Danny,
Not much else to say but then did not expect more than I was paying for. The L2501 is the entry level of the "L" series, nothing more. I can tell you though, this tractor really grunts when needed, perhaps having more torque than first we thought? Comfort is great as are the controls, rocker petal, brakes etc. Knowing I wanted this tractor or the CK2610 we decided on Kubota and mostly for reasons of knowing the dealer well, his having sold Kubota only and for 38 years, their mechanic shop and their parts handling. These are all important to us, not just the cheapest purchase price, and I really did not want to "break in" a new dealer who had just began selling the tractor brand I purchased. This is just me being a business man, not a complaint on anyone or any product. Did not consider resale mostly because of never having sold any of our three old tractors besides, my Sons will use this Kubota until it dies beyond repair and ready for the scrape pile. If you plan to sell then resale value is a huge consideration. Whatever you choose, be very certain the dealer and his staff are someone you can be comfortable with and rely on before AND after the sale.
