Specifications
Features
Pros
- ✓The strong 1,808 lb loader lift is a standout - it out-lifts the L2501 and most compacts in its size class dramatically
- ✓It's one of the few compacts with a mid-PTO option, so it can run a belly mower deck for real finish mowing plus heavy loader work
- ✓The operator station is more refined and comfortable than the Standard L, with a better seat and layout
- ✓8.7 GPM hydraulics make loader and implement action noticeably quicker than the L2501's system
- ✓Kubota's in-house diesel, huge dealer network, and strong resale value all apply
- ✓Cast front axle and stout build give it a solid, capable feel despite the compact footprint
- ✓It stays under 25 HP so it avoids the DPF regen hassle while still delivering strong hydraulic performance
- ✓It hits a sweet spot of comfort, loader capacity, and mowing capability that the L2501 can't match
Cons
- ✗Only 24.8 HP with 19.5 PTO HP, so despite the great loader lift it can feel underpowered on the PTO and in heavy tillage
- ✗It's priced well above the L2501 for the same engine HP - you're paying for lift, comfort, and the mid-PTO
- ✗Some owners note the front end can feel light and the rear needs ballast when lifting heavy loads with that big loader
- ✗The 3-point lift, while decent, is lower than the loader capacity, creating a mismatch for heavy rear implements
- ✗No cruise control standard, which owners doing lots of mowing miss
- ✗At this price it competes with 30+ HP compacts that offer more engine power for similar money
- ✗The premium positioning means a Kioti CK or LS MT of similar capability often costs less
- ✗It's lighter than the Standard L, so it doesn't pull or plant itself quite as well in the dirt
