Kubota T1600 hst or G5200

Hi just a question in regards to the above mowers, which of these mowers is the better one to go for? I know the T1600 is a 2 cylinder and the G5200 is a 3 cylinder, which has the better HST or are they the same? Looking for any advice thanks.

Cheers
Daniel

G5200 was a much better machine, the t1600 frame and hydro was built to light in my opinion.
I have had g4200& g6200 both were bullet proof.

No personal experience with the T1600, here, but have been very pleased with 2 years service from our G5200.
Very strong little tractor. Have to keep reminding my wife that cutting the field is what the brush hog is for.
Had to fix a few things when we first got it, but now it's running great.

Forget the T1600!!!!! The input shaft is NLA and the front houing is more $ then you would pay for the mower. The input shaft rear bearing is way way to small.

Thanks for the input guys, i I picked up a neat g5200 and they look much stronger than a t1600.

Thanks for the advice.
