Strengths

Weaknesses Abrupt stops when releasing rear pedal.Hydraulics could use a bit more pressure while steering could get a bit less.Would appreciate bigger front wheels.Had to modify seat brackets because of lack of forward adjustment.Also added hard vinyl spacers behind seat to stop "skweak-skweak.Narrow width make it easy to flip over,and tractor jurks a lot when moving forward with steering fully turned

Overall Got 2-3 oil leaks due to bad fit of O rings by company,but got very good service from my dealer.Very happy with my tractor,4wd is fantastic.Powerful and versatile.Nothing can stop it.My favorite toy.

Strengths Strong engine & drive train. Decent fuel economy. 4WD is surprisingly capable. DON'T EVEN ATTEMPT TO EVALUATE THIS TRACTOR UNLESS IT HAS 2.5 - 3+ YEARS OF USE. It seems like a great little machine until it is used in enough different situations where near-accidents are caused by the tractor's shortcomings in design.

Weaknesses DANGEROUSLY UNSTABLE with ANY sized or weight load in FEL... attributible to short wheelbase & narrow track (width) which also make for rough ride. Rear and/or front tires will lift off ground when turning on even slightly uneven terrain when using FEL with a light load. Mower deck height adjuster is problematic and dealer said most owners grind the steps on adjuster so that it will lock deck in 'UP' position. Thermostat reads in red in summer, but doesn't seem that overheating is occuring. FACTORY RECALLS were issued on seat, battery screen, PLASTIC deck (deck replacement and support bracket needed)and numerous other PLASTIC PARTS. New 2008-9 models reverted to steel deck and body panels because of bad design decision (using plastic). I stepped right through plastic deck on mine. Fenders, engine surround (cowl), headlight assbly. all cracked and replaced at considerable cost with SAME parts that WILL and DO crack again, so don't bother replacing any plastic components - a waste of $$$. Drill a tiny hole at end of newly discovered crack to keep it from getting longer or completely spanning a component part. Fuel Pump solenoid ($150) died @ 2.5 yrs. & bucket arm cyl. leaked @ 2 yrs. Tire warranty arbitrarily changed by Kubota meaning that they passed the buck to tire mfgr. dealers who may not even exist in a given region. Just filed in small claims court over tire company's (Carlisle Tire Co.) refusal to respond to their dealer after sidewall defect appeared and is worsening and poses an enhanced danger when using FEL on already unstable tractor. Mower deck-top is difficult to lube & clean due to design. Mower belt tensioning spring breaks regularly (buy a bigger spring at a farm supply store if you don't want to replace it annually). Wiring under rear fenders is not protected from dirt, snow/ice & succeptible to damage. Shift levers on left side interfere with driver mounting & dismounting. Levers & linkages tend to fill with dirt, leaves & debris and inhibit function. BRAKE PEDAL HEIGHT is same as HST pedal and latter is easily depressed when trying to brake if driver's foot is wider than Barbie Doll's. EXCEPTIONALLY DANGEROUS. Brake pedal and HST pedal placement has been changed on succeeding model. HST pedal sticks (won't release when foot pressure is removed despite lubrication. 'Glass' (actually plastic) guage window tends to leak and fog up. 'Cruise Control' is difficult to release when tractor is moving and has caused several panic situations for me. This tractor requires constant adjustment of system components just to maintian operability of basic functions. Tires are too small for all of the tasks that this unit is supposed to be capable of doing. Easy to get stuck, especially when creating a shallow trench with FEL and small front tires can't pull out of hole (and rears are too small to provide necessary torque). VIBRATION is excessive at low idle speeds and may be strongly contributory to cracking of plastic parts where ears or tabs are set over or slide under a bolt or screw. Mower deck is a pain in the rear to remove so that tractor can be used for other tasks (even for blade sharpening, cleaning and lubrication). Seat belt retractor keeps tightening until driver needs to unbuckle and reset return mechanism... it cuts you in half.

Overall Overpriced. Overdesigned & overhyped by mfgr. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND PRONE TO ROLL-OVER WHEN USING FEL and mowing on slope. NOTICE that even next bigger size model of Kubota has a fold-down ROPS, indicating constant roll-over risk from Mfgr's. liability perspective and indicating that dagerous problem was noted by manufacturer before marketing. Front edge of bucket wears quickly and is COSTLY to replace (professional welder with clamp up capability required). Three point hitch capability is limited as machine is not proportionally correct for common compact implements... another design oversight. KUBOTA has even changed the model number of this unit on 2008-9 models because of problems. It is NOW BX2360.

Strengths 4x4 works well, frugal with fuel, good overall design, plenty of power, comfortable

Weaknesses none yet

Overall can't do everthing the big boys do, but does everthing it's designed to do plus a little more.

Strengths Decent power, tough machine, uses very little fuel. Haven't found much I couldn't get it to do. The 4 wheel drive makes it more tractor than you would think it is. Small size for mowing in confined area but still does the big jobs.

Weaknesses Hard to work on. Broke the hydro fan, it is not an expesive part but is difficult to change. I've had 3 hydraulic leaks. my dealer sent someone to fix quickly.

Overall I have worked the tractor for 250 hours in one year. I cleared 5 acres of mesquite scrub and rocks. I was able to build rock walls with some rocks the loader could only tip on edge but the 4 wheel drive would still push.

Strengths Bought the new 2350 to handle my 3.5 acres mostly grass. An additional 30 of woods and thicket. Great machine. 60" mower deck does the job in 1.5 hrs as opposed to my old 42" in mower that took 5 hrs. Comfortable ride, plenty of power to plow the 200 ft driveway with the loader. Moved giant bolders, yards and yards of soil, Dragging deer from the woods, and countles other jobs around the yard. Pretty quiet too. The diesel is tough and the tractor seems well built. Cant beat the 0% finance and warranty. MUCH better deal then the green and blue brands.

Weaknesses Blew a hydro line and the throttle lever came loose a couple times. Be sure to check the oil after 20 or so hrs. She was a quart low after break in. Head light and signal switch is confusing and gets bumped by the left knee easily. Knobs on levers fall off easily..add some gorilla glue. Tires tend to go low an air after accessive loader use. No big problems though!

Overall Nice powerful tractor. Im on it all year and use it to the limit of our harsh NYS winters and mud. Well built and reliable. looks cool in the barn too. Nice man toy!

Strengths Fuel consumtion is very good, better than a gas. I mow 6 acres on little fuel in very litte time compared to my other mower.

Weaknesses Seat recall has been fixed. Getting hot during a hot day. It was told to me that the temp. guage is too close to the heat source and recommended a plate be assemble between the two. I will see how that works when I mow this summer while it is very hot outside. Also, had to have the deck fixed, it broke. All of this, was told to me that kubota(or the dealer) knows about.

Overall Easy to handle, uses less fuel and covers a good area in less time.

Strengths FIRST OF ALL - Comments by owners who don't have 500 or more hours on their machines ARE USELESS. 1.)Engine 2.)Drive Train 3.)Fuel Economy are good. 4.)Starts well even in below freezing temps. 5.)Runs strong but is significantly underpowered for what it is supposed to do by design and marketing hype. 6.)Four wheel drive is respectable.

Weaknesses {Removed for language}

Overall {Removed for language}

Strengths Lots of power. Mine started in -5 degree temp. Great maneuverability and easy to master controls.

Weaknesses FEL bucket has a welded cutter bar. Wish it was bolted as mine is wearing already. Hydro cooling fan is easily broken but its only 5 bucks.

Overall Couldnt really ask more from this tractor. Its done way more than i thought it would already.

Strengths Smooth engine, nice operators plat form, the placement of all of the levers,

Weaknesses Hydro-Static transmission, the transmission does not return to neutral. Engine could use a bit more torque.

Overall Great machine

Strengths

Weaknesses None that I know of

Overall I used my Kubota HST to reclaim/recover from Hurricanes Ivan and Dennis. My property was 3.5 acres, with 3 acres finish mowed. I doubt anyone could work a tractor harder, for longer periods of time. Maintenance is critical, including attention to ALL grease fittings!
