Overview
An owner's one-year field report after 84 hours on a manual-transmission L2501 across 50 acres. He explains why he skipped the HST and DPF, then covers the backhoe (~$8K add-on), a grapple with dual hydraulic cylinders, a Piranha tooth bar, third-function hydraulics, and a handy tip for depressurizing lines before swapping attachments. Best for buyers comparing configurations or wanting real-use perspective rather than a dealer pitch.
