Implements : mower
Purchased From : Johnson City Kubota
Strengths Great machine. I was using a smaller 42 inch cut rider before and it took me 4.5 hrs to mow my two acres. I get it done under three with this baby. Lots of power
Weaknesses Deck cracked, being replaced at the dealer now. i took it in because it was giving me a problem with the PTO sticking to the point of not turning the mower blades. The dealer said the valve in the PTO clutch was clogged up, and then he had to replace the valve. I love my machine but wonder it anyone else had this problem. I have now found anyone with a sinilar problem. Also it does run hot after mowing for about two hours on a hot day. I guess I need to clean the air filters.
Overall Over all a great machine. I just hope the PTO problem does not mean I have a lemon. I have had this machine for two years and only used 86 hrs so far.

Strengths FUEL. I HAVE THE BX2350 WITH THE 60" MIDMOUNT DECK AND MOW 4 ACRES. THE 4 ACRE MOW ONLY USED 3 GALLONS OF FUEL. WHEN REVIEWING OTHER GAS MODELS (CRAFTSMAN 27HP), THE EXPECTATION WAS 4 GALLONS EVERY 2 ACRES. PRICE WAS $10,500 WITH 0% FOR 42 MONTHS. BEST DEAL ON THE MARKET!
Weaknesses I HAVE ONLY HAD THE TRACTOR FOR 1 MONTH AND HAVE NOT RUN ACROSS A WEAKNESS.
Overall I AM VERY HAPPY WITH THE TRACTOR AND WOULD RECOMMEND IT TO ANYONE. i CAN'T WAIT TO PUSH SOME SNOW. (MICHIGAN)

Price Paid : $14,500.00
Years of Use : 180-Days
Implements : FEL, snowblower, rotary cutter, grader blade
Purchased From : Union Farm Equipment, Maine
Strengths 2350 has great power and I've moved some serious loads of rock with the FEL. Snowblowed over 18 inches of snow multiple times this winter and never needed more power. Snowblowed uphill with just turf tires and never slipped. Handles well this season as a mower as well.
Weaknesses Shattered the transmission cooling fan while bushhogging and blew out a sidewall on oe of the rear OTR GrassMaster tires on some sharp brush. These tires weren't that easy to find for replacement!
Overall Great tractor for the price, after comparing it with the JD 2305. Nicer layout than the New Holland. I would recommend this tractor to anyone for small/midsized work. I mow 4 acres and bushhog 3, plus clear 1600 feet of driveway with a rear mount snowblower in Maine.

Weaknesses The website wont let me post strenghts !
Overall the web page is abit screwy, but i wanted to tell you folks what you can do with weight on a 72 inch rake! I have a farm force quick hitch( I know a woods ripoff....), but holy! I added 300 lbs on top for about 750 at hitch center, this thing works. You won't be disappointed. It does a better job than the King Kutter BB. Get weight in the back, an amazing performer with weight.

Price Paid : $12,000.00
Years of Use : 2-Years
Implements : box grader, snow blower, loader, rear blade, plow
Purchased From : Emerichs
Strengths Compact and reliable.
Weaknesses Very tipsey without couter balance on rear. I use a box grader when loading which usually is needed for the overall job anyway. With the box on the rear it is very stable.
Overall I love it. By the way, all you guys that have broken the deck, Kubota has a engineered a retrofit that provides support for the deck. I don't think it's a recall, but if you bring your machine in broken, that's how they fix it now.

Price Paid : $15,000.00
Years of Use : 180-Days
Implements : 60"MMM, FEL, boxblade, Landpride reverse till rototiller
Purchased From : carver equip inc.
Strengths Very powerful. Was scraping some in-grown weeds off of our driveway's surface with the front end loader in 4WD/low and accidentally dug out part of the driveway/peeled the asphalt right up- very powerful. Thought I needed a small bushhog to mow the 2 to 3 foot tall grass in the back pasture and by the pond and instead tried using the 60" mid mount mower -- it cut that grass right down. Lost some rpm a couple times, but the engine never came close to being brought to its knees, seriously heavy grass. Easy to use/well laid out hydraulic, PTO and speed controls. Comfortable seat and position- can run for hours without pain in the butt or back or anywhere else. Incredible fuel efficiency... can run for 8-10 hours??? on a tank. 3 cylinder diesel is fairly quiet and again; very powerful. Starts immediately everytime. Traction and power are plentiful. Will spin all four wheels, with differential lock on and not run out of power. Tractor is very stable as long as I match the speed/implements to the terrain.
Weaknesses Seat is too high, or doesn't adjust far enough forward for my wife (4' 10" in a centrifuge) and the automatic operator sensor feature tries to cut off the engine when she reaches forward for the engine speed control on the column. Tachometer can be hard to read when the steering wheel isn't turned in the straight ahead position.
Overall Excellent machine. Although we only have 4 acres,
I wanted to go with a sub compact diesel because of power and weight/traction for mowing, but also FEL work and tilling. I definitely don't regret this power when mowing pasture grass. I looked at gas x??? garden tractors and others but I feel the inline diesel engine has all the power I need, with some to spare. Nothing against gas, but I think diesel does more work per gallon of fuel.

Years of Use : 30-Days
Implements : FEL, 60" Mower
Purchased From : Heartland Kubota
Strengths Very comfortable opperators platform with easy to reach controls. The slanted design of the FEL makes it very easy to see. This tractor seems to have a great deal of power for its size. The removal of the FEL and mower are very simple and take just minutes.
Weaknesses I wish it came with a tool box of some kind in order to store tools and other items. Other than that, I love it.
Overall Great machine! I can't believe how much work I can get done. I spent 3 years researching every possible make and model. I made the right choice by going with the Kubota. Its the best tractor in it's class and very affordable compared many other manufacturers.

Review By : John on Dec 12 2007 12:00AM
Price Paid : $0.00
Years of Use : 2+ Years
Implements : Loader. 60" mid-mt mower deck, carryall, quick hitch.
Purchased From : Local agent, Toowoomba, Queensland, Australia
Strengths Very useful little tractor with large tractor capibilities! Only had it a couple of months and over the past 2 week-ends, moved & levelled about 20yds of gravel. Was supplied a 3pl counterweight with the loader (150 kg)which gives good stability.
Weaknesses Lack of independant control of the mower deck. I am looking at setting up a seperate hydraulic cylinder at present. Also, when slowing down in reverse, the tractor stops very quickly which can cause neck injuries. Is there any sort of damper which anyone has fitted to the reverse pedal to reduce the rate of deceleration?
Overall Very impressive and my package deal was cheaper than the second hand Jap imports or new Chinese made machines, coupled with reliable local service.
Good solid feel to this machine comparable to the best of the best big machines.
