    Dirt Moving  To Overlap or Not to Overlap...

    ....that is the question. Trying to learn the best technique for using my new 58 inch LandPride reverse tine tiller behind my L2505, in some deep, loose soil here in Upstate NY. I usually run with the 'tailgate' fully open, skids set all the way up, and 3 point hitch set all the way down...

    L2501 Drawbar Use

    After reading some good threads here....sounds like I would be OK to just fasten a 1 7/8 ball directly into my drawbar to pull my 5x8 utility trailer around my property to haul brush....nothing really heavy.

What's the best (safest) way...

    Oil & Fuel  L2501 50 hour maintenance

    New owner here...my L2501 manual transmission Kubota calls for "Hydraulic Oil filter" replacement at 50 hours (also oil and oil filter, clutch adjust).
