I just had my new L2501 delivered a few days ago and I specifically told the salesman I wanted it painted (Barney & Friends) purple and well the dog-gone shows up orange. Yes Im just kidding, I love my new L2501 so far.
I hope that I dont jinks my new tractor by bragging on it but I really like it. I have 10 hours on it now and the more I operate it, the more I like it. In the past years Ive only owned older used tractors and most have served my purpose just fine, so Ive never had a new tractor in my life until now and this is a jewel.
Im amazed at the power, and efficiency of the 4wd. They have come so far with the design of tractors these days. I use to have a L245 2wd and the difference is night and day, and not just between the 2 and 4wd drive but they are so much better in design, weight distribution, power, etc...
I cant believe the amount of control I have with this hydro trans, and Im very glad I got it rather than gear driven. I dont care for the noise of the trans when under a load but if thats the worse thing that I have to complain about, then I can live with that.
Thanks for all the help and advice that I was given before purchasing this tractor.
Im very excited and satisfied thus far.

Mudball - that is awesome, I STILL feel the same way EVERY time I get on my 5 year old BX.....

it is a good feeling to know that you own something that is "fun" to use, yet gets a lot of work accomplished.......... 'specially when we get older!

Mudball, you made me feel so much better! I thought I was the only one that wanted a different color! After I had agreed to buy the 3560, I said as straight faced as I could manage, that I wanted mine in lavender, and he said equally straight faced, that if I went and got the rattle cans he would get it done :D

I just did the 50hr. service on my 2501, and the hydro whine is not near as loud as it was...so Your complaint will be less when you get to that point!
