Confused by the manual of the L2501 HST

[old and tired]

Well, The clutch pedal must be depressed for engine start...

Unless you bypassed the clutch safety switch... .

It's confusing to me because the L2502 doesn't have a clutch but fundamentally it's the same tractor and drivetrain right? I mean the four wheel drive lever is in the same place and works the same way. That doesn't need the clutch.

Obviously not the same drivetrain, 2501 has a clutch, 2502 does not.

Personally I would not go too far down the rabbit hole trying to compare two similar but different Kubota models. Operate your tractor using the guidelines in the L2501 manual and common sense and you will be fine.
