    Not sure what to buy

    Bought a BX 2330 in 2006 for 26 acres of relatively flat to sloping land. The issue is rough terrain. The front wheels on a BX frame are too small for anything but groomed land. I bought a B2910 in 2010 and sold the 2330 for just that reason. It has been great but I'd still fall in the bigger is...

    ztr controls returning to neutral

    Thanks for the input all. I went out today to a second Kubota dealer who also sold a brand called Hustler and to the John Deere dealer next door.

    New vs used: First tractor...Kubota BX 18XX

This would not include regular lawn mowing in my experience but even that might add only another 100 or so hours so used sounds safe...

    ztr controls returning to neutral

    I just tried out a 724 54" ztr and also the 100 series ztr they had at the dealer in Rickreal, Oregon. The handles on my first ztr, a Dixon, return to neutral on releasing the handle. My wife was unhappy that Kubota ztr's did not do this on either the 700 or 100 series (they didn't have a 400...
