Very Disappointed in this mower – I also have had a T2380 for about 4 years and it has to be the most useless , costly mower I have ever had ( and have had quite a few) As mentioned in another post it leaves a grass strip, it doesn't mulch very well. It is extremely costly on consumables ie blades & belts. When mulching hard grass the blades wear out very quickly , they loose the… Read more
"wing" which creates the down draught airflow so it stops mulching properly.You can not change the main drive belt ( engine - trans) without dropping the steering rack out. if you are changing one it pays to fit a spare and cable tie it up & out of the way because you will need it soon anyway and its a real pain the change. They aren't the "cheap" option mower and you expect a little better from Kubota, it's a very disappointing mower and I tell a lot of people about it.
Not much chop – I have a 2015 T2380 and as others have said it leaves a strip of any type of grass long short Ky or dry. I sharpen the blades and the underside is clean but this makes no difference. It has done more belts than I've had hot dinners and now they are $90- each. It has done two pulleys also and this week I need to order one pulley and two belts. It… Read more
has plenty of power for towing a small trailer and the drive seems Ok. The deck is like one of my older John Deere's and collects rust. Although it sometimes sits outside and I don't have time to clean it as it is quite difficult to get at all areas. I think two areas of improvement would be cost of parts and resolving the belt longevity it really is a problem, Then It would be not too bad. Thanks Pete.
A big disappointment and sold as quality – This is the third rideon of this model i have owned. The first two were great how ever the one i have now is dreadful. While under warranty it has blown two head gaskets,had the carburetor replaced and still severely backfires when turning the motor off after doing a couple of hours mowing. Show details
Worst mower ever – This mower has been nothing but a headache from day 1. Cut is uneven and constant part replacement and repair work necessary. What a disappointment. Have always bought Kubota mowers and never will buy another, nor will I ever recommend one. Pulleys need constant replacement. Just JUNK. Repair/Replacement parts are expensive. Had in dealer for repair 3 times in first season. Show details
heap of junk – i thaught i had a quality unit but i was wrong i will go to a different brand next time 100 hrs new belt pulleys on deck cost $500 dollars now the drive is stuffed its only done 200 hrs now i will never buy this brand again it has been serviced on time and has only been used by me not a very good product Show details
Bitterly disappointed. Totally rubbish cutting deck – Parts used within 50hours of use: 2 x tensioner pulleys 4 x deck belts 2 x deck drive belts 2 x drive belts Cutting deck required straightening after 15 hours. Won't cut grass. Flattens it rather than cutting it. Leaves a strip between blades. Low engine power. Been to dealer 3 times. This is without question the worst purchase I have ever made. Signed Totally Disappointed with my mower Show details
KUBOTA T2380-A.Well Built Tractor Mowet! – Kubota T2380A-48 Tractor Mower chosen over prior major brands. This unit built better. Much easier to use to go forward and back to mow in tight space and there is red blinking light to let.you know it is bidirectional mode. Product advertised as 23hp Kohler motor. Delivered unit just built this morning had label with 22hp Kohler?? Why… Read more
tractor mower? I have lawnmower trailer attached to tractor mower's trailer bracket loop hole to attach small trailer to pick up fallen broken tree branches off mow areas. This saves wear and tear on the blades.
Prior brand 54" ride tractor mower, spindles replaced 3 times.. The new delivered unit (unused), had bent spindle.. New replacement belt kept coming off after install..
will replace with another – had a 2380 mower at a school 5 days a week never gave me any trouble great on all types of ground great ride change one drive belt in 2 years very good on fuel easy to mow around buildings starts first time ever time no problems on slope ground Show details
Utter rubbish for Kubota – To reduce wear and warranty risks , this unit only drives ONE rear wheel ! Traction was hopeless . The infinity deck can only cope with short grass since it's actually a mulching design . Kohler SV23hp range engine was a disaster . Knocked under load . I had unrelated blocked carby problem due to Dealer not flushing alco-fuel out of system and… Read more
not using a petrol
additive as expected . The PTO safty switch was faulty and engine cut
out . Dealer didn't fix this either ! I ditched at 22 hours on another
Kubota Dealer , for a BX2360MMM : a real machine ! Was informed by
this Dealer that Kubota wouldn't pay for rectification of what they
considered was T2380 dealer fault . Isn't that wonderful . Lies all around.
Carby packed in on next buyer at 48 hours . Was replaced at Dealer's expense ! Seat/operator floor suspension excellent : shocks too . Rubbish and cheap engine , poor deck design ; can't mulch and throw in one design ! ONE wheel drive !
T2380 - Expensive, Over-rated belt-chewer!! – Moved to 5 acres and bought my first ride-on, a Kubota T2380, because of reputation and smooth talking salesman at Dural near Sydney. My father-in-law said it sounded wrong from day 1 - should have listened. Threw mower deck belt 3 times in 6 months and drive belt twice. Drive belt damaged after 9 months and replaced by the people that sold it to… Read more
me - they claimed it wasn't a warranty issue. Still throwing belts and finally chewed 2nd drive belt one month after warranty expired. Dealers said "out of warranty" but only charged parts because service in warranty should have picked up problem. They said pulleys needed replacing and said I must have been misusing!! I only have grass, no bush, so can't see how that is possible. Hundreds of dollars later, supposedly repaired, and it chewed another drive belt after only second time out. Service people don't want to know about it now because repair was start of winter and destroyed belt was start of spring so 3 months warranty on repair has expired even though only 5 hours of mowing since repair.
So, rubbish machine and rubbish after sales service. I won't touch a Kubota ever again. If Kubota was once a reputable brand, those days are well gone. Comfortable when running Runs roughly, throws belt and destroys them,
Just an update on my review - I have since had further contact with the Service people at Hills… Read more
