DIY Tractor Bucket Level Indicator for Less than 10$$ kubota L2501

Here is how I made a bucket level indicator for less than 10$. Hope this helps someone.

Followed your lead and direction and it works PERFECT!!!!! All in, $11.55. Thank you.

[@SouthernStyleLawnCare]

Glad I could help. Love mine

[@D70340]

Nice! Simple, cheap, and effective! My gripe is, every frontend loader made should come with these already on it from the factory.

[@bavarian11]

Looks damn professional. The welding looks exactly like mine and everyone says it looks like shit……even after years of heavy use. I tell ‘em pick your battles son, pick your battles.

[@SouthernStyleLawnCare]

Works like a charm till this day.

[@stuartkorte1642]

Glad I found this. Super KISS and best version I’ve seen. And I have everything already. 👍 I really like the idea of bending the rod at level.

[@SouthernStyleLawnCare]

I use mine weekly. Works like a charm. Glad I could help.

[@FLOUNDERMILKSHAKE]

Thanks for posting this. I followed what you did and installed my own using a gardening rod and some hardware I had laying around my shop. Almost the exact same setup. Cost about $12 and works great.

[@MrRamble123]

Really good idea. I wish I could see it in operation.

[@myronleger5233]

Nice job and great idea that I'm definitely going to do on my L2501dt thanks podna👍

[@rlsaxton1]

Great video. I took your plans and installed the same thing on my Yanmar tractor. Works great! Thanks!

[@SouthernStyleLawnCare]

Awesome

[@KUBBI7488]

Thanks for the idea!!! My cost me to make around $6 with a bolt and scrap metal I already had!

[@SouthernStyleLawnCare]

Thanks for watching. Works great and way cheaper than OEM and its basically the same.

[@mithgo_outdoor]

Derek!! Hope you're doing well man...very cool mod man! My Yanmar SA424 came with one on it and it's a great little tool to have. I need to catch up on some of your videos bro

[@SouthernStyleLawnCare]

Yeah for sure. Busy busy. Hope all is well Mitchell

[@mithgo_outdoor]

@@SouthernStyleLawnCare yea man, all good here. Just waiting for the season to kick back into gear! Hope you have a great 2021 season.

[@darrellgrandadam7229]

Thanks for saving me some money 💰!..Nice job!

[@jimwright8651]

Nice and simple. I like it.

[@ghost_rider221]

glad i found this video before buying one lol thanks

[@SouthernStyleLawnCare]

No problem. It works great.

[@logansimpson305]

Great video

[@Fundaykidzz]

Great video ..sweet thank you KZbinr for posting this diy ..thank the universe for KZbin

[@jameshutton4144]

Great job and thanks!

[@128file]

Do you have a video on making the grill guard, it seems like it works well and may be far less than purchasing one pre made. Thank you

[@SouthernStyleLawnCare]

No video but just weld mesh to front. Do 2 sections so it will still open. It's has saved my grill a ton.

[@128file]

@@SouthernStyleLawnCare I like your bucket level idea and have purchased the items and hope to build it this weekend since it's going to be raining. Thank you

[@marksreviewsandrants8554]

Good job on that.

[@CentralNH]

How long is your steel rod? Great video!

[@SouthernStyleLawnCare]

I believe it was 8ft and I cut some off.

[@philsanchez7643]

Much appreciated

[@rbuggs3658]

pretty dang cool! i can weld almost that good... :) thanks

[@rhlocher]

How long is the steel bar you used for the indicator?

[@SouthernStyleLawnCare]

I'll have to look. I think 6ft.

[@chrisscott6832]

no no no .... get fifty parts and make it as complicated as humanly possible... very nice and simple fix.

[@SouthernStyleLawnCare]

I run the heck out of it and have had 0 issues.

[@rhlocher]

Did you add a Kolpin basket for ROPS storage too? If so, do you suggest and what size square u bolts?

[@SouthernStyleLawnCare]

Yep. Here's a link I posted it in a forum. All you need to know. facebook.com/groups/1647329848638068/permalink/3372362236134812/

[@tomsawyer247]

If you're weld is bad just learn how to grind.

[@tinkertime7165]

Or use thick paint ;-)

[@mikef1570]

A few hours of experience with the tractor and you will find the level indicator useless. Nice job though 👍🏻

[@Fundaykidzz]

Hello talk about the grill guard please is it factory?
