"I purchased the newer model L2501 (this model is so new that there was no choice in the section here for the L2501, so I had to put in the L2500 to get this to post) this past April. I have been very pleased with this model as it provides plenty of power to use the front end loader with the 4x4 or just pull a bush hog/plow/disc around. This model, being at or under the 25 horsepower range, does not have the diesel particulate filter or a regen. I personally like this as it is one less thing to go wrong on these computerized machines. So far this has been a pleasant experience with the Kubota usage. I also have a 1952 Ford 8N, so I can compare the old with the new. I purchased the new Kubota from Capital Tractor in Montgomery, Alabama and it was an easy process. They are very helpful with any questions that I might have. I could probably use a larger tractor, but have been very satisfied with this one so far. "

"I looked at a lot of small tractors before buying this one. This tractor doesn't have a lot of fancy features, (it still requires the driver to shift gears) but that's what I wanted. The fewer things to go wrong. In the almost 7 years I've had it, I've done very little to it (a couple of hydraulic lines and seals). I use it for moving things with the front bucket and am sure I have gone way over it's rating many times. I have a bush hog type mower for it and a scrape, both work well. If I were going to mow many acres, I'd get a bigger tractor. It'been very reliable and overall a great tractor."

REVIEWER'S ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Pros: Very reliable. Cons: Hard to get my big feet in place when I get on it (not much of a con). Type of User: Homeowner 1-10 Acres Location: USA FL I also considered buying:

"Great tractor. Still has original battery. Starts at -25C no problem. Have built a wood chipper for 3 pt hitch and it is way quieter than the old one. Front tires are dealer only but not badly priced."

REVIEWER'S ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Pros: Reliable and cheap to run. Goes everywhere. Cons: Would like it to be wider for side hilling. Type of User: Homeowner 1-10 Acres Location: CND OT I also considered buying: Kioti CK30, John Deere 3010

"I have an L2500 4wd DT w/loader that I run it through just about everything. Bush hogging, snowblowing, tiller, discing, planting, plowing along with any other task I can find an excuse to find seat time. The tractor goes off old and proven technology no push buttons on this thing. But with that being said it makes this thing about as rugged as tank. Somebody forgot to tell this tractor it is a 25hp because it doesn't act like one. Majority of my heavy load work (bush hogging/discing) is usually done in 6 or 7 the gear which is probably around 8mph with no stuggling at all. This tractor would be perfect if it had a live PTO or two stage clutch but unfortunately it doesn't. Snowblowing without live PTO is definitely a challenge and one reverse speed seems to slow and the other too fast. The tractor trailers well on a light duty 16' tandem axle landscape trailer and can easily be pulled by a 1/2 ton pickup. The L2500 has incredible fuel economy. All said this is a no fuss bare bones work tractor. 775 hours and the only problem is a front wheel seal that will leave a couple drip spot after a couple months. The implements I run behind it are 5' tiller, 5' snowblower, 5' backblade, 5' york rake, 2 bottom plow, 6' bush hog, 6 1/2' double gang disc, 8' seed drill, 2 row planter"

REVIEWER'S ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Pros: Strong solid tractor that can still be readily pulled by a standard 1/2 ton pickup. Cons: Lack of a live PTO. Type of User: Homeowner 10-50 Acres Location: USA MI I also considered buying: John Deere 790, Allis Chalmers 5030

"After more than 10 years with NO problems at all, I wonder what I would have done without it. Other than fluid changes and paint I have done nothing to this tractor."

REVIEWER'S ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Pros: Starts every time for over 10 years. Cons: As I get older, a bigger cockpit would be nice. Type of User: Homeowner 10-50 Acres Location: USA RI I also considered buying:

"I bought my l 2500 4x4 with loader new in 98. I live in Alaska and never had a bit of trouble with it even at 30 below it starts. I bought a heavy duty Kubota back blade and a after market post hole digger. I have knocked down and pulled out roots of many trees, plowed driveways, built corrals, etc. I am now looking for a backhoe. this lil' tractor is just plain tuff---luv it."

"We bought this tractor with 600 hrs on it for $7500. It has performed flawlessly since. We've drilled countless 12" diameter holes with a 3-point auger 3-4' deep for fencing, and tilled an acre or so with the 3-point tiller. One year, we tried making hay with it, running a 7' sickle-bar mower and then a New Holland 310 square baler. The baler recommended 40 hp but this little 25 hp tractor just buckled down and ran that baler fine, even though the baler weighed as much as the tractor. One thing I wish it had was hydraulic down-force on the 3-point hitch. When drilling for fence posts in hard ground, we have to add lots of weight to the auger."

REVIEWER'S ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Pros: Small, versatile, reliable, economical. Cons: Not as strong as a big tractor, can only lift ~ 800 lbs in bucket. Type of User: Homeowner 10-50 Acres Location: USA TX I also considered buying:

"It is a great little tractor which has always done the jobs I got it for. It pushes lots of snow with a 7.5' Meyers snow plow and no chains. I also use it to grade my road, move dirt , gravel, large rock, etc. Some of these jobs should have required a larger tractor but the 2500 did them just fine. I got a tractor this size because it will fit through the 7'X10' door in my heated basement shop. I call it the little tractor that can!"

REVIEWER'S ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Pros: I have never had a problem with it (knock on wood) Cons: It is difficult to get on/off with all of the shift levers & transmission. Type of User: Homeowner 10-50 Acres Location: USA ID I also considered buying:

"The L2500 is an excellent starter tractor. It is dependable, capable, and economical to run. My biggest complaint comes from it's economy status---it lacks a few features that I have come to expect and would prefer to have, like live PTO, more gauges instead of lights, and more room in the operator station. Aside from those forgivable omissions, I love it!"
