change at 50 hrs?

    I just did my first service on my l2501 at 61 hours. I ended up changing the fluid and used kubota filters. I drained the old fluid into a clear used oil jug and will say that in the jug the old oil is definitely dark. Also I had a fair bit of metal on the oil filter magnet. While the oil was...

    What made you happy you got the backhoe today?

    I bought a l2501 with a bh77 and use it enough that I'm considering trading up to an l47. Just 2 weeks ago the day before leaving for vacation my well started leaking 6 feet down where the pitless adapter attaches to the well casing. I had the hole dug in about 15 min in the dark and repaired in...

    BH77 backhoe on L2501 - with one operator in each seat

    On my l2501 I bypassed the seat switch and keep a 2x4 upfront to push the pedal forward. Just reach back to lift the front bucket and use the 2x4 to drive forward a bit. I tried to push with the boom but it seems stressful on the the bh77.

    B26 TLB Hydraulic Pressure Check

    I'm going to have to disagree. My l2501 gets tossed around pretty good with the backhoe and I know my bh77 is weaker than the b26 backhoe. I've been following this thread because I'm pretty sure me and the OP have the same local dealer. When I went to purchase from them I felt they weren't very...

    WoodMaxx ™-86H or Woodlandmills WC46

    I received a woodmaxx wm-8h about 2 weeks ago for my l2501. At first I was worried about being on the bottom end of the hp requirement but the tractor handles it no problem. I have run about 6" or so pine and 4" oak through it no problem and I can do most stuff at full input speed. It definitely...

    L2501 3 point wont raise.

    So the dealer is sending out a service truck tomorrow which is great. It appears 2 lines off the hydraulic block are crossed up. When I try and raise the 3pt while moving the curl up and down on the fel the 3pt will raise. Hopefully nothing has been damaged while the lines were crossed.

    L2501 3 point wont raise.

    The fel works fine and I have turned the lowering speed valve in both directions. The position control and feedback linkages appear to work ok. I even rolled the backhoe over and reconnected the rear lines to it to confirm I wasnt just getting a bad connection at the fitting. I do know when the...

    L2501 3 point wont raise.

    I have a l2501 with a loader and backhoe bought new in the fall. Today I took the backhoe off for the first time to use the 3pt hitch and the hitch will not raise. I have reconnected the lines in the back a couple of times and that has not fixed it. I can easily move it up and down as if it is...
