Just got back from 3 days in the seat, so I'll join in on this one while it's fresh in my mind.
Standard disclaimer here -- I basically
love my L2500DT,
but...
Although I'm pretty used to it now, the cockpit is quite awkward to climb in and out of -- you pretty much have to land in the seat with your feet in position and facing the right way.
Hydraulic priority system -- did a lot of pile work yesterday, and was mildly annoyed that I could either steer or work the loader, but not both at the same time.
Thanks to MarkC I don't notice the lack of cup holder -- my Chalkley cups are a constant delight. Having also solved the toolbox problem (mounted a good-sized one to right fender, plus up to 3 ammo boxes on the ROPS rack), I don't complain about that any more, either.
One storage problem not yet solved (but churning in my idea mill) is to easily carry:
an ax
loppers
bow saw
pole saw
5-foot prybar
pick
shovel
I frequently want to carry at least 4 of the above for the day's work. On the other hand, I love solving such problems. /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif
