I just received my new 2025 L2502 TLB but I did not receive the 3 point hitch. Is this not included as part of the base loader tractor like John Deere? Dealer says I have to buy separately. I received 5500 off which I believe is great deal but are they keeping thee 3 point hitch to justify the low cost?
3 point hitch included?

It takes a strong character to sell bungy cord by the foot. Stretch out 80 foot to 100, and give the customer a 20% discount on the price of 100 feet.
This looks like a case of feeding the dog with its own tail.

3PH isn't always used, especially on a TLB.
My BX23S has never had the 3PH installed on it,in 8 years. Still in the box though it was part of the deal I made.
Some TLBs never had a place to connect a 3PH,decades ago.

that sucks. I bought a L3301 utility tractor with the optional BH77 BH. (not one of there true TLB HD units)
It came BH sub frame installed, BH mounted and 3 pt arms brand new in box.
A quick google search told me a TLB normally does not include 3 pt arms but sub compact, compact and utility tractors from Kubota normally do.
I would press your dealer (and if no love escalate to your regional rep.) cause if it came from Kubota with arms in box like mine it should be included free unless your contract says no arms to be included. Dealer shouldn't be able keep stuff and re-sell if included from Kubota.
In Canada the arms in the brouchure are not marked as "optional" like cruise control is.

Don't know the answer in your TLB case but do know that dealers are want to not include things removed (or not installed) during PDI if you are not on your toes.
My guess is that your dealer has kept your three point components in order to sell them to someone else.
It is not a TRUE TLB, paid 11k plus the sub frame. the competing dealer had the 3 point on his Kubotas. I am going to the Kubota rep, from what I hear this is worth $1,300 from Kubota
tractor came with the pins , shaft & bracket but no left/right arms or adjusting linkages

This is a good example of changing the Model of your tractor makes a difference.
You DO NOT have a L2502 TLB
You have a L2502 with an optional loader and an optional BH
It's not semantics or verbiage , it a build difference.
The TLB's the three point can be an option
Where the Tractors with the Optional BH the three point is standard equipment!
Your dealer is ripping you off!
Edit your profile to change it to L2502HST ( hydro static drive) or L2502DT (gear drive) or L2502F (2wd)

the L2502 does not show the 3 PTO as an accessory when I built it

Here are optional accessories, you don't see three point hitch in there!
The only three point parts options are the telescopic stabilizers

Good catch. I thought he actually had a TLB ... my mistake. I should have realized the discrepancy between L2502 and B26TLB.
Disregard all of the erroneous stuff that I posted.I deleted my erroneous posts ... no point in cluttering up a thread with it. But on the bright side for my friend in Kettle Falls, his used L47TLB came with the 3-point linkage which I had assumed was included, but I'll have to let him know that it's an accessory and his deal got even sweeter.

Spoke to the Manager and he will deliver to me this afternoon... YAY, now am complete
this is how it sits. As you can see, they had the pins and brackets on so they removed the rest to install the backhoe

Glad it worked out for the OP.
My 2501 was not originally purchased with the BH, but due to circumstances beyond my control (Covid times) the other stuff I purchased was not available; So with no clear window for delivery, I asked about the BH they had in stock, and they put that money towards the BH instead.
I love that BH…Just used it again this week….
I got my arms with the tractor though. (Sometimes, even a blind squirrel finds a nut
)
Heres a “novice tip” for the arms…..I labeled mine “port” and “starboard” with a marker…..
Since they are rarely on, it would take a few minutes to figure out which side is which.

I had a similar occurrence with my grapple. According to the LandPride specs it came with Pioneer and flat face couplers. The dealer put the Pioneer on, since I was using it with an L model. When I picked it up, the flat face couplers weren't with it. I brought it up and after some discussion with the shop, they provided them. I think they put stuff like that in their junk pile, thinking they're more likely to need them than the original customer.
Even though L35's originally included the 3pt arms, it's pretty rare to find one for sale that has them still around. Like mine, many have never had the BH off, and the arms get misplaced.
