Brought new GR2020 home today

[PHILIP8N]

I don't have the Diesel sticker on the front end and don't have the 4WD at the back. Must be a USA edition....

No, my additions. Should be there though, right? Philip.

Nice new orange machine. Congrat's. So the GR does offer 4WD. I was looking over the spec's last week on the GRs and while I could swear there was an option for 4WD (or do both models have it?), I couldn't find it mentioned in the features overview or in the detail spec's. Maybe I missed it but I didn't think so. Assuming I didn't miss it, how could Kubota leave that off of their web site? Anyway, hope it gives you good service.

Thanks. There are only two GR models, gas and diesel, and both come with 4WD standard. It is very clear in their brochure, not sure about website. Marketing should spend the $2 and put the 4WD decals on the mower, then people would know for sure. Philip.

Re: Brought new GR2120 home today

Picked up the new GR2120 at 8:00am this morning. Traded in the old Deere LX188 + snowblower. Got snowblower for GR2120 too, but it is still in crate, that is my Thanksgiving project. Put 2 hours on it today, I am impressed. Power steering! This thing is easy to drive and rides so nice. Turning radius, unbelievable. Very nice quality, looking forward to many years and hours with it. Modifications to date:
1) Removed all those safety decals, nice orange paint underneath.
2) Added my own decals.
3) Disabled seat switch.
4) Disabled reverse mowing switch.
5) Idle speed was too low, resonating vibrations from factory setting of 1300 rpm. Set low idle speed at 1800 rpm, no vibration at low throttle now.
6) Added 6 ounces SUDT2 to front axle, low from factory.
Mowed grass, but was not high enough, can't wait for it to grow now!

Might check that front axle fluid around 50hrs.On my GR2000 the fluid was light gray and silvery looking.I changed it out and it's been clear ever since.

Gents.....

Point of order here.....the GR is not true 4WD, it is all wheel drive...there is a differance. I had one but got rid of it because I had so much trouble with it, but that was an 05 model and my understanding is that most of those problems have been fixed. Good luck to you all!
