Read articles →This is a vlog-style dealership visit rather than a hands-on review: the couple drives around Maine, then walks a lot comparing an existing L2501 against a newer L2502, pointing out small changes like seat adjustments, pedal placement, PTO switch style, dash shape, and tire options (R14 vs R1/R4). It's a casual, surface-level spot-the-differences chat, not a run of loader or PTO work, best for current L2501 owners curious about what's new.
Appears to be an owner-operator homesteading couple sharing casual, personal impressions rather than professional or dealer-affiliated reviews.
Seat adjustments are better, pedals moved to one side, the PTO switch has a bent lever, and the dash and hood shape are different. The motor seems the same.
The L2502 shown has R14 semi-turf tires, which are in between R1 and R4, while the L2501 comes with R1 tires.
No, they changed very little. It is basically the same machine with small updates to the seat, pedals, PTO switch, and dash.
