Fortunately, my place does not have any steep inclines that I am worried about. Well, anywhere that I plan to use the tractor.

I don't know how well the L2501 will handle slopes. (I'm talking stability) It is a narrow tractor. But, with the loader, backhoe and filled tires, mine is fairly heavy for its size. But, right now, I am very nervous on anything that even resembles an incline.

So, I have been more concerned with tipping. For power, I have not found it lacking once I started to get used to the tractor and making it do more work. It will spin a tire without much effort. Some may say it falls short in PTO power though, but I have tilled with my 5 foot tiller over new ground and it handled it fine. I just had to go slow. I would like to run a rotary cutter on it, but all I have is a 6 ft cutter on my old tractor, and that is gonna be too big.
