Advice on GR2120 hydro

Some of you helped with my recent query concerning what to mow with after selling my G1900S. I have a BX and most seemed to think I'd be happy with that as a primary mower. Only mow a one acre yard and some community property in our subdivision.

Since my BX has a 48" deck and I have several ditches and treelines where I need a deck that sticks out from the mower I've had my eye out for a 60" BX deck. No luck so far. By the way, I just posted that I'm looking to buy one in the "Buy and Sell" board on this website,

In the meantime I've run across a GR2120 that has 500 hours and has had the hydro/transmission rebuilt. I know that earlier versions of the GR series had hydro problems, but thought they were corrected before the 2120 was produced. ?? The work was done by a reputable local dealer.

Would you be scared of a machine that had a rebuilt hydro/transmission?

I'd rather find a 60" deck and give that a try, but the GR does seem like a pretty good deal.

Appreciate any advice. Thanks!

Probably $800-1,000 for a deck. $3,500 - 4,500 for a GR2120.

Thanks, 77vette. What did you switch to after the GR?

Thanks, Lugbolt. I know what you mean about the G1900. The one I sold was really a nice machine and I might regret letting it go.

I appreciate the advice on the GR series. I think I'm leaning toward just mowing with the BX, at least for a season, and seeing how it does. I don't "have" to get a 60" deck, but the 48" deck doesn't stick out far from the machine, especially with 2" spacers on rear wheels.
