Loved my GR2120, but my BX is just so useful.

Good choice!

The T and G series are lawn/garden tractors.....the BX is a sub-compact tractor. It all depends on how much money you want to spend, and the ability to add-on attachments/implements in the future...can't do that with the T or the G series as they're more of a "lawnmower". The BX is the very base entry level to the tractor world. The cost of a T or G series really pushed me to just buy the BX2680....Couldn't see paying what the T and G series costs to just get a riding lawn mower. So much more versatility in the BX series, adding a loader, mid mount mower, tiller, etc....
Neither the lawn/garden tractor or the sub-compact tractor is going to be all that quick mowing....if you want to mow a large area, go with a zero turn LOL. Eventually that's what I'll do but this year has been pretty tight financially....so I use the BX2680 with a 60" mid mount mower to mow my 3/4 of an acre. Most of which is wide open pasture.....so a zero turn definitely would be better in my case.
One thing to keep in mind too before you buy....if you are even thinking of future attachments....the T and G series are not what you want....a BX or even the B series tractors would be the way to go...if you have property, get a zero turn, and a BX or B series tractor...yes, 2 separate machines, but you'll thank yourself later. Having a dedicated mower is a much better route to go, unless you don't mind taking the deck on and off all the time, or if you have enough space to park the tractor with the deck on....although the deck isn't too hard to install/remove, it is added time when you want to mow....this is my issue, where I keep my tractor I can't fit it into the shop with the deck installed, so every time I want to mow my lawn, I have to install the mower deck....then remove it when I'm done. Plus you really don't want the deck installed when you are doing loader work, or any 3 point hitch type work as the deck raises and lowers with the 3 point, if you don't have the deck locked in the TOP position....as well as if you have a 3 point implement installed every time you lower the deck the 3 point implement goes down too LOL....kind of some trade offs with buying a tractor to mow with.

That's only if you can afford both a Tractor and a zero turn.. that's a luxury most can't justify
If you can do everything you need done with 1 purchase its much more economical

It is great cutting grass with a zero turn, just depends on what the customers needs are, Thanks for watching & commenting

[@yeowzaa007]

Kubota treadle pedal is a hard no for me

[@garyharper2943]

Zero turn commercial mower is what you want if you’re cutting a lot of grass. Mowers are slow compact tractors slower still.

[@hugostiglitz8465]

Possibly, you need to consider the terrain too. If you have steep to mow you're better off with tractor. I'd hate to see a novice on a zero turn mowing hills.

@@hugostiglitz8465 when I first got a zero turn had trouble backing out of shop, there’s definitely a learning curve.

[@michellatour150]

Zero turn may be better suited if that's all you do but it's a one trick pony versus a tractor.
