Read articles →An owner sharing impressions after roughly 23 hours of use on a six-acre South Texas property, where the L2501 serves mainly as a mower. Covers tire choice rationale (R14 over AG/turf), hydrostatic vs. gear-drive decision, fuel economy, loader removal ease versus reinstallation frustration, four-wheel-drive engagement quirks, power bog in thick grass, and PTO feel. Practical, conversational, and honest about annoyances, most useful for suburban or small-acreage buyers considering this mowing-focused configuration.

The owner says fuel economy seems great, estimating about two full tanks of gas used over roughly 23 hours of use.
