wife got a local paper to look at the classified adds. in doing so there was an add for a GX345 with lots of extras. So we ended up getting it.

Now that you have the GX345 for mowing you can skip the bx2350 and mower and and grab the BX24 without a mower and then you will be all set.

Rlbol,

The 345 is a good machine. I had a 355 I put 400 trouble free hours on. It had the diesel but otherwise it is the same. I only sold it because I wanted four wheel drive for winter.

If you don't have the service records I would change the engine oil & filter and the HST oil and filter. Eventually you should do a coolant flush too.

I kept mine inside but waxed it once a year. A bit of fine rubbing compound and then wax should help the hood out.

Sounds like you made a good deal on a great tractor. Good luck.

Don't know where you live but if you ever decide to put a snow blade on be aware that the Kubota does not have hydraulic blade angle and the 455 does.
===============

I just ordered a used Kubota BX1500 with a hydraulic lift and hydraulic angle blade.

I see BXes in the $5-6k range, about half the price of a new jd X700 diesel model.

-Fordlords-

That's why I was able to buy :
2 BX1500s
2 48'' MMMs
A front Hyd lift and angle front blade
and A rear 48'' tiller
for $15600 delivered.

One new JD X700 with front blade rear tiller and a 48'' mower would probably cost more than the $15600.

Ok I'll ask the question: Why did you buy two? One for each foot???

1 to replace 2 Bolens tractors the other to replace a CC 2554.
I am not adding tractors .
I am reducing the fleet.

I have 4 but switching to 3 .

I've answered that in other post that you must have missed.

What do you actually use them for though. Do you run a mowing company?

You enjoy being a moron I see. I corretced you once on the fact that my post was reffering to the G1900 series tractor which is the title of this thread, but you insist on trying to show I am wrong.

I have noticed your are LB59 on another forum and you report a completely different location. Your posts are quite contentious there too. You have absolultly no credibility LB.

PS. Don't bother to reply because I have clicked your ignore button. Sweet relief.
