I'm ready to pull the trigger on a BX260. Went to 2 Kubota dealers in NH. When I mentioned the fine cut deck both said they don't recommend them. Asked why, the reply was "the terrain in New England is too rocky for that type of deck". I mulch cut and it seems that the fine cut deck is better suited for that. I realize that you can add the mulch kit to the standard deck as well. Can anyone fill me in on why the two decks are different?
Fine Cut or Standard deck?

The fine cut is a deeper deck And that is suppose to hold and re cut every bit of grass and make less clippings. I originally ordered one but didn't get one. After I inquired about it I found that the people notice little to no difference in the cut.

I too wanted the fine cut, but the regular deck worked just fine for me. Regular deck is deeper then fine cut.
you the search here but here is one.

Seems like this and using fuel adds is the hot issue of the month.

I have the standard deck and it does an excellent job. It is so quite and smooth that some times I have double check to see if I engaged it.

I have the 60" standard deck and added the mulching kit to it. I'm pretty happy with the cut. It seemed like the mulching kit was pretty expensive, maybe $200?, but it came with quit a bit of baffles so was a pretty extensive kit. I really like the fact that the mulcher doesn't windrow the grass and that you can get rid of the chute deflector. Kubota says to leave the deflector on but I don't know why, no grass comes out of it.
Hmmmm. Any part numbers for the 60"??? I did not know they make one and I would love to remove the deflector and get the 10"+ inches in the garage.

I live in the country and while I didn't remove my deflector, I have it held up 90% of the time which eliminate most of the windrowing when mowing damp grass. I have a mulching deck on one of my John Deeres and get too much clogging, so don't use it much.
