I think i just need to convince my wife “patience is a virtue”… you can’t fight mother nature.

Because the garden is fenced in, so we are limited to the spot. My main concern is leveling the ground, but it seems the ag tires and wet soil isn’t gonna work. I even tried the box blade, but i guess there’s too many large craters that i need to fill them up somewhat before i can level them

Because i want to dig up the pavers for better drainage before setting cinder blocks back in.

My wife wants to rebuild our existing garden area. Existing setup: wooden raised beds sits on cement pavers that sits on clay soil. To make things worse, after 20 yrs of negligence, pavers have at least couple inches of sod grew on top of it and the pavers glue to the weed screen underneath it...

I just purchased the thumb and the 3rd function kit as mentioned by jbf43. Will see how it installs.

Does it need 3rd function valve or diverter is sufficient?

Does it need 3rd function valve or just diverter valve?

It seems i don’t even find a diverter valve kit on my tractor. Are they universal? Regarding the grapple, what is the cheap way to go? I’ve seen the add on for the existing bucket. Soes that work ok?

So i find myself in need of a grapple when i clear brush. I probably doesn’t need to curl the bucket and grab at the same time. Is the diverter valve kit and the grapple all i need? What is the benefits vs a 3rd function kit? The price doesnt seem to be too much more. In shopping a grapple, is...

Thanks, I will look for those type of plows, hopefully some rental yard has something similar. It is a bit spendy to purchase right now.

is there an attachment similar to the box blade’s scarifier that i can pull to rip shallow brush out? I noticed box blade usually has 3-4 tines. I am hoping for more closely spaced heavier duty tines than on the landscape rake.

i tried using the toothbar, but with the uneven ground, i kept digging into the ground instead of an even scrape over the surface. Maybe i just need more practice:)

i have a toothbar on my bucket, stump bucket. I have attached a few pic. Most volunteers are from holly, hazelnut and poplar variety. The numerous ferns are everywhere

I have a compact tractor that i am still getting familiar with. I have couple acres of an area filled by a dozen or so holly trees that i'm trying to clear. The trees will be chop down and worked on, but what i'm trying to also accomplish is to make the area more walkable. Right now, after years...

Can anyone recommend a stump bucket for a compact? I think the shorter length bucket would minimize risk of straining the fel? I read in other threads and someone said not push but pull with the stump bucket? What does that mean?

What about supertech heavy duty hydraulics and tranny fluid for the kubota tractor? It says it meets requirrments for several tractor makers including Kubota and JD? It’s $60/5 gal, substantially cheaper than udt2.

Can i safely used this oil for my kubota l2501? We have temp range from 20s to 90s in west coast. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Mobil-Delvac-1300-Super-Heavy-Duty-Synthetic-Blend-Diesel-Engine-Oil-15W-40-1-Gal/17034368?athbdg=L1300

I have the l2501, la525, 64” bucket. Can you recommend something from titan please?

My loader has the factory qa bucket, so does that mean i can use any universal skidsteer pallet fork?

Wow, i haven’t thoughy of that before. Weight most likey under 400 lbs for brush moving. So i think the clamp on is sufficient

What is the consensus on those? I just need something to move brush from point a to point b, less than bucket load limitation by far. Or should i still get the qa version...

I am looking at a L2501 with pinned loader bucket configuration. What is the way to convert it to ssqa/qa? Is ssqa/qa the same thing? My end goal is to be able to use a stump bucket or fork. Thank you for all the advice in advance. What is the cost to put the quick attach on the tractor? I...

Nice physics detour:) I am actively looking for a gently used L2501. I plan to bring a friend who owns couple tractors with me, but Is there a checklist somewhere that shows me what to look for pre-purchase? Thanks again.

I meant backhoe. Those prices in my previous are used, but less than 50 hrs used. Hst, fel. i went to kubota’s build your own website, it priced the b2601 about 19.5- 1.5k rebate, l2501 costs 18.8 after 2k rebate. All includes fel. i realize it is a seller’s market, so dont know how things...

So thanks to all the advice here that convinces me that a BX is not the best one for me, i have been leaning towards a B23xx or L2501. Used prices are about 16.5k and 18k respectively. is the pricing seems right? Is warranty transferrable? i have a friend that has attachments etc for his...

Thanks for all the advices from different angles. Granted, some aspects are a bit more advanced for me to grasp, but i appreciate anyway. i can see the correlation between weight and stability, strikes a fine balance between able to work safely and efficiently, vs small and nimble enough to get...

Thanks for the advice. I have 5 ac of uneven wooded area that the tractor will work on, grading, brush clearing, up and down hill moving feed/hay, moving tree trunks etc.. I was looking at the bx2380, 25hp, 1500lbs, a bit smaller than the b3200. If the b3200 extra power/weight is beneficial, i...

I am looking at a 33 hp kubota b3200, 4wd, 1700 lbs. Wheelbase 65”. would it be maneuverable between a grove of trees 15’ apart, on an uneven slope?

Is the dpf that much of a detriment? Would you pass on one because of it?

New used here. Is the b3200 too much machine for the new user? How does it differ from L2501 from a user standpoint? which one will cost more on the used market? If all things equal?

I have identified about 15-20 for now. It should clear up enough space for us to do what we need. Does anyone knows any foresters in sw WA?

Also, is a 16hp Kubota b7300 will be significantly inferior to its 25hp subcompact?

I am south of Olympia. I just posted on craigslist too, see if anyone could use the hardwood.

Both looks to be well taken care of. Good paint, no rust, recent trip to the dealer for maintenance checkup. Both about 15k, with fel and mid mower. Is it a fair price?

I have been asking locally if anyone would be interested, but maybe i should reach out more areas

Both subcompact, JD is a bit heavier and more hp. Both less than 300 hrs. Any benefit to one over another? Or mostly brand loyalty? Thank you.

If you can find a used l2501, about 2-5 yrs old with less than 300 hrs on the clock, what is the range of fair price? I looked at tractorhouse, and they have from 23k to 34k!!

Looks sharp. Best of luck

I have identified about 15-20 trees that i want to take out, its on a downhill slope, ground very uneven due to years of neglect, i have cleared the under bushes and goats have cleared more, but unsure if a dozer can move freely? is hiring a excavator still best bet?

Thanks for all the valuable advice.

All the holly has been grown for 20-30 years, but sadly the last 10 years before we bought the place they were left completely unattended. . Would i be able to use the fel to push the small ones over? I could cut the larger ones and then grind the stump?

Most roots are about 15” diameter. There are quite a few diseased trees that we want to take out. Soil is always moist here in pac nw:)

Appreciate all the advice above. I am trying to rent a 25hp kubota to see if it can handle what i need before investing in a 35+ compact tractor.

The ford is 4x4, with fel, about 400 hrs. I will need to learn on how to wrench an old diesel.

I have come across a 1)Massey gc1715 (sub-compact) almost brand new for 11k, or a 2) older 800 hr L3410 for about 15k or 3)a more beatup L2600f w/o fel for 7k, 4) old Ford 1700 low hrs for $7k. Didn’t know if i should look for specific weight/hp class? Is it better to have a newer model...

As a future tractor owner, honestly i don’t know what i can do with simply a fel on a tractor. I want to be able to clear a grove of holly, clear blackberry, level an uneven field after clearing, and spread gravel occasionally. My property right now is mostly forested and uneven, a slight...

I know it gets asked here alot, but every property has different needs/concerns, so here it goes. we live in 5+ ac in a wooded property, lots of holly trees need to go, with lots of blackbery bushes, short volunteer brushes around the taller trees. We live in pac nw. I am considering either a...

I have a grove of old holly trees that my wife is tasking me to clear out. They are about 20-30’ tall, spaced about 15’ apart, on a 10 deg down slope. How to go about doing that? Are holly trees have deep roots or shallow enough to be able to use the tractor to push it over? I am new to tractor...

It has 800 hrs, rock rake, extra big bucket and beat up brush hog. Asking 17.5. looking across tractorhouse, prices vary alot, from 7k to 16k. Wonder why? I know the different tranny and mileages matter.

Consider my first tractor and unsure where can i find pricing guide. Looking at a L3410 with hydrostatic, and 3 extra attachments. What is it worth or go about evaluating it’s value? Thanks.

Anyone have seen one or driven one? I like the size of the bed, but not sure it can travel over a bit rough terrain other than flat ground, ie climbing in wet grass. It seems to have 2wd, about 600 cc engine.

The utv will be about 600-700 lbs lol

Sorry, i should clarify, it will be used on a utv ie kawasaki mule, or brute force atv to haul feed uphill, not any mowing.

Would a 2wd be sufficient for uphill about 10% slope in wet grass? Ie something like the kawi mule or brute force 300? Or i should keep looking for a 4wd? I should clarify, it will ve used mainly in carrying feed, not mowing.

Thanks for all the advice, keep looking

Owner said map sensors was bad, and a mechanic tore and rebuild pistons, everything. It is one of the hisun, fwiw. Just concerned how hard to fix things down the road, i am purely using it to haul feed/hay.

Is there any downside to buying an used rebuilt motor utv that was being used as a hunting rig? Thanks.

It has 618 hrs, comes with fel. It has a repair done to the front axle. If it is worth looking at it in person, what should i look for? Is hydraulics leak common or hard to fix? I am new to tractor. My purpose is to clear some medium dogwood and move brush to burnpile. Which attachment is best...

New guy here. Looking to buy a compact for use in our 5 ac backyard, pushing gravel, clearing trees, move brush etc. I am looking at an ad for a NH tz24da, with 24hp diesel, fel. I can post the link to the ad, but not sure if it is allowed here, asking for eight thousand. What do you guys think...
