Two Kubota dealers and a factory area service manager have not been able to solve the problem with my Kubota BX2200 cutting unevenly. The deck is level, blades are sharp, and deck is not warped or cracked. I like the size of the tractor, but the finish cut is poor. I am so fed up that at 70 hours, I am considering biting the bullet and getting a Deere 2210. (I compared a Kubota B7510's cut, and although it was better, it was not as smooth as my old B7200.) Anyone have any experience with its finish cut with a 62" mid-mount mower? Anyone have any experience with a Mahindra 2015 with a mid-mount mower?

I posted a message on 4/4/04 re: the uneven cut of the BX2200. Dealer has again checked and leveled deck and removed all "play" from torsion bar. It cuts fine at 3", but looks bad at 3.5". Does anyone have any idea why this is happening? The dealer does not. Also, I am thinking of trading up to a B7510 to get a mower that runs on the ground (like my old B7200) instead of a suspended deck. Does anyone have any experience with the finish mowing of the B7510?

I have a Kubota BX2200 with 62 hours on it. I am very unhappy with the finish cut of the mid-mount suspended mower deck (60"). The dealer adjusted and leveled it, but my neighbor with a $1,995 Craftsman gets a better finished cut. I wish I had kept my B7200 which had a mid-mount that rolled on the ground. I am considering trading for a 7510, but that is a lot more tractor than I need. Have also looked at JD and NH, but similar sized tractors have suspended decks. I do not want to use a rear mower. Both the JD and NH dealers say their suspended decks cut better than the Kubota, but I need some objective feedback from folks in the know. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
