#51 LA525 Loader Removal Install L2501 L3301 L3901

- Today i removed the LA525 loader to do some mowing. I then show how to reinstall the front loader. I take the loader off to make the tractor more maneuverable as well as take some weight off the front end. Doing so also reduces the need to use 4wd.

Good demonstration! I can’t believe you’d talk about me like that for never removing my loader 🤣🤣! I actually like the ride quality better with the loader and in most cases need the weight of it. But I’ve definitely been in situations where not having it on would be nice. I think a lot of people are intimidated by removing the loader but like you said it’s not bad at all, as long as it’s parked in a good spot! Take care!
Lol I would never say bad about Ben Kennedy! I guess it’s just personal opinion. I think it rides way better with it off, especially on the little l series, tires are air and no wheel weights, I have been considering wheel weights for the m series. A nice steel ballast like you have would be a good option for counter balance the loader too!
@@HillsideAcres Honestly the biggest reason I like leaving the loader on is for a park brake. Where mine doesn’t have the park selection I don’t trust the foot brake latch and it will roll even in gear with the engine off. So the loader gives that extra security when parked on hills.
@@khtractors I can completely agree with that, especially knowing that most places in your region are probably going to be parking on a hill lol. I was originally planned to purchase the 6060 with the 8 speed but they told me i would have to wait to get r1 tires switched on so i talked my self into the 7060 with 12 speed that was on the lot with r1s already.

"Not like hooking up a PTO shaft, everyone knows how that goes" :D Almost spit out my coffee on that one.
I have only had my loader off once. The Westendorf loader on the 2520 John Deere has never been off. I have no need to have either one off. The time that I had the loader off of the Kubota L2501 was to make wiring the light bar on the ROPS easier. Hooking and un hooking the loader was a snap. Thanks for sharing Richie.
I feel like I’m the only one that prefers the loader off when I don’t need it on, maybe it’s because I prefer moving at faster paces. Thanks for stopping by Gary
@@HillsideAcres , I get it Richie. Where I mow, it is a really good idea to leave the mower on. Chances are really good that I am going to need it. Maybe next year, I will have gotten the overgrown brush under control here and things will be different.
Good job. After watching your video, I could do it too if needed. Thanks!
Great video & easy to follow. To bad I have a JD. LOL 👍
Is it that different? Im really not sure, my only experience i have with john deere are antique two cylinders!
@@HillsideAcres Kind of but not really. From the cab you take the weight off pivots & then flip to huge clips from the seat. Once it is un-clipped you then have to un-hook the hydraulic lines and back away.
Thanks for the video I got my 2501 hst coming any day. I really didn’t want the hst model. But the dt model didn’t have a live pto and that I just can’t figure out?? Lol!!
Not having a live pto on a gear tractor where you will be using the clutch a lot didnt make much sense to me. We like the hst as we bought it for mostly mowing and barn chores. The 7060 does the heavy jobs. You will be happy with it !
I tried to take my FEL off yesterday and couldn’t get it to lift off. Now I realize that it won’t work without the bucket. I had my grapple attachment on. I love having the bucket or grapple on when brushhogging, but the tractor rides so rough and bounces, so I’m going to try and remove the FEL and take about 5lbs of air out of the back tires.
Yes you need something on the front to roll it off the frame. Leaving the loader on is good if you don’t know what is under you and can find the stumps and other suprises but for the regular stuff taking the loader off makes the tractor ride so much better in my opinion !
Have you done a review on the Pats quick hitch? That might be one of my next upgrades for my B3200.
I haven’t, maybe I’ll try to do that, I’ve been very happy with the pats as it will work with any sized impliment!
Looks like I need to check mine out since I am sure it is similar. Sounds like no front loader makes a smoother mow on rough terrain? Thanks for the video, Richie. Makes me want to try it on my Branson now.
You should! Especially since you’re tires aren’t loaded yet, having the loaded on puts leverage over the front axle making the rear end light, I prefer to have the loader off if I don’t need it on.
I just ordered a new l2501 from my local dealership. does that quick attach for the loader come standard? if not, I definitely want to get in touch with them and add that feature!! thanks for all the great videos!!!
The quick attach is an option and I would strongly urge you to get it even if you don’t think you would need it because you will need it lol! Thank you for watching !
Awesome job explaining, thank you 👍
Thank you
Never took the loader frame off my last tractor, doubt I’ll take this one off either. I like to have it on when I bush hog in case I need to move debris or limbs.
Its good to have on for those reasons. Its worth taking off if you don't need it on, I think it makes a huge difference!
I never took my loader of yet lol !
Hey Richie ,liked the board idea . It was sure a original idea, l must watch the other 4500 " how to take an FEL off a tractor" Vidios. I might like a "how to do a 50hour oil-service" vidio because three are only 4372 of them out there. Thanks for the great Video Sir and happy safe tractoring.
I do have a complete 50 hour service lol!
@@HillsideAcres That was FAST! A nother "oil change vidio" might make me " jump in the lake". Realy "like" the different types. Some are just downright "simple comedy" like stuff " ya learned in the third grade". Thanks for the expedient reply.
Pulling the collar back will let the female connector plugs on and off a little easier.
Thanks, isn’t that the only way they come off?
great video!
Thank you
That comment about the PTO shaft made me feel so much better. I learn most of this stuff myself or from videos and i have spent an embarrassing amount of time lying on the ground cursing at the PTO connection, never really sure if I am just making it more difficult or not.
This video was SO helpful - thank you!!!
Hello from my Minnesota UA-cam Channel! I'm a John Deere guy myself but thanks for the nice video.
Thanks for watching Ricky.
If I did it all over again I would not have gotten the swift tach (Leaks) loader your setup looks more reliable. see you on the next one : )
That’s interesting, we were originally considoring a B series for a smaller tractor, but decided we really don’t need the mid pto and the l was about the same price. I thought the Swift tach was awesome. Maybe just the idea of it was. Thanks for watching Mitch!
That seemed easy enough! Josh's tractor has the quick hitch and it comes in handy since we tend to switch between the forks and the bucket quite often. Thanks for sharing!! Enjoy your videos!
Yes both of ours have ssqa on the loaders. Makes switching front end attachments super easy!
Good demo on how to remove the loader Richie, it looks like it’s still wet in your area 😕 hopefully things will dry up soon because I bet you probably need to cut some hay. Have a great week 🙋🏼♂️👍🏻🙂
The water just keeps on coming! Havent had a day in July without rain so far. Rivers are flooding up into the streets. Last nights storm fried our power converter in our 5th wheel so no fridge and a/c. we will be sleeping in the off grid trailer tonight to keep cool. We just cant win lately. Thanks for stopping by Luc.
@@HillsideAcres hope things get back to normal soon Richie 👍🏻, good luck 🙋🏼♂️
Bummer about no AC. Hope that is resolved quick. August is coming.
new power converter will be here today should be good, slept in the toy hauler trailer last night, gets very cold in here ! Thanks for watching !
I couldn’t stand looking out the window of the house and seeing my loader sitting in the yard out the weather . I can’t do it . 😂 370 hours and no loader removal yet . I can’t leave a tractor out side either .🤷♂️
Since the huge fire we had, pretty much everything is outside full tie until we finish fighting out local building department to put new buildings up!
Good video Ritchie. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for stopping by Paul, always good to hear from you!
Removing the loader helps eliminate the bounce when operating on rough terrain. Have a great day.
Thats for sure! Loader removed really does make for a smoother ride. Thanks for watching Bob!
Richie, I rarely remove my loader from either of my Kubota tractors. When major service is required is when they are removed. I find the loader very useful for most things that I do. I have also found it very difficult to reinstall the hydraulic lines if the temperature changes between the time of removal and reinstalling. Two wrenches are required to relieve the hydraulic pressure in the loader lines. You will experience this at some point in time, remember crack one line and that will help. Great video!
Paul
If you get hydraulic pressure a brass punch wrapped in a rag will completely solve that, maybe two minutes tops on or off. Opening up a fitting will usually result in a oil shower. I believe a company called “Waite” has just introduced a tool for relieving the pressure as well. Having the loader on for field work just makes for more wear on the tractor as well as the field.
Thanks. I didn't even realize I had the kick stands lol. Will make finish mowing around the house and stuff a lot easier.
Happy that i could help to make your life easier!
Great "how to" video. To the point, good audio and easy to follow.
Thanks for sharing.
Appreciate you watching David!
Very good demo. You explained it so I could do it easily. Thanks.
Really happy this was able to help you! Appreciate you watching too!
Thanks for sharing great demonstration and it is that easy i take mine off a lot
If im not filming it i think i could have it on or off in under 60 seconds easily! A lot of people are intimidated to taking off the loader for some reason! Thanks for watching i subbed to you guys as well!
We leave the loaders on both our kubota m5-111 and john deere 5075m but will remove the forks when doing hay (except for hauling hay of course 🤣) or bush hogging. Our john deere 5210 doesn't have a loader but it has the hook ups for it if we ever decided to get a loader for it.
I love taking the loader off the m7060 for hay, maybe just a personal preference but i think it even rides alot better with it off. M5 is a really nice tractor !
Most of our hay ground is fairly smooth except for a few ground hog holes I always seem to find and forget to fill in each year 🤣.
@@longfarmsTn Man there is one hole on some ground i have across the road and i never get around to filling it in lol maybe next year ill get to fill it in!
@@HillsideAcres 🤣.
your vids are great, thanks for the info!
I do my best! i appreciate you watching!
That is a great demonstration. Best I’ve seen to date.
Thanks Jack! I appreciate the feedback and you watching.
If you have a skid steer style quick attach, dropping the bucket may accomplish what you want a little easier. Some maintenance may be a lot easier with no loader, though. Great video, great hat!
A Standard bucket on a LA525 is 160lbs and the loader is 860lbs. Really makes a difference. A lot of people are surprised to see a kubota owner with a massey hat Its for a local dealer i have bought a few implements from. I would love an 80s massey fergusen. My baler would technically be massey as well. Thanks for watching
@@HillsideAcres I wonder how much the loader on my Massey 2607H weighs... I always guessed about 1200 lbs with the 84" bucket...
@@loganhurst992 I would probably say more than that the loader in my m7060 weighs 1600 without bucket and I believe the had bucket is close to 600lbs !
@@HillsideAcres That's pushing the 2607H with fluid and a 3 pt attachment really close to 10k. I don't think my wife's Honda Pilot will pull it...
@@loganhurst992 Thats about what the 7060 weights in at with loaded tires and cast wheel centers? Is this Logan from fabbed fun? I think I just asked if your rears are loaded lol !
Whenever I have to reinstall my loader we usually have a bunch of snow on the ground and now nothing lines up 😂 I love how easy that pivots off the tractor because the bucket is so heavy. I should try to put weight in my BX bucket to try and achieve the same result 🤔 great tutorial!
Snow can be a real pain! But for some reason I enjoy plowing ? Something I may never understand lol thanks for watching !
@@HillsideAcres I like moving snow too but I bet it’s more fun with a cab 😂
@@KillingItCountry I got to say, I think I would enjoy the cab in the summer more than in the winter, I can layer up and dress properly for cold weather no problem but there is no escape form heat and humidity in an open station !
@@HillsideAcres that’s why my wife always wants the mini ex and I get the BX 😂
