Es 25

I recently bought a used 2008 ES 25 with 17 hours on the meter from an individual. I was told it has been setting for 2 years. I have 33 acres in East Texas (mostly wooded), I plan to use the ES25 for basic chores. I am impressed with the room on the platform and how the controls are positioned. I do have a few concerns:
1. The tractor is made in China. I had heard Mahindra makes a good tractor, not sure there is difference in the tractor based on which plant makes the tractor.
2. I dont have a manual for the ES 25. Is the ES 25 the same as the 2525? What is the difference?
3. The tractor had been setting. I drained the fuel and refilled with fresh diesel but there is ALOT of hesitation getting the RPM's up to 2500, very slow to react to the hand throttle or foot throttle. Any ideas??

This is the first tractor I have purchased. Hoping it will fit my needs.
Anyone have suggestions/comments on the above 1-3, please let me know.
