I've had my L 2501 about 2 summers and have had to replace 4 tie rods. Initially, I was bush hogging a rough field for the first 2, but the last 2 have broken while mowing short grass in a 'tame' field.

Any idea what could be causing the tie rods to break?

Maybe be more specific?

I thought a vehicle generally only had one tie rod...are you referring to the ends of the tie rod? Or?

There are both inner and outer tie rods and a center sleeve which has both left and right-hand internal threads that allow for adjustment of the tie rods.
