Kubota · COMPACT TRACTOR ATTACHMENTS
The L2501's transmission changes its PTO budget: 19 hp for HST and 20.5 hp for gear. That small gap crosses the minimum for some chippers, even though the engine rating is the same.

FROM YOUR TRACTOR TO THE JOB
Start with the transmission. The documented HST has 19 PTO hp; gear has 20.5. The WC68 starts at 20 PTO hp, so two tractors wearing the same L2501 badge get different initial results. A four-inch hydraulic-feed chipper and a six-inch model also put different loads on the hitch.
Read the guide →FIELD GUIDEThe L2501 has 24.8 gross engine hp and either 19 or 20.5 PTO hp. In this catalog, all three Farmry LFS widths need the maker to clarify its horsepower basis; the TMG-TFM60’s 30 hp minimum is above both L2501 power ratings. Start with that elimination before comparing width.
