L2501 vs BX vs B

[Ledgemere Farm]

I have ag tires and use a land pride 60" finish mower with gator blades

Saw a few comments on "not to mow". What specifically does the L2501 lack to drag a 4-5 bush hog?

Would you select a B2620, why it over an L series?

L2501 omits the mid-PTO so you cannot operate a Mid Mount Mower, you have to mount some form of Three Point Hitch mower. Those who do woods work prefer not to have vulnerable, forward-facing mid-PTO.

L2501 is supposed to operate a 60" Rotary Mower. I speculate that grass should not be too long and the blades kept sharp to provide a quality cut with 25-horsepower.

Allowing for a 6" overlap, a 48" Rotary Mower cuts a 42" swathe.
Allowing for a 6" overlap, a 60" Rotary Mower cuts a 54" swathe; 28% increase.

To mow longer grass consider a L3301. Same tractor as L2501, one increment more powerful engine.

Tractors with 12" to 14" ground clearance will provide a less violent ride over pasture, relative to BX size tractors with 9" ground clearance. The larger wheels/tires bridge more holes and ruts.


B2650 26-horsepower from 77 cubic inch engine, 1,786 pounds bare tractor.

L2501 25-horsepower from 100 cubic inch engine, 2,623 pounds bare tractor. A significantly more capable machine.




I spreadsheet data on tractors I consider purchasing.


These are residential tractors. Most operators adapt to the size within an hour.
