Kubota L2501

Just get the MX6000 turbo. The 2501 is not very heavy and that makes it very limited

You do realize that the MX is a substantial upgrade in size/weight and a LOT more expensive than the Standard L series tractor, correct?

You don’t typically see an MX compared to an L2501, lol

I sure do love mine though. I never run out of HP and the stability is a noticeable upgrade.

Things that strain my L2501 are no problem with my MX5200. Only thing that I see as a negative is the DPF on the MX. I needed to pull some wood off a hillside yesterday and regen started. I had to park and wait for the regen to finish because the regen required too much RPM to safely operate on the hillside.

I’d love to have an MX too! But, might be overkill for my property….well I can think of a couple tasks that I could get done a whole lot quicker and more efficiently with one! Hmmm…

I too ran into the same issue recently while running a tiller near a building when a regen wanted to happen. Only maybe the second time of running Grand L’s for over 400 hours so only a minor annoyance.

I didn’t notice the flashing REGEN/Raise RPM’s indicator lights on the console at first. When it hit 103% it started beeping.

Most of my regens seem to happen while I’m grading the road or rotary cutting. I just raise the rpms and keep working.

I have a gear drive MX. If it were an HST, I could have more easily reduced my ground speed to compensate for the increased RPM and continued operating on the hillside while the regen was in process, but with the gear drive, it seemed more prudent to park and let the regen run its course.

Makes sense. Mine is HST

I've used 25 HP CUTs for 40 years around my hilly [30 head] cattle and tree farm. Plenty of power.
