Stutrac, I appreciate your BX1870 recommendation. I thought long and hard about that one. It certainly is more capable in lots of ways. I have used a BX25 rental in my lower yard before. It worked well. The primary difficulty I had was getting it out of there. After a couple of tries, I put a...

A release button on small, light equipment is common and expected. Most buyers are genuinely surprised when they don't find a description of this release button in in the User Manual, at least this is what several dealers have told me. Yes, most equipment manufacturers in this the class provide...

I’ve decided to buy a GR2120, but now have to decide when to buy. The current model (GR2120-2) would likely be fine, but a Kubota sales rep hinted that a replacement model might be announced this October. I’m new to Kubota and not sure how they do things, so I have a few questions: 1. How long...

The regional Kubota folks have found this button, but the dealer is still looking. I plan to ask him to keep looking until he finds it. I may have to ask him to contact the regional Kubota tech. This button doesn’t seem to be very well documented by Kubota. As to its use, I very much...

---------------------- OB, Heard back from the Kubota regional sales manager. He said: "Yes. That will work, if you can push that in and hold it in. But you still have to push or pull very slowly. That is a charge oil / bypass release." Looks like we could simply wedge a stick in there to...

------- Thanks! I'm going to try to sent your pic to this regional sales manager. Seems like this should be added to the User Manual. Thanks again.

Just got off the phone with a regional sales manager for the GR series. He called me back after consulting his tech counterpart. He said the current GR series does not have a way to temporarily disconnect the transmission to load on a trailer if the engine dies or even to simply move it out of...

----- Dealer still has not found the button. I'll send these pictures to him and see if it helps. He did call to say his regional tech rep told him there was no way to temporarily disconnect the drive on a GR2120 and that pushing it or winching it onto a trailer would damage it. Basically, it...

-------------- Yes, I believe my numbers are correct. Some of my "yard" is flat or nearly flat, but some is 15-20 degrees and that last 10' to get back up to the garage is 30 degrees. I used a free iphone app to measure these angles. I compared its results in my shop to known angles using a...

My apologies folks. Unfortunately, my error wasn't simply a typo. I got it wrong. When I asked questions about % percent grade capability of the GR2120, I really was asking about the angle of the slope. Big difference. Yes, I know that now. My 20 and 30 numbers should have been labeled as...

OB, thanks for the input. I'll have the dealer look on the back of the transmission for it. Thanks again!

Okay, I’m new to this, so please bear with me. I need a mower that I don’t have to push up and down these hills. Oh yes, in addition to a lot of 20% grade, the ground is also little rough, but should smooth out under the weight of a lawn tractor over time. There are also lots and lots of...
