    Z251KH-54, Z422KW-54 Both 54 inch first Residential. Second commercial. Is the $2600.00 difference necessary in my application?

    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.

    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...

    The same reason I don’t yet own a Shark or Tesla. They’re not as close as they need to be 100% useful, yet.

    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

    What can anyone offer in experience with the T and GR line of lawn Tractors? Have owned larger Kubota diesels since early 80s but have moved down from16 acres to 1 and need a unit that fits the task now.

    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.

    The Deeres available are a 42” x350 and a X380 48“. Sales says corporate is not guaranteeing quantity or delivery time now on any new equipment.

    Your point being that anything one buys now for under X$$ is crap compared to several decades ago?

    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...

    Getting small, best lawn tractor.

    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...
