He shares candid impressions of how steady and controllable it felt with the hydrostatic drive, plus his honest opinion that regular use like this would wear the little tractor out fast. Good for viewers curious about the L2501's real capability under hard, unplanned use rather than a spec-sheet walkaround.

Yes, it baled over 500 square bales in one day, working it pretty hard, and the creator was impressed at how well it managed it.
It felt steady and controllable, letting the operator speed up or slow down in real time without clutching down or power shifting.
The creator says no, he would not use a tractor that small regularly for baling, believing it would shorten its life if worked that hard all the time.
