I think the L2501/02 are a real sweet spot in the Kubota lineup. Big enough to do some serious work and priced competitively to smaller compacts/subcompacts. Unless you need extra HP for PTO driven implements not much reason to go with the 33/39 versions. I have a hard time understanding why the HST take rate isn't 100% on these smaller tractors. So nice for loader work and I haven't anything I can't pull in low range that I could with a gear drive tractor.
I was shopping for a 2501 when I got lucky on my Used L4701, and I manage to find myself on the upper edge of its capabilities sometimes..
To the OP I've been trying to get my Dad to get something similar to your TYM for his large yard. They are handy little machines and I'm sure you'll have good service from yours.
