Read articles →This is an owner comparing a neighbor's Kubota MX5200 against his own L2501, focused almost entirely on hydraulics: third-function loader wiring, power-beyond return routing, rear remote circuits, hydraulic top/side link setup, and valve placement. It also briefly notes cruise control, high/medium/low range, clutch and brake pedal layout differences, and AG vs turf tires. It's a casual, exploratory walkaround, not a full review, best suited for L-series or MX-series owners curious about hydraulic differences.
Posted by the Ben Pelster channel, an owner comparing tractors casually rather than delivering a polished or expert review.
The MX5200 has an extra place to grab hydraulics near the three point base, two rear circuits, hydraulic top and side link, and a different power beyond return routing than the L2501.
Yes, the owner notes it looks like the MX5200 has cruise control along with high, medium, and low range settings.
On the MX5200 the brake is on the left side, while on the L2501 it is in front of the direction or travel pedals.
