I have the opportunity to get a B2100 with a loader and 54" mid mower. I have 6 acres and 1 1/2 are finished mowed, but hilly and the lot is odd shaped (long and skinny). I would like to move loam, mulch, plow snow and mow, but I'm concerned that the Kubota won't be able to mow a 1 1/2 acre lot. I have a garden tractor with a 40" mower now. Will the kubota be more or less stable? Will it mow as good and how much less manuverable is the kubota. It's just so much bigger I'm concerned it will not work on the lawn. Thanks for the advice.

It is hard to give a sure answer from your information. I have a B1750 which, I understand, is built on the same frame as the B2100. It turns remarkably tight, although with the 4WD, the front wheels sometimes cut the ground in sharp turns. I cut 5 acres with my 1750 and a pull-behind mower. When I bought it, the grass was 2' - 3' tall and it cut it without hesitation.As for stability, I don't have any experience with garden tractors, but my Kubota is quite stable. They will roll over, though, just like anything if you put them in the wrong place. If you have a front end loader on the tractor, keep the bucket low when on uneven terrain to keep the center of gravity low.I would measure the grade and check with a Kubota dealer to see if they have any advice on maximum grades for that particular tractor. On some models, the rear wheels can be set outward to improve stability. The dealer should be able to advise you on that too. ....
