RCK48 deck on BX1850

[DBT]

Is anyone out there with the RCK48 deck on their 1850?

I am looking for gator, or anything better than OEM, blades for this and have not had too much success. Any feedback (or part numbers) from those who have been down this road would be most appreciated. Thanks!

Most Kubota decks do a great job compared to many that are offered. The demand for something better is small as they do mow well. You might check on alternative lifts on blades from Kubota.

Thanks for the suggestion, but unfortunately this particular deck's performance is fair at best on my northeast Ohio bluegrass/rye/fescue blend lawn. According to my local dealer, the higher lift blades are already installed as original equipment on the deck. So, I still look for a solution.

I bought a bx1850 with a 48" deck in may. The the deck does not work, lawn looks like you mowed it with a weed eater when finished. Dealer tried to fix it twice nothing worked. They decided i need a 54" deck not real happy about that but if it works I guess I will live with it. I love the tractor perfect size for me not much land. Good luck with yours please keep me updated still waiting for my 54" deck

Don't give up on that deck yet! I just took delivery of a RCK48GR, S/N 2237-13719 to replace the 54 inch model shipped with this tractor. The center ID is the same as the K 337 LRZ3322 but use this blade part number K5182-97520 on that thick Ohio Bluegrass ( I grew up in Southeastern Ohio near the Bob Evans Farms ) The new high lift blade won't pull it up any better guy and this old blade used standard on the old TG1860s will get it done. Keep the right front tire outside the grass line. These blades are really cheap now ( I buy mine from Blount wholesale because I'm a Gardner Dealer). It's like Art says Kubota does engineer good decks ( I have thousands of hours on mine ). The secret is the blade speed and the shape and sharpness of the blade that makes the difference. Decks just sort of faciliate the dispersment of the grass. Free refunds on disagreements... By the way the 1850 is a really nice tractor compared to the 2110GR for the money and I think these blades will fit your BX deck if not it will be the ID of the blade. Both should be about 16.5 inches long. Let us know how it works out.

Greg here's a suggestion, check the side to side height for level. When you say weedeater I think of a deck that's out of level with the plane of cut. Ob1....

Hi thanks for the suggestion. Deck has been leveled side to side and back to front. they just said it doesn't cut write and ordered a different one.As far as buying new blades it's brand new and I spent over $14000 on this set up it should work or kubota should pay to fix it not me!! It cuts so bad I don't think any type of blade would help that much. I would like to know what they told the guy who started this thread if he has time to repley thanks

3*I love the tractor perfect size for me not much land.

1*That's odd the 48 '' deck works fine on my BX1500.
2*Why wouldn't U B happy with a 54'' mower?
I would rather have the 54'' MMM over the 48''MMM.
Guess the 54'' deck on my CC GT2554 spoiled me on that.
3*I love my BX1500 too.

1*Why did you trade the 54''for a 48'' mower?
I have a 48'' mower on my BX1500 and a 54'' mower on my CC GT2554.
I like the 54'' mower much better.
