    'Round here, in the winter... I couldn't imagine going 30mph in a Cadillac with our frost heaves. We've got some doosies that in the spring, when the snow melts, it looks like an automotive scrap yard with all the mufflers, tailpipes and plastic parts emerging out of the snow banks.:rofl: :lol:

    Took the opportunity today to do the 50 hour service on the Kubota used the shop vac to change the transmission and hydraulic filters so as not to lose to much hyd. oil worked excellent only lost what was in the filters.

    I have lost some but not quite that much!
    That trailer was an old horse trailer that was given to me years ago. It had trees growing up thru it and was in rough shape #repurpose. It was a good day out cutting with my Son.
    Thanks Well Seasoned No cables this time I am still using that chain but the teeth are getting rather short.

    Great pics! Bet you appreciated the help too. What size tractor you got there? Looks like it’s handling what you’re asking of it well!

    Kubota L2501, does everything I ask so far! He appreciates my help as this load went to his house.

    Looks very capable! That’s actually the model I’ve been looking into. May have to pick your ear as I get closer to having enough to buy one. Looks really good!

    I bought it last May looked around a bit was thinking of going with the 3301 for the extra HP, the salesman convinced me the 2501 was all the tractor I would need.

    You all sound like a great resource for me as I get closer to pulling the trigger. Just reading the info in this thread itself has been helpful too. Thank you all!

    I had wondered the same thing about the L2591 vs the L 3301, but if you can do what your doing in your pics, that’s about as much as I can imagine needing it for.
