You can get a lot of use out of a 24 HP tractor, either in a smaller frame or larger. As has been mentioned, unless ground engaging or high PTO use, a 24 HP is just about as good as a larger tractor. Uses less fuel too.
On your MT2501, do you have a back ballast like a brush hog on the 3 pt? The farther out back the ballast is, the more weight it will take off of your front axle when using the FEL. Hence easier to turn without power steering.
