Dustin covers the manual vs. hydrostatic transmission tradeoff, the gear/range shifter layout, loader capacity, and real tasks completed, tilling, bucket work, and mowing. He briefly addresses the new-vs-used cost math and zero-percent financing. Light on specs but useful for buyers weighing everyday practicality on a small property.
Posted by the Life of Lind channel, where the host presents as a new owner sharing early impressions from personal use on a small homestead.
The owner compared a $5000 used tractor needing $2000 more in repairs to a new L2501 with implements for $20000, and chose new with zero percent 84-month financing.
The owner prefers manual because there is less to go wrong, and skipped the hydrostat since it costs about $2000 more and they are comfortable with manual shifting.
The owner estimates the bucket can lift about a thousand pounds, calling it half a ton but still quite helpful for moving rocks and gravel.
The owner says tilling an entire good sized garden plot took only about 45 minutes.
