kubota l2501

Loading up the 66" bucket with sandy loam, I tried to get a little running start a couple times, in low, to get a real full bucket, and stalled. Sandy loam is real nice to work with, sometimes hard to get a good bite, keep it low when moving it does get heavy. I say 66" bucket because I added...

Have about 5ac, some is rather slopey, if that's a word, too downright dangerous on old feet. Username should give an idea of first task that has been started, erosion has taken its toll in a few short months, too much to fix by hand, need more dirt. My approach to WHAT tractor to buy, was...

Thinking of buying this for my 6 acre farm and wondering if anyone has any comments on the tractor? I understand that its engine size avoids the federal regulation regarding emissions and it won't have the regeneration cycle. I put 440 hours on my 3350 in the past 7 years. Thanks for any thoughts

Hi there, Just got my 2023 Kubota 2501 with a LA526 and 3rd function last week so I'm definitely a newbie here. My primary use for the tractor is to do light clearing of my lot in central Texas with tons of whitethorn acacia and runaway muscadine grape choking out anything and everything in...

Part 1: Background The purpose of this thread is to share the concept, creation, progress and performance of my custom Turbocharged Kubota L2501 HST 4WD tractor. I’ll start by offering my opinions on this tractor, why I bought it, how it’s performed, the advantages and disadvantages, and why I...

Hello. I have been visiting this forum for information for several years. I just brought home a new L2501, FEL, grapple, and forks. I live in an area where everything is still booming and overinflated. The local dealers wouldn't budge at all. I drove 3 hours away to a dealer in a market that is...

is there a larger frame 25 hp, non regen tractor than the L2501? Thanks for any info, Bill C

I want to hook up a small fan on rops and maybe a small led light on each side. Where is best place to get 12 v on tractor Thanks

Bought a new l2501 .It was delivered without a couple of things ,one being non loaded rear tires .dealer picked up tractor "fixes problems" brings back to me . Now i have water stream from sidewall in both tires . It appears they are not seated evenly around rim What now ?

So greasing the fittings on my 2017 L2501. I count there are 24 with the loader. I'm on #3, the one on the right side, on the tie rod, where the tie rod connects to the wheel. Put the grease gun end on it, and fill it up with grease, a bit oozes out, go to pull off the grease gun end, and the...

Hi all, I am currently cross shopping all of these with a loader and backhoe, and I am somewhat at a loss of which direction to go. Kioti - 23K for tractor Loader plus roughly 9K for backhoe - 32K total. Currently in Stock locally. Seems to be the most capable front end loader. Mahindra - 29K...

Hi, female here with a lot to learn, safety being priority. My husband passed away in December so I'm on my own with 20 acres (less than half of that needs mowing). I have a New Holland TC-30, manual/gears, purchased new around 2007. Attachments: FEL, Rotary cutter RZ 60 Bush Hog, Finishing...

Recently bought a Doolittle 18’ (16’ + 2’ dovetail) equipment trailer. I figured that my rotary cutter would stick out past the trailer some, but should I be concerned? My tie down plan is 4 points on the tractor with 5/16” grade 70 and ratcheting binders with a 2” strap over the bucket and 2”...

Greetings All, I'm looking at buying a used Kubota L2501. Here‘s what I know about: 2017 HST FEL Loader bucket has after market teeth on it 3rd function hydraulic for the FEL Kubota BH 77 back hoe w/frame mount fluid filled rear tires with industrial tread tire chains for all 4 tires all the...

Hey all, I bought a L2501 a couple of years ago and mostly love the tractor. The noise level of the hydro trans is a bit much though. This past weekend I was using a 90’s Ford 1620 that not only out “powered” my L2501 but there was literally no “whining” noise from the hydro transmission. I...

Getting a new L2501 before months end. Will be grapple ready. What does everybody like for smaller grapples? I see MTL grapples seem to be the price leader. Everything Attachments and Landpride also out there. Thank you in advance for your comments!

I did a comparison of the the Mahindra 1626, Kubota L2501, Yanmar SA424, and the Kioti CK2610. Overall it seems like the Kioti is the winner based on weight, lifting capacity, and PTO horsepower. Let me know if you see any mistakes! Of course, these are my local dealer prices in Central...

I had purchased a used grapple that turned out to be way to heavy for my tractor in my opinion. It was heavy! I decided to build a root rake grapple of sorts, a project that I had been wanting to do anyway. I started with a 1/4" quick attach plate which I happened to have, some 1/4" sheet which...

After countless hours of TBN research, I finally pulled the trigger on a new L2501 a few months ago, and had it delivered last month. Will be used mostly for maintenance of a 1,000' driveway, as well as various cleanup chores around the property and whatever else I can justify doing with it...

All Purpose Plows - Bush Hog I’m looking at the APP48-3 for my new kubota l2501 hst 4wd. It says that it requires 24 pto HP which is odd to me since it’s not pto run. I have loaded r1 tires and a FEL so I think I’ve got plenty of weight. Do you think this tractor can pull those 3 shanks or will...

narrowed down purchase to these 2 tractors. Can i use skid steer attachments on the 3205 or only john deere attachments?

Does anyone know the length of a kubota L2501 tractor with LA525 loader?

Hello, Looked under my tractor yesterday trying to track down a noise and saw that a shaft going from the front axle into what I think is the rear differential is quite managled. I think the shaft is part of the PTO system, but not sure. I need some help identifying what it is so I can grab...

I'm buying new Kubota but I'm not sure which one to buy. Is the extra 5 hp worth the emissions stuff in the long run? I'll be plowing a small garden (1/2 acre) and mowing with bush hog and putting in deer food plots. What do you think?

Recently I have noticed my Kubota L2501 has a squeaking sound that goes in time with the wheels turning when going in reverse. Doesn't happen going forward, only reverse. A short weeeet noise once per turn of a wheel I think. Since it only happens in reverse and not both forward and reverse...

Now I just need to get it dirty.

In the market for a Kubota tractor to have around the house and have found one locally that is a L2501 (purchased in 2017) with just over 100 hours on the clock. Second owner who has put about 10 hours on it. Has some premature wear on the floorboard and some diesel residue on the hood and...

Hello...This is my first post. My tach is not working on my L2501 HST. Does that mean that my hour meter will not work as well?...Thank you!

Will post pics tonight but have a couple questions. New L2501 hst purchased last year. Had Kubota rear remotes (2)added early this year. 2 issues. 1- where the factory plate mounts (inside lower rops frame, passenger side. Right side when looking from rear). The quick connect fittings stick...

I installed 2 rear OEM remotes on my L2501. I thought it might be helpful to create a video of the setup. Kubota L2501 L3301 L3901 Rear OEM Hydraulic Installation - YouTube

I'm about to buy a rear blade for my 2501. (4wd HST) main use is for ditching and leveling. Would a 72 or 84 inch be better? My concern is when tilting it for ditching, being long enough.

I'm a builder and developer and have been using company equipment to maintain a 1/2 mile gravel road into my place, several fairly long gravel driveways into the house and a few outbuildings, etc. I have a 25hp mower deck I pull behind a large quad to keep a few acres of wild grass and brush...

It isn't home yet, either today or tomorrow :) Loaded R4's with block heater and wheel spacers. I am very excited! The dealer said a day or so but had a delay in the shop so my tractor got pushed back, no big deal as I really don't need it yet anyway. I've been buying, using and selling a few...

Can anybody tell me if my 2018 L2501 HST has a computer? It has direct fuel injection so I think it does.

Took delivery of my 2018 L2501 HST in late April and now have accumulated about 35 hours of run time. Frequently it is difficult to shift into LOW gear whether from NEUTRAL or MEDIUM using the clutch pedal. Sometimes at engine idle RPM I can smoothly sneak shift into LOW w/o the clutch. I spoke...

I received my brand new L2501 the Friday before last. It came with a pile of implements and I've been testing each out. I put about an hour on it with the forks, moving stuff around. Another hour pulling my driveway back up onto the hill with a BB2560 in Low/4wd. Some digging with the bucket and...

Hello, I am new to TBN and am in the process of buying a home on 7 acres. I will have a couple of cows so that i can keep my ag exempt. I am looking at possibly buying a new Kubota L2501 HST with FEL and R4 tires. My property is flat / gently sloping. I will need to be able to bushhog...

I have been around tractors all my life and have a 1967 Ford 3000 that has served me well but it lacks a front loader that i need to help in my sawmilling. I am getting a kubota L2501 this week to add to my arsenal of tools to use. I started to web-search skid plate ideas for the tractor and...

Was originally looking at used options, but decided new might be best for my situation. Am between the Kubota L2501 and L3301, so had the both quoted out at the local dealership. Definitely higher than I was expecting... They threw in the rebates, including the 2 attachment deal Kubota is...

My 2501 is set to be delivered next week. Ordered pretty much all the attachments I think I'll need, except a Spreader. Won't need it until fall but starting research now. Will be mostly for fertilizing, seeding and overseeding 5 acres of lawn and about 3.5 of pasture. Any thoughts on what I...

I own a 1952 Ford 8N and my neighbor recently bought a new Kubota L2501. Yesterday my neighbor let me use his new tractor to mow my fields and I wanted to provide a compare and contrast of old vs new for anyone considering a new L2501. My pastures had become majorly overgrown due to our wet...

Signing papers on new L2501 this week. Still debating but leaning toward EA grapple vs LP (depending upon the lead time EA tells me when I call). Wanting to make sure I get the right hydraulic couplers when I order so that I don't have a hassle getting everything hooked up. Anyone know...

So this past Friday they delivered my new L2501. I want to thank everyone for help in making my decision on which model to buy! I won't lie, I was very intimidated getting in the front seat, but after 15 minutes I could not get off this thing. My FEL is already scratched up from knocking down a...

Looking for a smaller (phyically) 4WD compact tractor to pair with my L4600 (gear drive 2WD), I was shopping the Kubuto L2501DT interest free 'deal' recently. One of the things the dealer warned me about was frequent clutch changes which run ~$2400. I can see the 150 hour clutch swaps for the...

I'm putting spacers on my 2501 and am curious of what the best width is. I'm considering 1.5 and 2? I'm not too worried about stabily, more getting chains off and on and axle wear and tear. Also, is it normal to match front and rear widths or have the rear be extra wide. Cheers, Maherpaddles

New Kubota L2501 HST Hello, I’ve been reading this forum for over a year now, but this is my first post. I retired last year and moved to New Mexico to care for my elderly parents. We have about 31/2 acres total, with a 2 acre irrigated field in southwest N.M. My dad was disabled by health...

Can you guys offer some thoughts on my pricing. I'm in MO, price is everything minus tax. 2018 L2501 HST, 525 loader with 66 inch SSQA bucket. Filled R4 tires. 2 rear remotes (1 float), LP 3rd function. All installed. LP GS1560 grader scraper. LP QH15 quick hitch LP SGC0660 grapple (may...

Think I've decided to go L2501 over the B2650 for the additional weight, slightly larger frame and tires and slightly improved loader specs.(mainly the 9 of so inches of additional lift height) I have no need for a mid pto. I have to stay in lower hp engines to avoid dpf bs. Wanting to show...

Just wanting to get a feel if this is a fair price. I was quoted $18,853 for an L2501 hst 4x4 with ssqa fel, r4s and a 60 rotary cutter. Also free delivery. Does that seem like a good deal? Thats the before tax price. If I dont get the rotary cutter it would be $17,500. Thanks,

Hello!!! This is my first post here so please forgive me if it isn稚 up to par, I値l try my best. I am going to pull the trigger this year and buy my first tractor leaning real hard on going with kubota since there are two dealers some what close to me. Branson isn稚 out of the picture yet because...

Hi guys, first post on TBN so if I missed a thread that already covers this my apologies. Have 15 acres. 10 of it is cleared and mostly level. I want to keep it that way. Kubota dealer recommended a L2501HST as I told him I want to cut and maintain the property and speed of completion is...

I've pretty well ruled out the JD 3032E, the two-range transmission, plastic body work and aluminum rear-end (among other things) don't appeal to me. I'm fighting with myself over the Kubota L2501 or L3301. These two tractors are pretty much the same unit with a different engine and I'm...

Just sold my belarus 825 loader cab tractor and soon my kubota l2501hst ,4x4,loader and only 70hrs. The Russian tractor was too big and kubota too small. I need too handle wrapped bailage round bails. I have 40 acres of mixed wooded, open fields, and some swamps. My driveway is 1/4 mile so...

Hi folks. I've narrowed my search down to these 2 compacts. I want to go with a compact tractor loader at just under 25 HP to avoid the need for a Diesel Particulate Filter. I decided early on against Mahindra (reliability concerns) and Deere (price). Both the Massey and the Kubota dealers I'm...

Hello, Been a troll on here for a long time mostly only drove a old 8N and random other equipment when I worked on a dairy and Im looking to purchase a tractor. The size is good for me only have a few questions regarding some of the options. Planning on buying and keeping it. The PTO HP should...

Hello all, I just joined and hopefully soon-to-be tractor owner. Been reading TBN now for days. Closing soon on 230 mostly wooded acres in Aroostook County, Maine, with plans to build. I'm looking for a tractor to keep ~25 acres of brush and grass in check, clear snow, maintain road, dig 7'...

Hello everyone, I'm new here to the forum and also new to the tractor world. I have a new 2017 Kubota L2501 with LA525 FEL, landpride FDR1672 mower and a Buhler Farm King 500 snowblower. I was actualy wanting a skid steer of some sort because I didn't know much about tractors, but my father...

Trading in my Bobcat for a new L2501HST. The dealer (Chappell Tractor) has it built, just waiting on a few things. Can't wait until next weekend to pick it up!

I notice it's engine is direct injection instead of the usual indirect injection. Made me wonder if it is made in another country like Thailand. Anyone look and see where the engine is made? With the DT (gear) tractor you still have to clutch to shift the shuttle forward/reverse?

I Know I'm researching this to death and beating a dead horse. If you've seen my previous posts I'm looking to buy a Mahendra 1526 based on the specs it seems to win over all others. I always imagined myself buying a JD or Kubota, but the spec keep swaying me to the Mahindra. Not trying to...

I picked up a new L2501 with front loader and backhoe. I'll share my thoughts and modifications for the tractor on this thread. After 3 days here's my initial impressions Pros: -Fit and finish is very good. -Ergonomics for the tractor is very good. I'm 6'4" -I really like loader and...

Well I just got a new L2501 with front loader and backhoe. The engine seems really loud! The exhaust has a metallic rattle sound to it. My L3830 is much quieter sounding. Using a dosimeter app on my phone I measured around 92 db at 1700 RPM. My L3830 is running around 90 db. The L2501...

I want to tell my experience with a Kubota L2501 in case it's useful to anyone considering this tractor, or a L3301. They are wonderful tractors but the buyer should be aware of the following if you're not planning to get a hydrostatic.... First some background: I cut 10 acres of rough land...

Had my very first tractor delivered about two weeks ago. L2501 HST with FEL and finish mower. My dad gave me his 4' rotary cutter. I'm loving it so far. Have 12.5 hours on it. One thing I've struggled with a couple times is gauging the hydrostatic fluid level through the peep sight. I've...

After researching on here the past month I finally pulled the trigger on a L2501 with FEL, land pride rotary cutter, and a land pride box blade. Price was $18890 included filling the r4 tires and they will deliver. Have a chore list a mile long to tackle when it gets here and can hardly wait.

Hello all, anyone have a list of things to check off before accepting their new baby? Start it up, move the bucket and backhoe around. Make sure all the levers and pedals work Anything else?

Hey guys, a friend of mine of considering starting a small veggie growing operation. I'm helping him think of some options for equipment to get started. He doesn't want to start out way in debt, so I'm trying to keep my recommendations pretty budget-minded. He's interested in a 2-wheel...

I am at the point where I need to stop looking at tractors and buy one, so I can get some work done. The two options in front of me right now are a new Kubota L2501 or a (barely) used 2015 Massey Ferguson 1739E. The price is basically the same between the two. Either one will do the work...

Good afternoon from Alabama guys. I know Im asking a question that's been asked but I cant find anyone that has any experience with both tractors I have mentioned in the title. I will primarily be using this tractor for keeping a 5 acre field cut and maintaining roads and trails on the remaining...

I was looking at a Kubota L2501 this week and have been trying to look up engine performance charts on this engine with no luck. Does anyone know where I can find this info on Kubota D-1703-M-E4B direct injection engine? I am curious what was changed from the E3B interim tier 4 engine that was...

Need to purchase by this weekend to assist with clearing some property and long term use on 10 acres of woods. Have been cutting the tops of 60 trees that were logged recently. Hauling one log at a time over the weekend was tiring. L2501 HST, LA525 Loader, Loaded Rear R4 Tires, 6' back blade...

Thinking about either a King Kutter II or King Kutter Professional ordered from Rural King and factory shipped (same price, can't find definitive info on which model is "better"). Or a new Taylor-way GDT60 of unknown age off the lot of my local JD dealer (which tiller is the same as a King...

I have been looking at getting a tractor for my property (3.5 acres) and I have narrowed it to these two the Kioti CK2610 and Kubota L2501 both TLB. I have a price of $34500 cash for both from my local dealers. All Kubota dealers have given me a similar price. The next closest Kioti Dealer is...

So at the last minute before making the purchase, I went back to the Kubota dealer just on a curious whim, to ask if they would take my PJ trailer in on trade. To my surprise, they said yes they would. So now that allows me to go bigger tractor and retain close to my out of pocket as I would...

Hi everyone, I bought a new L2501 and they delivered it Friday. I have been getting drips on the garage floor of antifreeze. This is maybe two drips Friday, one Saturday and one Sunday. I wipe up the floor and underside of tractor after I see them. Upon inspection Sunday I notice it is...

Hey There, Newbie on board tonight. I live in Central Florida and just purchased a 3 acre lot with home. About 2.25acres available to farm. I worked on the family farm growing up and now am going to revisit the joys of dirt on my hands. Our plans are to raise cows, goat, chickens and large...

What is a good price for a L2501 with a loader a backhoe with a thumb non hyd

I'm looking for people's thoughts comparing the L2501 and the L3301. The 2501 does not have the new Tier IV particle filter but comes in at just 24.8 HP (PTO 19) . The 3301on the other hand does have the new filtration system and has 33 HP (PTO 26.3). The 3301 sits right where I was hoping to...
