Had a bad experence with a Kubota F2560 Front Mower, then again it was a Municipality unit and was beat up pretty bad as well, so I can't fault the machine buts its previous owner. Had to put $4K into the engine with a new cylinder head, pistions and a bunch of other things. It had a rear discharge deck and quite frankly was not impressed with the rear discharge deck..., to many customers were complaining about the rear discharge deck so I sold it off... Could not find a used side discharge deck for it and a new one was over $3K.
Kubota has a good product and Engine, but I really dislike their Hydro petal on all there mowers and compact tractors... I have driven a few BX2200's, BX2350's, F25-3060's etc and really did not care for the Hydro petal.... If they had 2 petals (Forward & Reverse) side by side then it would be a whole different story, just my preference from running a Deere 2305 & MF G2300.
Also a Tilt steering wheel on their BX Sub-Compacts would be nice, like the New JD coming out as well a tilt steering wheel on the GR2100's would be ideal. I have driven a few Kubotas and these are some changes I would like to see done on future Kubotas.
