GR2110 - I'm not impressed.

[bp fick]

How much more is a B23/26 than the BX2660 for you ?

Just looked on your US config.page ; USD1300 more for the B26
which may well be more useful if you're pulling rear PTO implements

The B2320 is not horribly more money. $1500 in the real world. Must also remember there's more sales tax on that increase. The B2620 would be $2200-$2500 more in the real world, with the additional tax.

The B series isn't the handy, nimble lawn cutter the BX is, though certainly, absolutely, positively more capable in the woods for a host of reasons.

Since the OP started this saga with a BR, going up to a B would be quite a journey in both size and price. :laughing:

Here on TBN, one of the most interesting phrases often heard is, "It' ONLY $2000 more". I get a kick out of that expression, as if $2000 is an "only".

If this was going to be the OP's only tractor, I'd definitely say go for the B, but OP already has an L. The BX's main job during mowing season is just that, mowing. In this case, I'd go for a B (just MHO).

Happy you got the deal from Kubota.
I guess we'll stay with our GR2110, but, I'm not as happy as I've been with other Kubota products. I just wish they'd recall the tranny and replace it with a good one.

the years , that were ONLY so much more :laughing:
I know , I know ..............:confused2:

I have owned a GR2110 for about 3 months now. It has been top notch. Smooth, even cut, lots of power. Will climb straight up and is very comfortable. I'm sorry to hear about so many others that have not had this experience. Hopefully Kubota gets the issues worked out.

As some of the other reader know, when I got my GR2110 I was fit to be tied. The dealer even swapped mine for a new one that was no better. But the problem was, it wouldn't climb hills and was too slow. They fixed that problem.
But the mowing has always been great.

Old Coot whats the serial number of your deck, does it have a cast iron Gear box? check out my other post please.

Always appreciate the feedback I get from this board - if it only came with a molded cab and A/C. My wife is slowly getting comfortable working the L5740 - doing simple stuff (e.g., cutting the fields). With a like equipped BX, no telling what she might get into - trying.

This will probably not help much in Alabama, but we got a Curtis cab for our BX2660, it is nice and warm for the winter, then in the summer, we pull the windshield, the doors and the back to leave a 4 post canopy. Makes for nice shade while mowing.

I've already looked at them via their web page. Showed a picture of one to my wife this afternoon - she thought it was cute. Winter is around the corner - so I'll see how it goes without one - perhaps in the future, but not because it's cute.

reverse speed. as i see it.
The fwd pedal on the gr2110 moves the linkage by the fan blade further than reverse. thus more pump pressure for fwd. The direction is the same on the linkage pump mechanism to compare pedal stroke in fwd and rev.
It appears the stop bolt under the reverse is restricting travel .Should be able to adjust the reverse pedal stop bolt under the pedal and re-adjust the switch that the pedal hits in reverse getting more speed. But check with a dealer to see if this is a safety issue for speed. i like to see how things work ,and this is only my opinion.
