I like my little John Deere tractor for cutting grass. But a couple weeks ago I was looking into the Polaris Brutus. They have all kinds of attachments including a front mower deck. That peace of equipment did not compared to the Kubota. My wife would have liked to Simplicity of all the controls. It had hydrostatic transmission so you didn't have to shift to put it in forward or reverse, which was really nice. But the Kubota is built so much better.
