If you're going to use it mainly for mowing pastures though you should be fine with a mechanical shuttle.
Hmmm, shouldn't this thread be in 'Kubota Owning/Operating'?

Not really. It's more a mechanical shuttle v. hydraulic shuttle question. Any mech shuttle owners of any brand utility similar in size could help out in the thread.
