I been looking at John deer X500 series mowers and am now considering the GR2120. Is everybody that has one, happy with it. I know the older version had leak issues.
Thanks

What all are you intending to do with the tractor? Both the options are quite salty. I know the 2120 lists at over $9000. It may be possible to get a larger, lightly used machine for not much, if any more money. In passing glance, the Deere looks bigger to me.

Mowing 2 acres. Thinking about a Snow blower or blade for it.
Just sold my L3240 and am not looking for another tractor. Been looking at Deere mowers and love to have a X758. Just not willing to pay that much. X500's are about the same price range as the Bota, but with less standard features, like 4wd/diesel and more. I'd love to buy american made, but sometimes it's hard to do

Have you sat on one? I have not operated one, personally, but I did track down the one at work and looked over it. The power steering is very nice, but the steering wheel was very low for me to be comfortable. Either way, good luck!

I strongly recommend you at least take a look at a BX1870. With a 54 inch MMM they're selling for just a few hundred dollars more than a GR2120. Especially since you mentioned snow blowing and pulling/pushing a blade. Just my two cents. YMMV. Good luck with your decision.

Had a bad Deer experience and went back to Kubota and the dealer i had bought 2 tractors from in the past. Took the GR2120 for a spinn today and the 4 WD along with the diesel blew me away. Should have done that before looking at the green stuff! Signed the papers and might have it later this week. Cant wait....
