  I drive a 20 year old Kubota B-Series compact tractor at work. It's VERY reliable, starting well in cold weather, pulling heavy loads with confidence, and is the only tractor on the nursery that can be started and driven away after being rolled!

  To be honest just from driving this tractor I would recommend Kubota machines!

  We used to use the pedestrian kubotas (with Rollers) when I worked at Kew Gardens around 14 years ago.
  
  From what I remember they were liked although they haven't been made for over 10 years I guess. Perhaps they are relaunching?

  Yes they must be relaunching !! Honda engine too, lets see what happens as I said they emphasise large rear outlet for wet collection, maybe the first pro roller mower too collect in wet conditions ??

  They are for sale, but at Honda prices.

  Not sure about reliability, but my usual, boring mantra applies. If your nearest, most reliable repairer doesn't keep a full range of spares then it's not a machine you want.

  First I've heard of them.
  I've run Kubota riders for a few years now and like them.
  These look suspiciously like rebadged Hondas???

  That is definitely a Honda. Kubota used to do a 19 inch roller but people complained of drive problems. Honda may be willing to license clones as the roller market is so small.
  
  There isn't a way to make a roller collect well unless you put the roller behind the box. I have toyed with the idea of putting a striping roller onto a 19 inch Etesia but there are lots of potential problems.

  I meant to post this ages ago - they are rebadged Kaaz machines ie. same as Lawnflite, Danarm etc.

  Yeah they look really good machines,almost bought one last month but got put off by the lack of places for spare parts,ended up buying a ride on instead,majority of my customers aren't bothered too much by stripes on their big lawns so decided to give my legs a rest

  Can anyone update on the Kubota 21in Roller Mower?

  Are they are good in the wet, what's the walking speed like.

  I think this was talked about a while ago but can't find the thread...

  There's a thread in the premium section on it.
