    Price check for L2501HST

    @WDF You're not kidding - I was surprised by how smelly the exhaust was once I had the tractor delivered. I think test driving it on the lot happened on a windy day. Not sure of why the exhaust pipe was not routed to the back or at least pointing down and away. Instead, it points forward, so all...

    Price check for L2501HST

    Yeah, originally, we were considering L3902. I liked the small upgrades, such as no clutch pedal, rubber mats, electronic PTO engagement. We drive 3 German diesels in the household, so I am used to DPF regens, AdBlue, and EGR. But always felt them to be the weakest links. Once I started...

However, when I read pricing questions, it pains me to find out how much more the tractor prices rose over last 2 to 3 years. Looking at MSRP, bare L2501 HST...
