Steve, Thanks for thinking of us owners of the G series, we feel left out. I have a 99 g1900 diesel and would hope that you will include these on your web site. This is the best garden tractor that I have seen and hope that Kubota continues to keep them in production. They seem to be very heavily built, especially the mower decks. Do you know how long they have been in production?? They seem to have an excellent track record.

Very satisfied user of a G1800s. Tough to tell whether you should carry them or not. I have a feeling Kubota of America is going to discontinue them based upon the introduction of the TG series and the BX.

I primarily bought the G because of the ability to use a 46" snow thrower on a fairly small unit that goes easily into the garage and I can still get 2 cars in. The population of machines that can accomplish this is pretty small and all quite expensive. I'd have to say they'd be classified as "estate tractors", though having a small front loader to build stone walls around the house would be a great addition.

It's a wonderful machine that has done more than it's share of work at my place and I'd recommend it highly. The price point is pretty steep, especially when you add the attachments. But I guess Mercedes sells a fair amount of cars.

I would however consider you for parts if you had them available and were competitive. Most of the basic parts come direct from the KoA service center anyway.

Working on 3rd G series. First 2 were G1800S, 1-48", 1-54" now have G1900S 60". They are some kind of tough. Exceptional fuel economy for the work performed and non existant maintenance. Hope they continue to make them or something comparable.

Hi Steve,
Have owned my G1800 since Oct '99. Been very dependable, strong and very quiet to operate! It has been a pleasure to own and operate. Am now using Bio-diesel to make it environment friendly too.

I'm living on 5 acres and mow about 3. I've had my G1800 for about 10 yrs, 650 hrs. Very reliable, all I've done is routine maint. except for a one-time HST filter leak. However, if I were in the market today I'd probably go with the BX for the available loader and 3PH.
