Have mowed several times. Am a very happy owner , the Gr2120 sips fuel, goes up or down all my hills without spinning or sliding a tire . The power Steering is great , power is great, only complaint I have is the ride, can't seem to adjust anywhere where it is comfortable, But than again, I get to put in more time on couch since I got this mower. I do wish it would mow in reverse, but safer as is .

You can mow in reverse. After you have engaged the blades, press the button to the right of the steering wheel. The light on the button will flash. It will now allow you to mow in reverse until you disengage the blades. I am in the habit of pressing the button right after I engage the blades so I can always mow in reverse.
Thank You ! I guess I didn't read every thing I should have . Haven't tried it yet ,but found the button .
What motor oil is anyone using on Gr2120 Diesel Mower? Is Shell Rotella a good oil for them ? Weight ?

i was gonna say - get an edge on them blades.......i have had blades upside down and "cut" grass, but a good keen edge make the grass sing! If you get down and take a "good" up close of grass it tells a good story about the blades that were used.
Thanks , That is what I came up with after asking. I just wanted to top off mine , was a hair low, Have 45 hours on it. Figure I can finish leaves before the 50 hour oil change . Wasn't below the add mark, but I have a lot of steep hills and didn't want to chance it. Used 15W40 Shell rotella to top off . I was worried about putting the leaf trailer behind it. Can't even tell it is back their . Seems to handle it fine . I picked up leaves today, emptied trailer every 1/2 hour and did complete yard in the time it usually takes to mow it, I am still trying to figure out how I did it ! Thanks for reply !
I am getting ready to change oil on my 2014 Gr2120 Diesel mower . Is their any thing wrong with a wix oil filter and 15w40 Shell Rotella oil ? I don't want to hurt my mower, but can't really see driving 35 miles to dealer to pay twice as much as I can buy 3 miles from home . Please feel free to correct me if I am thinking incorrectly !
Sounds like we both have the same machine with the same hours, I am loving mine so far.I didn't think the dealer prices where that outrageous but I stocked up last time I was there. I'm not saying the other products won't work butI don't want to mess with the warranty.
I don't think I will void the warranty if I use the oil with the specified rating . All it said in my manual was to use API service CF or higher 10w30 or 15w40 . I will call my dealer and make sure . Thanks for reply !
Anybody tried a front snowblower on the gr2120? Wondering if I should upgrade to a bx2370 or stick with the gr
I have a new 2120 and new 2728 snowblower I'm hoping it will do the job but we haven't had enough snow yet I will keep you updated.
no it probably won't void your warranty I just like to be able to prove what kind of oil I bought and if I bought it from the same dealer that's preforming any warranty work it just makes it easier, but that's just my opinion good luck.
Has anybody else wanted to mount tail lights on their GR? I like the looks of the Bx wrap around, but don't know if they would fit GR series or price. Any help appreciated!
I've got a new GR2120 and so far I like it. I'll be changing the oil and filters for the first time soon. Wondering if anyone has suggestions on a good oil to use and alternative filters. I found a cross reference for the engine oil filter but have not found a cross for the hydraulic filter (HHK20-36990).
Thanks
Thanks
After reading your question, I ordered a set of LED lights and added them to my GR2120. Not fancy, but they are bright. Cost about $10. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CE0MDKY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I was going to use Shell Rotella and Wix filters, but a helpful person on here pointed me to dealer. No more often than need to change it, I went with dealer. that way they have record of me changing oil and filters. I only put about 60 hours a year on mine, so not a great expense. Thanks also for other post answering my light question!
I ordered Led taillights off them too. being cheap , I let them send them free postage, hope to have them within a month, just be nice when mowing at edge of highway! Should add , am very pleased with the Gr2120 Diesel, can not only mow my hills without sliding , but can stop anywhere on the hills , also went back in my woods and cut some tall stuff never mowed before, never boughed down , just took it down !After reading your question, I ordered a set of LED lights and added them to my GR2120.

I took your advice and bought a different set for my Kubota from listing you showed, like them , in fact ordered a second set to back up the ones I installed.After reading your question, I ordered a set of LED lights and added them to my GR2120.

I put a set of reflectors on they don't do much but they look OK I will be ordering what you got. They are exactly what I need when blowing snow especially near the road. Can you tell us how you hooked them up, I guess the headlight was the only place they can work from. Thanks
