I love Kubota lawn tractors / Compact tractors. Super quality cut, best bagging and diesel engine so very fuel effecient.

[@MachineryNation]

Thanks Derra, that’s great feedback 👍🏼

[@LewisgardenservicesLtd]

Great mowers 👌 brilliant review, very top gear 👍

[@shaun30-3-mg9zs]

Hi James, Great review now you won't be late for your tea, that all I need to know👍

[@MachineryNation]

Hopefully not, although I have just got home and it’s not ready and waiting for me 😉😂

[@northeasterndirtandpropert7974]

Kubota makes great equipment.They pay my bills.

[@Cklandscapes]

Great review Had a Kubota g21 HD for 10 years it could cut anything never give any major issues just wear and tear changed to a g21e HD there 2 years ago same thing also very comfortable and the high dump is very useful for tipping over fences and high sided trailer

[@ianphilips2291]

They are great mowers I had two g23 low dump ones when I ran my garden maintenance business

[@MachineryNation]

Nice Ian 👍🏼 cracking machines 👍🏼

[@Big_Johns]

Now that's a nice mower. 👍 My late step-dad had a Kubota tractor like used on a golf course and loved it.

[@MachineryNation]

Awe nice John! Hope you’re well sir 👍🏼

[@Big_Johns]

Yes sir, doing good, hope everyone your way is too.

[@jameswilkins7757]

Always used kubota ride ons and diggers also just purchased a 90hp tractor as well because they are reliable and strong and do the job. Highly recommended

[@anthonykeane154]

I use a Kubota svt 35 it's 20 years old compact tractor with a major swift finish mower on the back it is still going strong good machine 😀

[@MachineryNation]

Awesome Anthony, thank you for sharing 👍🏼

[@MrEggyman99]

My work currently have a G231-HD on order arriving soon to replace our 6 year old JD X950R, which is starting to fall apart and a nightmare to get the deck off. We used to use an Iseki SXG323 and SXG19 before trialling a Kubota G23 and JD X950R, and chose the JD originally, but since realised it was the wrong choice over the past 5 years and we should have went with Kubota all along, you really can't beat them for mid mount deck FWD machines.

[@MachineryNation]

Great feedback, thank you. Keep us informed on how you get on 👍🏼

[@AJPsWorkshop]

Great review, James. That's a nice bit of kit

[@MachineryNation]

Thanks Ash, certainly enjoyed this one 👍🏼

[@CT-oe1ug]

Nice bit of kit that, but I’m an out front guy - finish mulch deck for the summer and flail deck for the autumn/spring/rough.

[@CALOCALKY]

In the order of the way I got my colector mowers .Kubota g 1900 came with the busnis . Purched new g1900 .

[@minkavleren]

a little tip for you guys, you don't have to mention the power in kilowatts when you already mentioned them in break horsepower, while the measurements are different it is the same thing, otherwise nice video 👌🏻👍🏻

[@Musicandguitars2745]

It would be brilliant to get some ransomes machines on the Chanel, it may just be my area but the vast majority of commercial machines are cylinder triples.

[@DAVIDWARBURTON-mu9ok]

Nearly bought a kubota F3890 out front mower, but came across a ransome HR 300 with less hours and in better condition. Kubota make good machines and my ransome has a 33 hp kubota engine which seams strong and reliable

[@DJC995]

Nice One James have used a few kubota's Like them Thanks again

[@MachineryNation]

Thanks Darran 👍🏼

[@ollieisaninja]

Compared to the Countax I use, that looks like a dream

[@jimwadland7728]

We had a gr 1600 for 8 years it was a wreck when we chopped it in for an iseki 216 which is now 8 years old and apart from a few dents is as good as new, no comparison

[@tgsgardenmaintenance4627]

Always found Kubota's to be excellent machines!

[@tinkeringtaylor3053]

Kubota does some nice machines now, that looks really good and comfy to operate, what hight of grass would it cut though🤔, but there is one fault i never seen a cup holder 😂

[@MachineryNation]

Hey Nev, thanks mate. You could quite comfortably cut 6” of think grass with this mower without putting undue stress on it.

[@almclean4835]

11k, that surprised me. I thought it would be much more

[@MachineryNation]

Lot of mower for the money hey Al 👍🏼

[@timbert4672]

I’m not really a fan of tractor type ride on mowers, probably because of that place I worked with that 605R which was completely the wrong machine for the site it was on, those aren’t meant for constantly going up and down tall kerbs on industrial sites full of rocks, potholes, raised manhole covers, bits of strewn concrete and rebar, really thick grass and domestic waste. There were constant problems with it as a result until it finally fell to pieces. At least this one can go up and down kerbs though.

[@MachineryNation]

Yeah, we see it so often where the wrong machine is being used for the job. Or where people buy a cheaper machine thinking it will do the same job as a dearer one. So frustrating as a machine can get a bad rep for no reason.

[@timbert4672]

@@MachineryNation Indeed! Commercial sites require commercial products, no matter how many times you tell people that you’ll still find them looking through domestic product catalogues again when something breaks. That’s just site managers for you though, stupid. That’s why I won’t work for these people any more.

[@AbbasReef]

mulching is even better than discharge

[@MachineryNation]

Trouble with Mulching it needs to be done much more regularly, other wise the decks can’t deal with the grass and you end up put more strain on the machines. Take councils for instance, some areas you’re lucky if they cut the grass once a month, a mulcher would not cope.

[@noelcahill6707]

This is really just council machine for a landscaper ud really want this deck and rear linkage over here in ireland with the rear collection machine damp clover can be a problem

[@MachineryNation]

Yeah for sure. Anyone who just wants to cut and drop to be fair 👍🏼

[@dazza14778]

Hi bud looks like a great machine, currently im using stihl and honda hrd walk behind mower But jobs are getting bigger, im unsure on what is the best ride on, currently looking at the diesel iseki, but is kubota better in your opinion

[@CT-oe1ug]

I bought a mid mount Iseki, Toro Zero turn and a Husqvarna out front. The Husky out front is by far my favourite. Will go for a Kubota out front next 👍

[@MachineryNation]

The most important parts of the buying process I would say is how good is your relationship with your dealer and how supportive are they? What are the spare parts availability like. Otherwise, choose the right machine for you.

[@tylermacconnell217]

The headlights look really old fashioned. Why not put the modern L series tractor LED lights on it?

[@de6584]

12 miles a hour! It could replace my van.

[@sebastianbauer4768]

How is this different from a normal compact tractor with a mid mower attachment?

[@MachineryNation]

This does not have linkage on the rear. So if you only need it for mowing, it makes it a lot more affordable 👍🏼

[@michaeltobin2014]

Yes you. Said it, if you don’t like a zero turn or a robotic then this is for you ie third in line. No point really!

[@patrickbonner4841]

Can ya tow with it ?

[@Cklandscapes]

Ye you can if you put on a tow ball and depends what your towing

[@MachineryNation]

Yes, I believe you can get a bracket and tow hitch for it.

[@Monkey_Snot]

Nice tractor, but the ROPs need to go, i don't know what they were thinking putting ROPs that big and ugly on such a small mower. It looks like you're towing around a section of scaffolding lol.

[@MachineryNation]

It’s legislation on mowers over a certain weight. 500kg I think. Anything over and it has to have rops.

[@Monkey_Snot]

@@MachineryNation oh I realize that, it's the size they went with kind of looks, well, definitely looks out of place. I think their engineers moved the decimal point over a few too many places lol.

[@timfagan816]

​@Monkey_Snot you wouldn't care how ugly it is, if you got into a situation where it let you go back to your computer to make dumb comments after a rollover 😂

[@scrambler69-xk3kv]

Nope has that stupid famous Kubota treadle pedal. Worst device ever placed on any machine. I will take a John Deere side by side two pedal any day. So comfortable to use. Heal of your foot stays in one place and you simply pivot your toes left or right to change direction. Ran one for many tears as well as a treadle pedal on a BX Kubota working for a local school district. Would love a chat with Kubota top management.

[@wardraven8755]

Calls zero turns and regular riding mowers robotic then starts talking about all the advanced features of the kabota which are things you would find on a robot

[@MachineryNation]

@@wardraven8755 you got the wrong end of the stick. Watch it again, hopefully it makes sense 👍🏼

[@jaredbickmore2474]

Look like a oversized Husqvarna
