It also touches on the Tier 4 emissions advantage of staying under 25 hp, tire type tradeoffs (R1 vs. R4), and loader and ROPS safety basics. Existing L2501 owners or those already leaning toward buying will find the most to relate to here; serious spec-shoppers will want more data.
An owner-operator sharing personal impressions from his own experience with the L2501.
Gary lists reliability, Kubota's strong dealer and parts network, and the three-point hitch as his top three reasons to buy an L2501.
