Thinking about buying a gr2110

[LBrown59]

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

1*True but i could have bought a new BX 1850 Sub Compact for not to much more than the Kubota high end garden tractor .
2*True enough .
3*Yes that is possible but it didn't happen when I was shopping .

I bought this used 2003 BX1500 for &4525 without the front blade and tiller .
At the time older used JD 455s with more hours were in the $4000 to $6000 range but after looking for nearly 2 years I could not find one in my area.
To date I still have less than 400 hours on it

At the same time I purchased this new BX1500 for $6300with out the MMM.
This compared to about $10500 more or less for a new JDx700.
I now have 197 hours on it.

I have priced both, there is a big difference if shopping new from list.

GR2110, 48" mmm, snow blower, $11223.

BX1860, 48" mmm, mid pto kit, snow blower, fel valve/stick, quick hitch, $14606.

The BX is about 30% and $3383 more than the GR. I know the BX is a heavier built tractor than the GR, but I do not need that, just want something to replace my JDLX188 with to mow and move snow. 4WD on either will be a bonus.

I will say this the GR series is no more Garden Tractor than a BX is Row Crop tractor. There's no way the hitch much of anything but a bagger, a scrap blade and a snow blower on it. It is a fine Lawn Tractor, I've test driven a couple, they're not in the same league as an X700, more inline with an X500 as far as attachments and weight, although the X500 series takes more attachments. The mechanics of the GR series a somewhat of a marvel when comes to the way it disengages the inside rear wheel in turns, that's how it's able turn the way it does.

You found a good deal, but a 2003 GR series would have been available for less. Generally speaking a BX series Kubota or a 2000 series John Deere holds its value better (as a percentage of initial purchase price) than the Kubota GR series or the John Deere x700 series.

My local dealer has the X720 with a 54" deck $9200. We were just in there a few weeks ago.

We priced the GR2110 with 54" deck and it $7800 about 3 years ago.

If you are comparing the GR2110 to an LX188 you will be extremely pleased with the Kubota GR2110. Another thought for your consideration is to look for a BX with less than 100 hours - bet you can find one with a snowblower for less than the price you mentioned for the GR2110. Brady Barlow has a good inventory, sells to people all over, and has a lot of satisfied customers that frequent this site. Just a thought. Good luck with your shopping.

I considered a GR and ended up with a BX. More money for sure, but I really wanted the loader which of course isn't available on the GR. Either way, you'll really like the 4wd on hilly terrain.
