Read articles →This is a first-time owner's walkthrough of a brand-new, zero-hour L2501 with the LA526 loader, focused on the after-delivery inspection rather than field work: checking the radiator screen, air filter, battery ports, oil dipstick, and front axle fluid. It also covers rough cost breakdown (tractor, loader, implements) and financing advice. No loader operation or fieldwork shown, useful mainly for buyers wanting a delivery-check checklist.
Posted by a first-time Kubota owner sharing personal impressions from their own new purchase, not a dealer or professional reviewer.
Lift the loader up and lock it, then pull the screen out, blow it off, clean it, and slide it back in where a spring locks it in place.
Check the radiator screen, air filter, battery ports, oil dipstick level, and front axle fluid, since dealers sometimes leave air pockets that prevent full fill.
There is a manual transmission with an actual clutch and gears, and a hydrostatic transmission, HST, which this L2501 has instead of a manual clutch setup.
No, the tractor comes with just the ROPS standard, and the loader attachment like the LA526 must be added separately at additional cost.
