Got a chance to run both of these units over the weekend. Long and short of it is that both are nice machines with pros and cons specific to the machine and end-user situation.
BX2360:
Pros: Forward pedal in front, reverse pedal in rear (I mixed this up three times on the Kioti, I don't want my boys mixing it up when they're 3 feet from the creek bank
)
Better seat, mower height is set by a knob which I can set and forget, overall seemed more sturdy construction. Turning radius about 10-20% tighter than the Kioti.
Cons: Mower PTO made more noise kicking on and off. Hydraulics seemed to hesitate when lifting mower deck, had to raise RPMs.
CS2410:
Pros: Smooth mower engage and disengage, better lift on mower deck. Foldable ROPS. Some may prefer the drive pedals side by side once they get used to the position. If changing the mower height constantly the Kioti has a better setup.
Cons: Seemed overall to be a bit more shake, rattle, and roll. Plastic hood (though I can't remember if the Kubota was plastic as well or not). Turning radius - not as tight as the 'Bota and the tires left black streaks on concrete - tried the same thing with the 'Bota and it did not leave streaks. Loader stand a bit more primitive.
I probably would have been happy owning either machine. But in the end the features listed above and the bulletproof reputation of the Kubota machine and engine directed me to go with the Kubota. Dealer threw in a brush guard and we placed the order
Now to wait until July when I can start using it
Thanks everyone!
