Kubota or Iseki

Posted by Tim Bucknall on July 7, 2021 at 2:37pm in Groundscare and Machinery

I'm on the verge of buying a new cut-and-collect ride-on mower which can cope with lawns of a few thousand m2 and in particular, will cope in the wet. The main contenders seem to be the Kubota G231 and the Iseki SXG323+.  What are people's experience/ opinion of either?

    I'm afraid I only have experience of the Iseki. It seemed to cope ok in the wet but what really annoyed me is that yuo cuoldn't reverse in full speeds without disengaging the blades - which was a long lever instead of a toggle switch.

      Thanks Nick. Good to know you found it OK in the wet- that's one of my biggest concerns with either machine.
