Re: HST reliability...
ZackaryMac,
Looks like there was a B1600. It is listed as a Gray Market tractor. There was also a T1600 which was a lawn tractor. Don't know if either were HST. Not that it really matters.....

Re: HST reliability...
That being said, does this mean that the HST system in my tractor IS reliable? A quick search leads me to think so.
Either way, I'm really happy with my little 'Bota. When I win the lottery, there will be a new 4wd model added to the fleet (with all the goodies, of course!). [img]/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Re: HST reliability...
My Cub 7275 has over 2400 hours on it. As far as I know it has never been apart.

Or have a club.
A special heading on the board for BX23 owners would be nice also.

Re: HST reliability...
I am an owner of a Kubota T1600-HST lawn tractor, bought back in 1989 and I must say, I've only had ONE problem with it... Rusted out mowing decks. (However, 3 decks since 1989 is prolly not THAT bad) but it gets expensive. As far as the HydroStatic Transmission goes, not a moments trouble (yet). [img]/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
For the price of a new mow deck, I was able to buy a Sears HST gasoline lawn tractor. Now the Kubota diesel (minus a belly mower) is used to pull a lawn sweeper.
I dare not get rid of it because I can go 4 times as far on a tank of diesel as opposed to my gas tractor.
However, I've just experienced a new problem with the Kubota, but I'll post that as a new thread in a minute.
