Thanks, wagne223! I will give that a try!

Also, I plan to get some video footage this weekend of me hogging an overgrown field for establishing a food plot.
I don't want to spam your thread, but I would be happy to post a link here once I get the video edited and uploaded.

Would that be okay with you?

I was able to get some footage over the weekend.
Here is the link if anyone is interested.

Kubota L2501 Heavy Brushcutting - YouTube

An excellent, illustrative video.

I suggest installing expanded steel screen as anti-brush armor under your tractor, where HST forward/reverse solenoids and fluid filters are located. Hardware stores usually stock only light expanded metal which is not good for "armor". I order heavier stock via eBay.

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

I have considered making underside protectors as well as installing expanded metal to the grill guard.

I have already broken the grill from a branch.

Thanks for the link, I will check it out.

Certainly!

I watched your video with interest. My needs, primarily keeping pastures groomed, pale in comparison to your latest project! Sure appears the L2501 will be more than sufficient for my little farm!

Upon reading the Owner’s Manual, I had to laugh at one point. It was suggested the first 50 hours are the break-in period. It could easily take me over a year to break it in!

So I assume you took delivery of your tractor?
