    A winch on my 2502

    That should work but you probably will be limited to the size of a winch that will fit. For me the primary issue was I needed to pull from angle due to the limited space in the trails. It takes less effort than you would think to skid a log on the ground. My 3k winch has way more power than...

    A winch on my 2502

    See this post for what I did. It works very well. No issues with battery however I use it with the tractor running. I also have a 150A breaker at the battery just in case the +12 volt lead to the back gets caught on something and shorts out. The tractor with the parking brake on (LX2610) has...

    +1 For SCCA also a shameless plug from a T&S chief for 2 different clubs and VSCDA in Michigan. Want to see a race plus get fed really good food (especially the BBQ dinner Sat nights at Grattan with WMR). Plus get a small stipend for gas (unless the car count stinks). Come out to GingerMan near...

    I ended up paying for mine. Forget but think it was $75+- Not sure if it was a limited time but it's too late now. However It probably would not be too hard to duplicate I have a 4"+- piece left over that I could send you a drawing of if you want to pm me your email. Should not be too hard to...

    I have an EA 55" that I have an extra horizontal bar welded in near the bottom to shear off the vines and thin roots. The long or short bottom tines more a personal preference as both will work. I like the short bottom root rake style as I find it more useful in ripping out. The one thing that I...

    Thank you for posting that. It does indeed look like the end result is EA id done and dusted. That is sad for the employees, customers and vendors. I truly hope that the folks like Ted and family that took the company down the drain pay a steep price for the fraud that (well not proven in a...

    All I can say is they made really good stuff. And I'm glad I have my grapple I bought a couple of years ago from them. I feel for the customers and the employees that are caught up in this mess. I remember what it was like when a company I worked for back in September 1980 that went belly up and...

    Want to buy L2502 but cold start has me re-thinking

    WOW I have an LX2610 so still mechanical injection but it's only a 3 instead of the 4 cylinder that's in the L2502. I don't get any smoke other than a quick puff of black smoke on a cold start...

    Just my $0.02 worth... As I recall from when I got my grapple a couple of years ago. They only work 4-10 hour days and Friday morning if they work it's just cleaning the shop and the slag out of the lasers... On social media in general this describes my feeling best....

    February 2024 Kubota market

    Been a couple of years but Sept '21 I ordered a LX and because I was willing to wait for one to come in (90 days) plus the then much better equine discount I got 17.2% off of the MSRP

    Fuel oil

    Fuel oil #2 = Diesel fuel # 2. Fuel oil #1 = Diesel fuel #1. They all now days are ultra low sulfur.

    dealer prices ??

    The difference is that the tire only is thru parts. The tire and rim is thru the sales dept (AKA the way the new tractors are sold with the tires of choice). The markup to put it politely somewhat different between the two sales channels.

    New Lx2610 rust

    You can if you want get a can of the Kubota Gray paint from the dealer to paint those spots if it's a concern. I got a can to paint the tie down hooks and the top & tilt cylinders I made a couple of years ago. The paint is still holding up really well on them.

    B or BX Pre-Emissions Models

    In a nutshell if it's under 25hp (19Kw) it's non-computer mechanical injection.
