- Today we are looking at the Kubota L2501. This is a workhorse of a tractor with a utilitarian customer in mind. We also do a slight comparison between this and the Kubota LX2610!

Thank you for once more taking time to bring good information. And food for thought!
I got the stick shift and glad I did,this tractor works perfect for me,be sure you get the correct tires and rims for your needs.
Just got the l2501 with r14’s and backhoe. And I’m lucky enough to find out the r14’s work great in April snowstorms 🤬
I really love my Kubota L2501 gear drive. I have the ag tires on mine. Love the way it is set up.
Would you choose HST or Gear drive and why?
@@creepycory7247 , I went with gear drive
#1- It was $1500 cheaper,
# 2- you get quite a bit more pulling power and power to the pto.
It works for me in my application . If you will do a lot of loader work, you may prefer the hydro.
There are not many people who would prefer the gear drive like I have, but I am sure happy with mine.
The best thing with the underpowered 2501 is that shims can be removed from the injection pump putting the engine to its originally engineered spec to about 33Hp. You get a new non emissions tractor with decent power.
Do you have any other info for this modification? Or is it pretty self explanatory?
I bought a L3800 pre emissions model because I worried about not being able to fix everything myself. I have 3 diesel vehicles all deleted after dealing with those issues. If you are like me you don't run yours hard enough to keep the engine from going into regen every 10 hrs and I mainly use mine for the loader/backhoe. I paid the same price as a 2 yr old model, its 2014 and have had it 3 years. Picked up a almost new backhoe for 5700$ off govdeals. You might keep your eyes open they pop up from time to time.

Also I picked up an almost new backhoe (BH77) for 5500$ off Govplanet if you might be looking for one. They come up from time to time and I got lucky. My L3800 is the same as the 2601 just a slightly bigger motor. @@matthoekstra2186
@@matthoekstra2186 I am interested in the same answer, any luck with that?
Living in Australia I have a Kubota MX5200 without any emissions or anti pollution equipment installed. It’s time for Americans to start work towards get rid of government laws forcing these unnecessary gadgets hanging off tractors.
Nice dream but it'll never happen. Just like we'll never see the diesel powered "1/4 ton" trucks that they have in Europe.
In the US government once something is implemented or an agency is created it will never go away. We’ll be subsidizing ethanol fuel until this country collapses, for example
But big brother is just looking out for us, just ask them, they'll tell you. 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
None of these are laws. Just unelected bureaucrats doing it.
Great review. Agree with a lot of your points. I have had my l2501hst for two years and love the tractor. The l2501 has the same motor as a 3301 and 3901. It's just tuned down to get below the 26hp requirements. Live PTO and need for the clutch, brake pedals above your treadle pedal is in my opinion a downside. But overall not a huge deal. I would not downplay the capabilities to mow. I use a 5-ft mower and manage a Thousand Acre hunting lease as well as my 12 acre property and it mows as good as my 42 horsepower tractor used to. You just need to match the bush hog to the size of your tractor.. Now I am in Florida and it's flat ground so if you live in a hilly part of the country you may need a little bit more power. I do regret not getting the rear remotes I wish out of done that when I purchased it I would definitely get a third function to add a grapple. The grapple has been a life-changer. Would buy the tractor again in a heartbeat
2501 runs a 100 cubic inch engine, 33 and 39 horse run 111 cubic inches. NOT the same engine throughout
You are partially correct, that block was also designed in an industrial application to be about 33hp. There are many good videos showing how to do this modification putting the correct shims or lack there of on the fuel pump affecting the injection timing . Kubota retarded the injection timing to be able to get under the 26hp requirement. People seem really happy with it afterwards and say its a lot less sooty.
I run a stock l2501 HST 2021 model, with a 5 foot box blade on the mountain inclines of Western North Carolina with little issues.. She's a beast if you treat her right, and learn how to properly operate it.
A couple of the inclined roads are so steep, I can only blade down, however I have seen ALL WHEEL DRIVE vehicles fail to scale it. So that said she is a workhorse. And yes Grapple is a must!

What’s the hp/torque comparison to the LX 2610?
Make a video like this with m5-111 tractor please
It's a nice tractor but the ck 2620 has a bigger lift. Capacity, and it's easier on the wallet.
What is the rear PTO setup called for a blade that can also tilt up and down on each side? I really don't know a lot about tractors but I would like to be able to tilt a blade to clean out the ditches on the sides of my gravel driveway.
Top and tilt
One thing I am not clear on , you said that the clutch disengages the pto , is that the drive clutch ? Doesn't it have a live pto ?
It is the clutch for the PTO!
Would this be a good choice to bush-hog with?
Why is the bucket on a set of pallet forks?
Easier to move around! Can't really put the forks in the bucket very easily.
I have a question with this tractor can I pick up a round ball hay ?
Kubota says it will lift about 850 a foot forward of the pins. That being said, I have seen an L2501 lift a pallet with 1675 pounds on it. If you move the occasional bale, it should be fine. If you want to make and sell hay for a living, this is not the tractor for you.
I wouldn't. Several attempts on some of the big round bales, and depending on the moisture content, density etc. L2501 struggles it's ass off trying to lift them. However those who jailbreak their l2501 say it will lift them.

Dealer here now wants 22k for just tractor and front loader..says it went up 10 percent...HST is 24k
That's so sad. I paid 22.5k after tax with load rear tires, 60 inch brush cutter and ktac insurance in 2019. Makes it real hard to afford these tractors now a days.
That’s about what I paid in March I figure it’s now or never by the time I added insurance box blade wheel weights financing it was and taxes it was closer to 28k called several other dealers in utah and they were similar
@@jakesvideos8204 yea I didn't go with Kubota beacuse the OTD Price was 27,200...I talked to a Kioti dealer who is 20 mins from my home and he said OTD price for a 2610 Kioti with loader and R14 Tires filled was 22,500$ I can't see paying 5k more for the Kabota to play around with on weekends at my house LOL..For some yea it would be worth it the Motor seems smoother and quieter on the Kabota and the loader is probably smoother but the capacity is way higher on the Kioti.
Where is that at that they wanted 22k? MSRP on it is about 15K, do dealers not honor the MSRP and just give whatever price they want?
@@DeeGeeTN lol no
Do the tractor come in gear
It is offered with a DT or HST.
💞💞💞💞👍👍👍👍👍
Thise tires look way beefier than my R1 tires.
The Eddy family doesn't know that i asked for thso.
What's the average price on this machine?
I gave $18,700 out the door for one in Nov 2021, L2501 DT w/quick attach Loader, filled R4 tires.
@@SCDeerAddict I paid about $10K more for an HST with the QA loader, Ag tires, and a QA bale spear.
That's a nice tractor but the kioti ck2620 Has a bigger lift capacity and it's easier on the wallet
