    How difficult is it to remove / reattach the mower deck on GR2020?

    I'm trying to decide on whether or not to buy one of these - I liked the tractor when I test drove it and so it sort of comes down to a few details...one of which is the deck and whatever subframe assy is necessary to attach a plow. I saw a youtube video where removing the deck looked a bit...

    How good is the GR 2848 blade?

    Hi, I'm considering buying a GR 2020 tractor, for which I'm told that the snow plow which goes with that is the 2848. I saw one briefly at the local dealer and quite honestly - while I didn't look at it real close - it just didn't impress me. I expected a bit heavier gauge material. I plow my...

    Advice on buying Kubota to replace old Cub Cadet?

    I test-drove another tractor today (not Kubota) that has a reverse safety switch - have to press a button in every time the mower is engaged and you want to go in reverse, otherwise the mower disengages. Do the Kubota tractors also have this feature? Quite honestly, seems like a bit of a pain.

    Advice on buying Kubota to replace old Cub Cadet?

    How easy/difficult is it to remove the deck on the 2020? Same question for the subframe assy that is needed to attach a plow? With the Cub, I've always taken the deck off every fall - then remove the blades for sharpening, etc. I usually have just left the deck off during the winter.

    GR connect hitch, subframe and plow..how easy to use

    How easy is this stuff to attach / detach? I'm considering buying a GR 2020 not only to mow but also to plow snow, and the dealer doesn't have any of this other equipment there for me to see. The quote he gave me includes the "quick attach hitch and subframe" (GR2700B) and the 48" sure connect...

    Advice on buying Kubota to replace old Cub Cadet?

    Tried out the GR2021 (identical to 2020 except that the 21 has the diesel engine). The dealer only had one 2020 but it was still crated. Rides nice...love the wide rear tires, turning radius, and the deck attachment is somewhat similar to what I'm used to on the Cub. Now...the only thing is...

    Advice on buying Kubota to replace old Cub Cadet?

    85...interesting that you mention this, being that the Kubota rep I had some correspondence with initially suggested the BX1880V. Just thought that tractor might be a bit of 'overkill' for my purposes. Were I 20-30 years younger and were looking at mowing another 40-50 years - different story. I...

    Advice on buying Kubota to replace old Cub Cadet?

    Hi, Long story that I'll condense as best I can. My tractor, a 129 CC hydro, is a 1972 model, built by IH. Engine is a Kohler K-301. These old engines, from what everyone tells me, were virtually bullet proof. I've used it now for 47 years. Over that time, various things have gone wrong (though...
