L vs LX

[JeremyBX2200]

So after my last project with my BX2200 I decided I need a bigger machine. Mostly just because when I am working against a clock I know the BX won’t cut it. I have narrowed it down to an L or an LX. Biggest positive for an LX is that it is smaller and would be better on my soft ground in the spring. Past that no positive. I already mow with a 60” 3pt and do a lot of box scraper work. An L without the mid PTO would be the same price. I am almost thinking a use l2501 with either a turbo kit or the IP turned up to facilitate the use of a bigger 3pt mower, tiller etc. So what are ya’ll thoughts. I am in the “already have a bit saved and saving more to pay cash” mode. I do want the HST in both models

If you don't have a specific reasons to get an LX, then get the L. It's more tractor for your money

However, if you need something only an LX does, then obviously get the LX. Things that might cause that are:

• Weight - if you need a lighter machine for soft ground (which you mention), if you're limited in what you can trailer, or other reason
• Cab - L can't have a cab
• Mid-PTO for a blower or mower
• If you've sat on it, and like the feel. The LX is a more luxurious machine

The L2501 can be a bit underpowered, but the turbo kit is a really good answer to that. There are a lot of L2501s around in the used market, it was a popular model.
