"I bought this mower new. I have a little over 500 hours on it and have done regular maintenance on this. My rear end went out at 500 hours which cost me $2600 to repair. I got it back and put another 20 hours on it and now my hydrostat unit is going bad which was quoted at $1000 to repair. The mechanic told me this was common at 500 hours for this series. I will be unloading this for a new John Deere next week. I thought Kubotas were built to last but have found they have cheapened up their brand to improve profits. Never again will I own a Kubota mower. "

"Bought new about seven years ago. It is excellent machine as far as operation and ability to get around on wet and hilly terrain, but lousy on durability. Head gasket, thermostat, and the water pump were issues over a period of one year. There were power steering cylinder brackets and a few other issues before 600 hours. Then there was a new starter and new mower drive gear box ($1,500) recently. There have been a total of nearly $3,000 in repairs since it was new. No more Kubotas for me. "

"The mechanical construction of the mower is excellent and performance is more than sufficient, however, the hood has literally fallen apart from vibrations. It first cracked where the hood hinges to the body and now I have no hood at all. I don't understand why such a nice piece of equipment does not have durability . . . after all, looks are a big part of the selling feature. In addition, the wheels on the mowing deck are stationary and when you have a lot of turning, the bolts break and if you can find the wheel, fine, if not, you have to replace the nuts, bolts, washers, and wheels. A deck designed with pivoting wheels would greatly improve this piece of equipment."

"Have been mowing my 5 acres for 20 years now have worn out 3 mowers of various makes. It's taken awhile to find the best on offer in Australia, so far the Kubota 2120 ticks all the squares. Ease of operation is major factor to me because of severe arthritis and stiff joints. Power steering is a must have. Couple of things that could be standard fitting are armrests mainly for added support and a 12-volt outlet (to run my weed sprayer), which I tow behind, I have fitted both myself I fitted the arm rests off my old mobility scooter with a bracket under the seat bolts and fitted the 12 volt outlet near the battery. It can handle wet and longer grass with ease and very economical. all in all I'm very happy with my Kubota highly recommend this model."

"I mow approx. 10 acres. The GR2120 has the power to take down grass that is 2'6". The diesel is a miser on fuel. The power steering is effortless. If I could give this mower a forestry rating I would. The 4 wheel drive makes going down steep hills safe. I do end up with a very sore back at 4 hours of mowing. We have to mow between the trees for competing vegetation. I sold my Pak Flail as I could not get close enough to the trees. The bad: the hydro-Static will leave you stuck if mowing up hill. It just does not have the power to the transmission to bring you back up steep grades. "

"This is just a wonderful mower. Diesel-tons of power. I have rough, hilly land that grower weeds, grass, rocks, in eastern Oklahoma. This mower works well, 4-wheel drive, power steering, good blade adjustment. Glide-steer works well, close cut around my trees without the back up go forward, back and forth. No problems and I do all of the PM. I am retired so much better on my back-driving in an upright sitting position. The zero turn mowers just drive every bump straight up your back. Great mower."

"1. The cable that automatically disconnects the outer turning wheel snapped within the warranty period and I was billed for the repair. The newer model unit now has a rod in place of the cable. After sending a letter to the manufacturer, I was told by return mail, "I could sell my used tractor to the dealer and buy the newer model." 2. It is extremely difficult to slide the mower deck under the machine with the non-caster wheels of the deck that will not roll in that direction. "

"Best small garden tractor I have ever owned. Pushed a lot of snow. Using turf tires. No chains. And it worked perfect. Diesel is truly the way to go and the 54 inch deck."

"Dealers can't seem to fix a leak at back near trans axle. Took it back where I bought it after first use it was leaking. They said they tightened a hose. It began leaking again after about two times mowing my yard. Gradual leak got worse every time until it got so bad it leaked all fluid out. Took it to a different dealer and they said they put a new clamp on it and serviced it an charged me $170.00. Now it's leaking again and now the steering cable broke. It tears up the lawn when I turn to sharp. Now it's at another dealer getting that fixed. Can't imagine what that will cost, but so far I'm not happy with an $8400.00 mower. I noticed the new 2120 has a heavy rod on steering instead of a weak and thin cable."

"Mower with tax cost $9K. Does a lousy job of mowing. Ordered it with a "mulching" kit installed. Had to remove the kit for the mower to cut at all ($200 out the window). Mower leaves jagged cut with uneven level across width of cut (blades are sharp). Has so much power the rear wheels tear up turf when making turns. Quit using the mower near house because it tears up sod so badly and leaves heavy wind rows. Mow near the house now with an old, ten year old Toro which does a nice clean, even cut. Has plenty of power for steep slopes not near the house where quality of the cut is not so noticeable. Stuck with this mower, but would never buy another one. "
