KUBOTA GR1600 11, Ride on Good Value?

Posted by Ross Stuart Mckinlay on May 26, 2013 at 5:51pm

Hi

I have been offered a 2009 kubota GR1600 11 with just under 400 hrs on the clock for £3500.

It seems in reasonable condition.I have had a demo and it cuts nicely the only thing i noticed was when the deck is up it seems lower on the left than the right? It also a lot noisier than my Countax but then its a diesel. It doesn't seem quite so maneuverable but i guess i would get used to that, otherwise it suits my needs.

Do people think these are good mowers? Anything to watch for?

I would appreciate any comments

Thanks Ross

    All I know is you can get a new one for ~ £4.3 - £4.5K + vat if you look really hard! I've looked at similar machines, same age, same price, but thought a new one was maybe a better bet. I imagine it would take far more abuse than a Countax. Should be economical too. There is a campsite here who has one, the guy who uses it loves it by all accounts. I've never cut with one, but did drive one around a car park, lol.
