Hi i was just wondering what the differences were between these 2 loaders were?... from what i research it doesn't look like much is different...but, imlooking at either a 2016 L2501 and 2013 L3800 .... in my mind the L3800 is stronger....but im wondering, if the loaders are pretty much the same when it comes too max lift capacity, then is the only difference the Horsepower? they both seem too weigh in at approx 2500lbs ... thank you in advance too any anwsers :)

Lots of people have the L2501 and like them. If I had the choice you have I would want the L3800. I have never heard anyone get off the seat and say WOW that thing has too much horsepower. I have a L3700SU and dad has a L3800HST and they are great. I have 0 experience with the LA525. Mine has the LA463, dad's has the LA524 and I can not tell any difference in them both have SSQA so we can share the different buckets and forks. I have increased the hydraulic pressure on both tractors as well as few of my neighbors. There are several post on here about the psi being well below specs from the factory.
