Kubota T Series T2080

My mower can't go.up hills – It stops on a gradually hill and then it starts to grab and then gets up the hills I've changed the oil in transmission and checked the belt looks all good but might be a little lose could that be the problem and to.the guy who can't adjust the mower deck have a look underneath at the 4 mounting points they all have adjustable even the front rollers wheels can be adjusted Show details

belt issues all the time – Just wanna cut the farkin grass. constant belt issues. Poor design. Show details

Kubota t2080 didnt use it more then 3 circle and issues are rising like hell – Belt keeps on breaking. Service done by norwood Pukekohe New Zealand and still same issues with belt. Keeps on breaking. Show details

This is Terrible, I could live fine without it – Just not a Mower I would buy again. No, it is not really easy to maintain, burns Belts very easy, also Cuts Grass VERY uneven, can't adj. it at all to stay even. Comfort to ride is about only thing I DO like about this mower. It is easy on fuel of coarse that could be because one is constantly replacing belts or adj. Cutting level on Deck. &… Read more

mower is sitting idle most of the time.

Do yourself a favor & stay away from this model. Lots of other choices to choose from.

Still performing well at 380 hrs !! – Anyone following my reviews could get the impression I am a Kubota convert and cant see beyond them !! Not true, while I am still more than satisfied with my unit, experience has told me there are other brands available that have just as many satisfied followers as I have. Now for the housekeeping, the main drive belt finally gave up but I… Read more

consider that a pretty reasonable performance over 380hrs @ $74 nz also had to replace the wire brake cable on the deck @ $70 nz I bought a new main deck belt as a spare @ $66 over the last 100hrs. So pretty reasonable wear and tear over that time. Now after seeing the performance of some of the new Zero turn mowers now available I would be very, very tempted into buying that type of mower for the areas that I currently mow. The Kubota suffers from being a bit light in the back end, especially on my hilly stuff, and has a tendency to take off on a steep slope downwards and skid on nice new green grass climbing up. Not everyone of course is faced with this situation, however I have had a number of Zero turn, twin transmission units demonstrated on the property since and they don't suffer from that problem. The braking from twin units gives no skidding at all on quite steep slopes that would give you the tom-tits on a conventional mower. Now go and do your homework on what brand you would like, price again will probably dictate the unit you buy, but research the transmission specs and you will find most, not all, in a price range share the same transmission, because most of them are badge engineered anyway. So I'm stuck with the Kubota, short of winning Lotto, because it looks as if it may outlast me. Kubota have some very nice Zero turns. Happy Mowing !!!

A cut above most ride on mowers – I bought orange over green because of the quality of deck, steering and overall design. I had water filled lug tyres fitted which suits my hilly country and it goes anywhere. I spent ages trying to find a mower where sticks are not thrown into the belt / pulley system and I don't believe they exist. This mower is the best I can find as I mow 2-3… Read more

acres much of it under gum trees. I have still thrown both belts once. If people are burning/ melting belts then they need to slow down to enable deck to throw cleanly rather than jam the system I had an hour meter fitted by dealer for $50 . A cheap item to ensure regular servicing records. Seating is sprung which is better than usual rough ride of old mower.

The 2 cyl motor is the better option over the single. Kubota have followed up on purchases and responded to my criticism regarding a Less than smooth rack and pinion steering system although I don't know whether they will modify new ones as they should. Because of lug tyres there is a tendency for front wheels to not grip like a raised rib front tyre should when turning sharply. Have only done 40 hours so far but it seems as good as new and still feels tight overall. The quality of the cut on the small piece of lawn I have is excellent. Safety features are brilliant although I get tired of having to reset reversing switch- bloody yanks over paid lawyers again.

Would buy another one in the future but I suspect this one will outlast me.

Top Mower – This is my 2nd Kubota updated from a T1670 2009 model, as the dealer said this is a big step from the old one which i was very happy with after destroying 3 cheaper mowers in the previous 6 years! I finally turned to a mower that can the rough stuff. Our land 1&3/4 acres is slopey and gets invaded by ants every year which leave dirt mounds that… Read more ·  1

dry hard, destroy cheap blades and mowers! You needed to wear a kidney belt and put a bit of wood in your mouth to save the teeth! But the first kubota sorted this out, thats why I went back and got another one. only done 1st cut but am very impressed, this mower is a big jump up from the old one, 20hp Kohler runs smooth, air cleaner easy to get to so is oil and fuel filter so maintenance is easy. Will see how it goes, old mower done 300hrs with no problems, hopefully this can be repeated. My block has some slopes, this one is better doesn't get stuck where old one did, but did get stuck when I crossed a small drain at an angle? just took foot off leaned more weight to one side and away, other one went straight over must be longer wheel base caused this. This model has much sturdier steering, proper tie rod ends that bolt on not pressed, tick for Kubota, whole steering assembly is tougher than most others, is easy to turn also a great turning circle. The cut on mulch was better than I expected and around the house this was good as no grass spraying everywhere another tick, was easy to revert back to spray when doing long grass in paddocks 2ft parramatta grass would stop many mowers this baby cuts straight threw easy as, just slow down and let it cut and no clogging or stalling just powered thru :) so far very happy, these are super quick too 9klm an HR and man you notice it mowing time was way down, even my neighbour commented (he has Zero turn for speed) reckons it looks like I am going twice as fast across the yard so we will see after some more time, which is one thing I miss no hour meter? why not? should be standard, anyway probably get one fitted. The cut is a better but deck is arranged different old mower deck was angled so blades overlapped when going straight ahead, this infinity version has counter rotating blades and are mounted straight there was the odd tall bit of grass left after one cut didn't notice on lawn part where I mulched it looks great. Will review again after 50Hrs or so. everything, speed, cut, comfort, tough construction, easy access for maintenance suits my yard layout very happy. No hour meter?

Bought a Kubota as I thought thay were quality – Like others here I am dissapointed in the Kubota T2080 I purchased because I believed Kubota was a quaity product, Its abiity to mow the grass without going over it 2 or 3 times is disappointing. It has from day has left a strip between the blades, I have had it back twice and it is no different. Just chopped out the second drive belt and at $90… Read more

each it is a rip off. (appreciate anyone telling me where to by after market in Melbourne). Seriously thinking of selling on ebay and getting another Husqvarna much better mower for the price. Looks good and the height adjustment. Overpriced spares and poor mowing

Only just ok – We have had a T2080 now for 18 months. The machine has destroyed two horrendously expensive drive belts in no time. Looking for an aftermarket belt for the next time. When turning it leaves an uncut section in the middle,( very annoying ). This machine replaced an old dunger Cox which cut the grass much better but had other problems. Kohler engine… Read more

is v good. Lack of traction on hilly terrain a problem. - seems to be made a bit better than the cheapies. - good engine - comfortable - super expensive spares - not enough protection for the belts - super expensive spares - crap cut quality when turning - super expensive spares
