2001 Honda Foreman 450 still going strong...air cooled simple machine full-time 4x4 no high/low...just bare bones and 1st gear plenty of pull for all the farm tasks I've done over the last few years. I know you want other advice, but hard to beat the straight rear axle, stability, reliability...

I've ran about 600 hrs over the last 4 years mostly on my property which is all 15° to 20° slopes aside from a few level areas and roads I've graveled. Was scary at first out on the 30 rolling acres traversing sideways on contour but after a while you get used to how the tractor handles hills, L...

Everyone has their reasons for bush hogging, but I do as minimal as possible, and yep it's pretty much always in L range and 4x4 slooooow w/ the L2501 in thick hilly terrain. Not enough reason for me to sell it though. I mainly just do paths bi-weekly, and some small wildflower areas once a year...

I decided on a pair of 20' over a single 40'. Currently trying to figure out best arrangement for roof...I have them spaced next to each other with about 15' between them. The idea is I needed quick secure storage to get out of renting a space, and I can use my truck and/or bobcat to drag these...

The brake pedals are relatively awkward with HST pedal...but I do like having the clutch so it's complex to fit it all, even though I think designers could have done better. But, I have been wondering about the cruise control option for standard L (maybe this was already mentioned in the last 8...

That is quicker than I would like to see...mine has lost some of it's "hold" as well with a bit over 300 hrs, but not to the degree it sounds yours has. unrelated to OP but saw comments about this - I have noticed that a surprisingly large amount of larger tractor owners (hay/cow operations)...

Like someone mentioned, just check over the wiring of that switch the best you can. I've done this on a diesel pickup that had a problem somewhere in the glow plug circuit. The guy didn't want to spend a lot more time or $ on it and it worked fine for years until the truck was totaled. Hey, at...

It's easier to come down in price than go up lol! Price it a thousand or two above what you see commonly advertised on the big web page dealers selling used machines, and go from there. It'll make a buyer feel good to talk you down, and you still get a fair price. Personally if I were looking at...

I just want to chime in here late and say that on this forum, and from local tractor dealers, I've heard a lot of great advice, but also a lot of negativity about "digging" with tractors, or buying attachments that are "too big" or HST is "no good" for some task, "just rent a mini ex", and a...

Interesting to hear about the selective mowing for wildlife habitat improvement. I try to manage 30 hilly acres that used to be hay field this way, by establishing several main roads relatively level across the contour of the land to access the property. From there I can mow small parts here and...

You might get lucky and it holds water! I made one of similar size and fashion trying to do my best working with the clay I encountered, and it always has some water in it, and will fill up and overflow in very wet conditions...but steadily drains several feet down over the course of a couple...

I decided to check back in at the dealer and the L45 has been sold. No surprise really...Lmk if you decide to sell yours!

I spent some time trying to find a used set of pallet forks close by in the $500 range to no avail...ended up buying a new set from Kubota dealer 2000-2200 lb capacity? More than my tractor can lift and super handy, well worth the price and more versatile over bolt on. I cannot remember if they...

Its crossed my mind and would be useful as heck, but equally unuseful where a TLB dimly shines across the board, especially when it comes to trailering a do-all machine to a multi-tasked job. The mini ex would dig out a great spot but theres always more to it than that, like loader buckets of...

Sometimes you run into stuff where you could just use a little "more" to get er done scooter

Great replies, especially the 2 tractors are better than one lol. Im leaning towards just keep working the 2501 and keep paying it down til I can more logically purchase the right TLB setup. My thoughts are keep the 2501 as the garden and mowing machine since the loader comes off, and sell the...

Hello, I've owned a new L2501 with BH77 for about a year w/ 200 hours on it so far. Great machine, gets the job done. Here on my 30 acre farm there's lots of projects I've been working on like roads, swales, ponds, leveling areas out. Its hilly rocky KY land. The tractor feels very stable on the...

Yea this is an interesting thread. Big tractors and monocropping are certainly one way of agriculture, should other ways be posted here too? Like, smaller scale farming? I happen to work on a 1.5 acre garden among a 12 acre farm that primarily uses a 2 wheel walk-behind tractor and produces I'd...

What could go wrong? I guess the L2501 has just enough oompf and weight to do-in the Woods RB60. It's about impossible to keep an eye/feel on it 100% of the time and I snagged some big rocks. I'd like to get a heavy duty scarifier bar coupled with a blade. Also a single bottom plow might do...

Anyone see a problem putting the clevis here to drag logs with? Seems like a robust enough spot to me. Finally found a blade that seemed useful for the $$. It has the TILT feature, which is important to me. I found to get that function on a new blade brings a pretty high price tag. It's around...

It would be hard for me to consider any other machine if I had to replace this one.

I decided to build a small carry-all box out of the Tractor Supply Co. frame. Wanted good maneuverability in tight spots (box blades and rotary cutters stick out too far either way) Had the extra wood laying around, and very lucky to have a friend that gave me 7-800 lbs of old window weights...

other blade hitting the deck skid

Maybe this is a nightmare? I hope the pics show up. So plan was to drop off the grader blade in the morning and done...I figured I'd go try out the cutter at the farm after that but not anymore. Worst luck ever? something else? The tractor was backed off the rollback with brush hog attached and...

First time new tractor owner here, but not completely oblivious and had some doubts about the scraper blade that came with my L2501. He gave me the RB0560 and it weighs 148 lbs. I decided to check the land pride website myself when I had some time this weekend and see that under their "matched"...
