Choose wisely on the MM vs FM. I have the B2620 for 56ac in SW Va. I coulda gone bigger but the B does 96% of everything I ask for. I mow maybe a couple of acres (2hrs seat time each mow) with a FM which does a great job and is infinitely easier to put on/off. I guess it depends on how often you mow versus doing "tractor stuff."
Unless you get a screaming deal on implements at purchase, just be patient and troll CL and FBMP and you'll soon have all the implements you need. My buddy just got a L2501 and it is a nice machine but I dont feel its performance envelope exceeds my B2620 by any meaningful metric. Also be willing to consider used machines. There are lots of low-hour Kubotas out there to be had for the savvy buyer.
There is some seriously good experience to be tapped here at OTT. Dive on in!
I can see that no capability you need is exceeded by the L2501, but those two are quite a lot different in capability unless you need a mid-mount-pto.
