    My Kubota W5019! Looking for info and help.

    That was the problem. Thanks! It runs and works like a champ now, especially after doing an oil change, new spark plug and new air and fuel filters. Messick's is outstanding with still having parts for it as well.

    A GR2120 or BX1880?

    I'll go run some numbers on this as this morning the dealer gave me quotes for both with a loader, 54" mower deck, and Rim Guard for the tires and price difference is $3K. Thank you to all for your help! Its been great to hear from those who actually have and use them and their experience...

    A GR2120 or BX1880?

    The salesman is recommending the BX2380 due to the slopes in the yard. Suppose that would be nice if doing ground engaging work on those said slopes. Will have to give that some more thought. I suppose having the extra horsepower would be nice if projects do become larger and running more things.

    A GR2120 or BX1880?

    I went to a dealer this morning, who also sells New Holland, to speak to a salesman and just stated my needs and wants, what kind of property I have as I did here to see what was recommended and the first thing he said was a BX. He took me out to the one on the lot that was easiest to look over...

    A GR2120 or BX1880?

    I'm going to try to get to my rather nearby Kubota dealer this afternoon before they close but that may be pushing it for both me and them time wise. If not, will do it tomorrow morning and explain my needs and some wants and see what they offer. The BX with a loader seems like a clear winner in...

    A GR2120 or BX1880?

    Thank you for the responses thus far! Please keep them coming. This will be my first major yard equipment machine outside of my Kubota W5019. It seems to be pretty one sided for the BX1880. This forum has been much more helpful than other places I've asked machine questions and no one responds...

    A GR2120 or BX1880?

    I am in a bit of a conundrum as I am trying to decide what would be the right machine for my needs. I have a half acre of property in the Northeast that wasn't well maintained at all by the previous owner so I want to fix that and bring it up to its potential. The property is nice and flat up...

    My Kubota W5019! Looking for info and help.

    Thanks for that! I'll give it a try. I wasn't able to get to it today due to some more pressing projects and am flying out for work tomorrow. I'll work on it this coming weekend and keep you all updated. Its such an unusual Kubota and in such excellent condition that I would like to keep it...

    My Kubota W5019! Looking for info and help.

    Hi, I am new here and today purchased a Kubota W5019-PC. I found this on Facebook Marketplace and was extremely intrigued as, for one, I had no idea Kubota made a push mower, never mind a gas engine. I did what research I could on these and come to find out there is very little out there about...
