It has been a flawless.




I have seen a couple of the 231 on market place. Not opposed to them. Just threw them 2 tractors out there for a size and hp example. On the new kubota deal. Cant afford one at the moment. Like posted I just bought a house in this highly inflated market. So new is out of the question for a couple years. These old tractors run for ever with little to no real mechanical issues.
Not having the funds is certainly something I can relate to. Some food for thought though..... If you can give them a small down payment they'll give you 0% interest for up to 84 months; the payments are very small. I will add that if you decide against the kubota and are just mowing with it I'd go green. The yanmar is a great engine but my kubota has way more hydraulic power for implements.
