    Zero turn

    It’s not the cost, just don’t know much about ZTs. No Kubota dealer near me sells the small tractors, Would get one but no one to handle warranty if a problem arises on an out of state purchase. My dealer for the last 25 years closed and no others carry small lawn tractors. Have a Deere dealer...

    Zero turn recommendations

    I agree on Kubota diesel longevity. but its to much machine/money for 2/3 acre. Which Gas Kubota would be a second choice? What other Zs are best. Have a landscaper using a BobCat now. Looked at SCAG also. Not alot of inventory with some lines. Local Deere dealer has a good number.

    Kubota Lawn Tractors

    The one I test beat was a returned gasser with 9 hours on it. Returned for diesel last year. Not buying a reject, bad JuJu but it seemed a solid unit.

    Getting small, best lawn tractor.

    What can anyone offer up on these Kubota GR 20 series lawn Tractors. Early models had major mechanical issues but it seems that’s been engineered out of the line now. Going to look a one hours away, gas engine. Appreciate any and all input. Comparing it to a JD X380 for relatively flat yard with...

    Kubota Lawn Tractors

    Found a GR with gas engine a bit of a drive but its assemble and i can test run it. I have a B2601 TLBMMM that is to big for my new place, 1 acre. Had 16 acres at old home, 3 KUBOTA’s in 40 years. How are the Koehler engines used in the Kubota?

    Kubota Lawn Tractors

    Getting small, best lawn tractor.

    Broughy my Kubota 2601 from our 16 acres. Moves snow quickly but to much for mowing. Put in small Koi pond and move material with it. That Z turns are replacing lawn tractors is the truth. Picking a Z turn is an even more involved decision.

    I concur on the local dealer purchase, I have a JD dealer close, anything I need to know about them that sales wont tell me about? They say 100 or 200 series would work well but they are not expecting any until late July.

    2021 John Deere X380 First Impressions and Review

    Your reports are very informative. I’m moving down from Kubota diesels and 16 acres to a JD on 1 acre I think. No lawn tractors available locally except for JD 3 series and up. Thanks

    Getting small, best lawn tractor.

    I have a Kubota B2601 TLBMMM that is to big for my one acre. Only units I can find locally are JD 300 series and up, I can get a 300 with a 42 in deck for a reasonable price. Dealer says 500 series is to much tractor for my one acre. Ive had KUBOTA diesels for 40 years but small ones are non...

    Had serious acreage for 45 years. Mowed with Kubota diesels for most of that time. Now have one acre with home on it and I’m looking at a lawn tractor to do the job. Have no experience with small gas units since the early 1980s. Inventory is short at most dealers. Two neighbors have JD units, a...

    What's your experience with Kubota?

    I bought a B8200hst and a L2250 In 1983. Replaced frt axle seals and hydraulic pump at 22 years on the L2250. Nothing on the B8200. Sold them in 2017 and bought a B2601 with FL/BH/MMM. Would own nothing else.

    Leaking Gas At Shutdown -- ZG222

    You can get kits to overhaul carbs or a new carb. I’d replace the carb. Also any rubber lines going to it. E10 gas can be hell on rubber lines over the years. I use 100% gas in all my powered tools, have to buy 100 octane racing fuel locally to get it but its reduced problems 90%. In weed...

    Deck ride designs. Ground contact or suspended.

    What is the general consensus on the preferd mower deck design. There are decks that roll on the ground being pulled, following the contour of the turf closely. There is also the suspended decks that hang just above the surface you are cutting. Using the foot print of the tires as its guide...

    B2601

    Ive settled on a B2601 to replace my 1985 L2250 which I've had since new. 60 in mmm, 60 in QT front loader and 70 series BH. Several questions to start. No experience with suspended deck, been using contact decks for 42 years. Any issues on rugged terrain. My place is not a smooth football...

    60" deck differences

    Ride quality of Z drives

    I've had mid sized Kubota tractors to mow my 5+ acres for over 30 years. Thought I'd look at a 60 in Zdrive as an addition to mow around all the trees that we've grown over the years. I rented a Kubota Z323 and was very disappointed in the ride quality. Took it back after 2 hours in a four hour...

    Z turn Recommendations appreciated

    Have 2 25+ year old Kubota tractors that have given good service. Looking to get a zero turn to help cut around many trees put in over the years. I don't believe I need a diesel unit to mow the areas contemplated and I'm not retiring the kubota 8200HST, for a number of reasons. Which unit...

    Gas problems solved.

    For years I have been dealing with the issues that plague some of us in reference to alcohol blended fuels. Last year a new Mobil gas station opened in my area and offered one pump with 105 octane pure racing gas, $7.99 a gallon. Bought a can of it to see if any difference in my small equipment...

    300 series Z turns

    I have 2 30+years old Kubota utility tractors. Trouble free except for a hydraulic pump some years ago. I'm sold on the company and I'm looking at a Z turn mower now. I have 6 acres, with some steep hills so the 4X will still be used. My question pertains to the engines available. There is a 27...
