Thoughts on Kubota f-series mowers

[Brown Dog]

What do you guys recommend for blades? High lift, gator blades?

SD or RD ?

SD or RD ?

60" rear. Has wavy, what looks to be mulching blades. Figuring I was going to be replacing them soon, I was going around my framed up pole barn. It turned a 18" 2x4 into splinters. Pretty impressive.

I buy the plain across the counter blades for a 72" RD at Barlows Kubota dealer with no questions from Gary, he just goes and gets them, charges me around $75 for the three and they work great.

Set of three Kubota brand blades from Messick's is $50. Just an FYI.

I’ve bought non Kubota blades that fit perfect and heavy duty like 3/8 thick for $10 a blade.

I'll be in Crossville in a bit over a week so where do you buy these $10 blades and part number or what do you ask for? I'll bring one of my old blades to compare.

Is there a fix for the front PTO shaft? Mine has a lot of play in it.

If you get me the length and hole diameter I can check it out for you. Mine were 20.5” long and I don’t remember the hole diameter, but it’s big. Bigger than any non Kubota mowers that they stocked. My blades have been in service for a year or more so the part number is long gone.

3/8" Thick ?

My OEM blades are 1/4 thick
