    Question(s) about tending a brush pile fire with the tractor.

    I have a few big brush piles that were on the property when I bought it. They were left behind by a dozer so it's full trees with root balls. Most 6-8 inch trunks but a few up to 14-16". I've spend a few afternoons moving it to a "neutral zone" to burn since it's piled in a place that I...

    Is this a water well?

    I bought property next to our house lot and found this. Looks like it might be a well but it's close to the water meter for our property so maybe it's something related to that.

    L2501 oil change at 200 or 400 hours?

    I downloaded an electronic copy of the operators manual. It says to change the oil at 200 hours. I've done all of the service except the oil change when I noticed my paper manual says I don't have to change the oil until 400 hours. Have any of you noticed this discrepancy? I realize an extra...

    Question for those of you who have made a homemade barrel/concrete ballast

    I've put my links and such together and added the concrete. I'm just not sure how long to wait before I lift it. I've read everything from 2 days to a month. So how long did you wait and did you have any issues? Thanks.

    Has anyone filled their tires with fluid and regretted it?

    I recently acquired an l2501 and added a grapple. It didn't take me long to recognize that some weight in the back would be beneficial. I'm debating filling the tires at some point but I wanted to know if there's any downside to it. Of course I get that the tractor is simply heavier which has...

    Can I get someone to sanity check my understanding of hydraulic connections?

    I'm installing a 3rd function kit on my L2501. It all seemed pretty obvious until I started to connect the PB. I have recently removed a backhoe so I wish to remove those lines going to the back and I'm not sure what should connect where in the PB loop. Here's what I currently have...

    Question for those who have installed a 3rd function on loader

    I'm installing a 3rd function valve from Summit. So far I haven't run into any real issues but I do have a few questions you all might help me with. I've searched but can't seem to find exactly what I'm after. 1. How did you rout the hoses from the valve down the loader arm to the crossbar...

    Loading and hauling a BH77 Backhoe (without the tractor)

    I'm selling my BH77 and the buyer needs to put it on a trailer and haul it a couple hours down the road. Is it reasonable to just back the tractor onto the trailer and disconnect it then strap it down? My only other option is to lift it with my loader but that seems far more trouble. Thanks.

    I bought a L2501 with this backhoe installed and don't need it. Make no mistake I want it, just don't need it. Asking $6500. You pick it up in NE Oklahoma. I haven't removed the subframe but it can go with it if it doesn't create too much trouble removing it.
