Read articles →This is a real-world field session, not a spec review: an owner uses his gear-drive Kubota L2501 with an older 60-inch brush mower to knock down Canadian thistles in a pasture. He explains why he prefers gear drive over hydrostatic for PTO protection and mentions recent gearbox seal repairs, but the video is casual and story-driven, light on hard numbers, best for owners curious about long-term brush-hogging use.

Gear drive does not give live power to the PTO, so stabbing the clutch kills power to the mower, preventing sheared pins or damage during tough mowing.

The front seal in the gearbox was leaking badly, so the owner took the gearbox apart, fixed the seal, and reassembled it.
