Tractor
Kubota L2501DT
Hi all, going to pick up my first tractor, Kubota L2501dt, at the end of the month. Not my first time on a tractor, my folks have a l3130, but now that me and the wife have a few acres we decided we should get our own. Pretty much plan on using it for moving dirt, wood, and plowing snow in the winter. I plan on fixing some pot holes in our driveway as well at least until we can get it paved.

I picked the 2501dt to not have to worry about the emissions on the more powerful tractors, and because I hate the noise a hydro makes. I think I'm going to break them everytime I hear them whine. It's also the biggest smallest tractor to use around our property.

I found a good combo deal (tractor, SSQA FEL, box blade, and 20ft 10k lbs trailer). I'm pretty pumped to get it!!!! Cant wait to get a tooth bar and tear up some stuff around here!!! Glad to be on the forums!!

Welcome to the forum and congrats on the new rig! BTW- good call on the 20ft trailer. 18ft is too small, ask me how I know!

You'll love the 2501. Its really a great machine. Not sure what tires you are getting but I suggest filling them. The loader can pick the rear axle off the ground and you could tip over. Even with filled rear tires, mine will get unstable picking heavy objects.

Thanks for the heads up! And I've been cursed with too small a trailer before too, just took a bit of explaining to the wife and she got bored with the technicals and told me to "do what I want" so I got the 20 footer Lol!!!

Any recommendations for fill material? It does get cold for spells here and the temps can drop to zero at night in the winter but be over 100 in the summer. Better yet I'll ask in the appropriate section!

Thanks all!!
