- Welcome to our channel, we are a small christmas tree farm located in western Ky. We planted our first tree in the spring of 2018 and have been learning ever since. Come along with us as we continue to grow!
Well the tractor is sold so i go over a few of my likes and dislikes. Plus a look at my firewood business start up inventory.

I'm a proud owner of a L2501 and continue to be impressed with it's capabilities. The torque makes all the difference. I agree with the fuel, but at 6'4" I'm not as hindered by it. The rops bolts are a stupid design for those of us who need to lower them to get it in the garage, especially in my Wisconsin winters. I'll stand behind this statement, the L2501 is by far the best bang for the buck!
I couldn't agree more! It was a beast for sure and it's capabilities far outweighed the original thought of what could be done with it! I never dropped the rops but always wondered exactly how. The setup was very confusing because of the worst running through the bolts
Me too !
I have a 2019 L2501. I'm coming up on 200 hours and it has done a complete renovation of a 10 acre property, taking it from totally wild to 5 mowed acres plus nature trails, some ditches, ponds, grading, about 300ft of new gravel driveway, removing an old pool deck and masonry patio, tilling a 100x75 garden, and processing about 25 large trees into firewood. I too have nothing but praise for this machine. It may be small but it punches way above its weight class. Congrats on your 39! I can't wait to see how it performs.
I honestly can not say enough for the machine. I would recommend it to anyone from novice to experienced. Ill be filming a video with the new one this weekend to see what it can really do since the latest upgrade!
I just purchased 10 acres of wooded land. I’m happy to read this because I will be doing the same work. I have been researching for 2 months now and have decided to go with the L2501.
Hey Doug in going to be doing much of what you've said above very soon with this machine, can you overview the attachments you have?
Howdy Doug, Are you still happy with your l2501? People tell me I would be sorry not to go bigger. They say its underpowered for a tiller and mower. I have same acreage size and process our firewood too. I want to get a tiller and brush hog. Didn't want an engine that has to regen and such.
Hey WD, I may not be Doug but I can tell you what I used with it. It handled a 50 inch tiller no problem. A 60 inch bushhog in thick tall grass, you had to go slower but it still handles it no problem. I also have a 72 inch finish mower and it was a tad heavy for the tractor. I probably should've went with a 60 finish mower. Otherwise a set of pallet forks, boxblade and chainsaw is what I used to clear some of my land.
The L2501 is a very good machine. I have one as well. I love mine.
I spoke with it's new owner today and he loves it. Says it's more than he imagined for his first tractor. They are great machines!
I just bought one today. Good to hear positive feedback.
Good review A.J. I sure do like my L2501. Very happy with it. It does everything and even more than what I intended to use it for when I got it. They are really nice tractors.
I asked it to do more than it ever should have and never once had a problem. The new owner has even said the same thing. He has found uses for it he never thought of.
The L2501 is a very good tractor. At 400 hours I don't see why it "is time" for it to go. It's not even broken in yet.
It really wasn't and I know that for sure. It was only because of a tax thing for the farm.
The gas filling on the top can easily be solved by using a $15 battery powered fuel dispense that fits in your 5 gal diesel jug. I put my 5 gal jug on top of an inverted 5 gal bucket and the hose reaches the filler hole.
I have a b2320 and am working with the dealer to upgrade to a L2501. That little b2320 is a lot of tractor for such a small package! I’m excited for the upgrade too!
I started with a b series and it was an awesome little machine for its size!
I got ICOT L2501 it in April 2023 and I got 580.3 hours on it and it is so light I we ny to go on my building and rolled iit over and it’s not steep and it rolled over I had my first L2501 burnt uu in our 4 stall garage and 4 other buildings burn up i
To lost everything and that Kubota L2501 I have 33 acres farm and I took it over every hill that I thought it would roll over and it never came off the ground but my new one I can’t keep the rear tires on the ground and I can take Garden crashers I put them right in my building and they never rolled this when I can’t keep on the ground. They made it light a lot lighter than the other one. You might wanna try a new one for you. Bye. Have a good day, buddy. Thanks a lot.
I’m so happy with my l2501 !!!
We are getting a l4060le. I posted a video this morning that has a pic of it in the shop getting put together. I'm editing the first impressions video tonight as it was delivered a couple days ago. I like the idea of the small transfer pump. That would also solve the air lock issue in cans nowadays.
buy another one like it. I bought one this past year and love what that thing can do as well.
I got another orange one a few days ago. I have a video posting tomorrow with a pic of the new ride in it.
I don't recommend the HST there's nothing the matter with the stick. you have the wrong tires You should have got that AG tires. You also need ballast in the rear tires. The HST transmission whines All the time, and is annoying.
Your complaint on fuel tank...I got a siphon hose from academy sports 7$ it was for boats...has a ball in a hose..very easy to use...made fueling tractor much easier
A view of the whole tractor might be a good idea, I don't think Martin Scorcese has anything to worry about
I’m glad to see these reviews. I’m in the process of getting a 2501 HST (I hope), lol. Have you ever thought of using the small hand pumps like we used to use for Kerosene heaters back in the day? We lost power for 11 days during Isabel, no electricity, no gas stations for a while. I put a piece of hose on it and used it to syphon gas out of my old truck but gravity works in your favor. This way it would be uphill so might be exhausting now that I think of it but I’m only 5’7” so I need to rig something up, maybe sitting the can above the tractor on a small platform or if it would stay, on top of a step ladder, then the kerosene hand pump would work like a dream, no scratching, no spillage, etc. thanks
i have heard of people building a " bridge" so to speak across the loader arms and it worked great from what i understand!
Keeping a little rubber fill mat around your can,will solve all the issues.
We almost got a L2501 watched some vids saw one where A guy said we’ll just signed the paperwork and 20 hours in he needed more power and well at that point it’s a loss depreciation you know . For the same 35k we went with the L3901 and shit I live on 20 acres and it’s more then enough maybe to much but for the price difference of really not much why not you know I hope you like your new 💯🙏🏽
That was one thing I should've done was get the 3901 but I didn't. So the new one is 40 hp so that should be plenty and it's more tractor all around. Thanks for watching!
The difference in the 2501 and 3901 is about $5,000 I think. That’s 25-30% so price can be a deal breaker
@@jerrytalley802 if your worried about 5k on a 35k tractor purchase you should not be in the market for a new Tractor Js !! My tiller was almost 4K 😴
@@mexi9787 Those who don't worry about how much money they spend end up with none. Most people don't have an unlimited income.
@@jeffbaldwin9842 hey man I’m a 24 year old truck driver Iv worked hard for what I have at My Age ! I’m not talking down on anyone just saying if 5k is a deal breaker on a brand new Piece of equipment then maybe one should look at more of the used market. Just happened I did not end up under powered was my whole point here … gezz
Love my 2501. Need a second one, maybe 4701 for running a no till seed drill
I looked at the 4701 when looking to upgrade. I didn't need the extra hp so I went more for creature comfort. And the l4060 has a slightly bigger loader. Let me know which way you go!
I have a L2501 HST, which is also being sold. It is an AMAZING machine! I moved up to a LS MT357 Shuttle Cab, which is also an amazing machine, but I'm about to pop, because you didn't say what your new tractor is !!! Inquiring minds want to know. : )
I like your new L4060. Regarding the L2501, do you think I could pull the rcr1860 brush cutter (600 lbs) with my l2501 FEL removed ? Thanks
I had a 1260 which is just shy of 500 lbs on it with out the fel. I could almost bounce the front tires off if i dropped it too quick and stopped it before it touched the ground. With the additional weight spread over the the entire brush cutter it probably wouldnt make much difference.
What new tractor are you getting?
For you guys that have an L2501 HST, could you please measure your hydraulic level for me? I need to know the measurement on level ground left to right and front to back but even if sorta level would still help me. I need the measurements using a clean straight wire down the fill hole at the back below the seat back. You'll need a wire at least 17" plus more if you leave a big hook on end so it can't go anywhere if you dropped it. On mine I played only a bit taking gentle jabs until I got it to sink to the bottom of the transmission case. It was easy to get it down to bottom. It does hit something sorta soon after sticking into hole but was easy to get it past that obstruction. From top of neck mine was 16.25 " or so to the O-ring on filler cap, my fingers sorta big so that's not exact. If you could tell me your dip measurement from bottom of wire to your oil level, I'd appreciate it. Especially if it's right after you did a service and it's showing near the top of the site glass. My site glass is on the left side behind where there's a slight cutout at the bottom on the vertical tranny tunnel. Some are forward from there below the clutch pedal. Not sure if that'd give me an accurate enough dip measurement, so prefer if yours is back behind the clutch pedal too.
I discovered a leak and not sure how much I've lost, leaked onto gravel. Not sure source of leak yet either. Somewhere up centre of tractor about inline with where the filter is. I need to use the tractor to clear some snow but can't get any UTD 2 Super fluid yet. I need to clear snow to get out to purchase it. It'd be great to know my level is just shy of it showing in bottom of site glass. I've jacked right side up a bit and still not seeing it yet in site glass. If mine is too low I don't want to risk damaging the hydrostatic drive.
(I know it's hydraulic fluid, not crankcase oil).
Thanks much if any of you could help with this 👍
I just got rid of my l2501 loved the tractor it just didn’t have the pto power for a brush hog in thick tall grass. Also I had the gear drive tractor and seemed like high was to high and low was to low good tractor though.
since i do alot of mowing with it, the hst was the right choice so i can have multiple speeds without changing the rpm.
Looks like you had a stack of logs in the background. How does the L2501 work for that? That is the primary task I am seeking it for.
It worked well but sometimes struggles with more than one large log. The new tractor has more lift capacity and handles them better but of course it is a larger tractor.
So what your saying is that a grand L is coming 3560? 4060... As soon as you said the filler cap is down low I knew. Cheers on the new beast.
Have you pulled a 6’ finish mower with it ever? I’m looking at one and I want to make sure it has the power to pull one successfully.
i have a 60 and on some hills when mowing sideways, it wants to pull the tractor down the hill a bit
Get a sure can 5 gal fuel can and fueling will be easier
How much did you get for that machine
My dealer wants 22k now for just tractor and front loader..says it went up 10 percent..HST about 24k
Used those logs to build something
You keep saying "it's time" but you don't really sound convinced lol. If I liked something that much...my "tax lady" had better come in with some BIG numbers in favor of trading this tractor.
I can say I really didn't want or need to get rid of it but getting a brand new tractor, sure why not! It helps with the depreciation on the farm for sure. At least it moved on to a new owner who can appreciate it as much as me! Thanks for stopping by.
I don't know why you did this video. You did not really mention the tax benefit that made you decide to get another tractor. I can see that if one got a good enough break with the business an upgrade would possibly be a good thing. A larger tractor can do a bit more work in a little less time. I think implements are tax deductible as well and you might have been better off with implements all with quick hitch hook up and perhaps a rear remote and a 3rd function set up if you didn't have one already. I did not see a grapple and you could use one with that lumber, a wood chipper would be nice too. That bigger tractor will require more expensive implements as well. Not to mention the regen process the larger engines require. Good luck with what you are getting. You may need that bigger tractor if Christmas Tree sales go up. I hope for your sake the cancel culture doesn't cancel Christmas. They have been trying for years.
I sure hope they don't get their way. Christmas will always happen here for sure! This tractor had been depreciated out on the taxes so instead of buying more implements all at once and then getting a new tractor in a few years I decided to get a new tractor that is the size that fits our farm and then buy the implements to fit it as time goes.

It definitely blends in more than I assumed it would. I was looking more for a district like a car in the beginning. It would take alot of discounts to go with another brand for sure.
