Have you considered a ZTR(Zero turn radius) mower? Looked up the cost of these on tractor house and you can get a ZTR for the same price, may not be a Kubota but more of an off brand if that means anything to you. Personally do not feel the need for a diesel lawn mower. I'd spend the money in diesel on a nice ZTR save yourself a lot of time and money. Especially with diesel prices be obnoxiously high these days.
Just some food for thought.
I really no nothing about the GR2110 besides that though

There are forums that are designated for specific Tractor brands here on TBN. If you feel the need to compare makes and models, perhaps this website will assist you? TractorData.com - information on all makes and models of tractors Good Luck.:tractor:

Again, don't listen to any advise I'll give you on the GR2120 because I really know nothing about them other than what the Kubota website says... that I just looked up:laughing:. But if your lawn is really steep and need a snow blower I would still consider a ZTR and get a walk behind snowblower. I have a lawn tractor that I bought nearly 10 years ago and coming up to an upgrade, I will definitely be getting a ZTR next time around. The ZTR's are very low to the ground and have a nice wide wheelbase though so they don't tip and most now have a ROPS. I would feel much safer with a ROPS on hilly land mowing, wouldn't do without it. It only takes one time mowing a lawn w/o a ROPS and roll to be missing part of a hand, arm, leg or worse. That's just my opinion but if your land is excessively steep I would have a ROPS, even if you go up to a BX series, but I couldn't be out there. I've mowed my lawn with the same tractor for 10 years and theres one steep area and it gives me the same butterflies every time that if this thing goes over who knows what could happen with those blades spinning. With a ROPS and a seat belt at least you know the only damage is going to happen to your tractor and not you:thumbsup:
Don't let it discourage you from the GR but just food for thought. I know I wouldn't be out there.

Get a home demonstration , before you buy anything .
You'll get to see what can/can't cope with a slope.

BIL bought a ZTR for his mountain property, what a mistake that was. My
neighbor mows full time, we asked him if he clean up our yard last Fall,
he said nope too many slopes.
I've seen the GR series diesel demo'd on a bank that you could barely walk up
or down and this guy drives straight down and then turns half way down and
drives back up. I almost closed my eyes because I just knew it was going to
turn over, stuck like glue, right back up the bank it went.

If it is steep and you need a blower, go look at the BX series also for a little more money you get a lot more tractor.

Comparing new to new - definitely true, although the Kubota GR series is less expensive new than the JD x700 series. However when you're talking about used, the 2305 JD and Kubota BX series hold their value better than the high-end garden tractors. Sometimes you can get a great deal on a high-end garden tractor with low hours and they're actually a good value.
