Whether you just got a new L2501, L3302, L3902 or L4701, you may have some questions! In this video, Zach walks through the basics such as grease points, operator station, checking fluid levels and more!
Great tutorial Zach. I have the L2501 gear drive with the ag tires. I absolutely love it. I use mine for mowing 100 acres of timber pasture with a 60 inch rotary utter. I also use it for dragging up logs and tree tops for firewood. I had my reservations as to whether or not 25 horsepower would be adequate. It has done above and beyond for me. I seem to be in the minority here when it comes to gear drive vs. hydrostatic. I neede the extra pulling power of the gear drive and I am sorry, but I do not like Kubotas treadle pedal. I also have a Kubota GR 2120 diesel lawn tractor and I love it. I still have my big John Deere lawn tractor that stays hooked on to a lawn vac. I much prefer the twin touch pedals of the John Deere over the treadle pedal. It certainly is not a deal breaker for me but I wish Kubota would offer a choice between the 2 systems. I bet their treadle pedal would be phased out entirely after time. Thanks for sharing this
This video has been tremendously helpful. I bought a new L3902 a few months ago, and the dealer did NOTHING in regards to a walk around orientation. Well done! And thank you.
Thanks man. Haven't been on a tractor in 18 years. Picking up the L4802 in 2 days. These modern tractors have so many more bells and whistles than grandpas old Ford.
Awesome tutorial Zach, very informative great Job! I am in the market to purchase my first Tractor ever and am leaning towards the Kubota. You just helped me make up my mind. 👏
Incredible job. Very well done. Maybe I missed it did you mention the sight gauge on the side of the tractor to check hydraulic oil. It's been a while since I've messed with tractors but I thought that was there on the 2501.
Every 10 hrs is like once a day. And was that all the grease zerks or are there more? Thank you for the information as it will come in handy when my L2502 comes in.
I'm looking at replacing my IH2444 40 HP tractor. I will be running a tiller, post hole digger, box scrapper, and brush hog. What would be the best tractor for this on 5 ac. L2502 or the L3902?
Well the number one rule to buying a tractor is get bigger than you think you will need, and the IH2444 weighs a ton more than the L series so I wouldn't recommend going down too much in size. For 5 acres though, a L2502 would be plenty of tractor in my opinion and can still run a 60" tiller, 60" bush hog and a box blade. If you have a ton of hills, or want larger implements then you might want to consider the L3902. Or just go for the middle ground and grab a L3302!
I skipped right over it you are correct! If you depress the 3rd button with the 'P' for 5 seconds, then turn on your PTO, you can get out of the seat with the PTO running, and not have the tractor shut off on you. Great for running wood chippers, wood splitters or other implements you need to stand next to while using.
