I've never looked at a mid mount Grasshopper, (mid mounts won't work for what I need) but if you are comparing the "tank" Cub to the front mount diesel or gas Grasshopper, I have to strongly disagree with you. Perhaps the stats are much different on the mid mounts, but your figures are way off for the front mount Grasshoppers I own. Right off the bat, my Grasshopper came with an 8 gallon fuel tank, holds 2 gallons of hydro fluid, had larger wheel motors, and the deck is every bit as strong as any of the mid mounts I drove.
I did look at the "tank" along with the JD, Kubota, Exmark, and Ferris, and it looked very similar to all of them. Each had their own particular "advantage" over the others. All seemed rather well built and I think someone would have have to abuse any of them as far as I'm concerned to break them.
