I have had mine for 2 seasons mowing about 2.5 acres once per week. I put on my noise canceling headphones, crank the tunes and go. I am totally happy after 3 John deere mowers. Each new JD was twice as expensive as the last one and lasted about half as long. The last one was total junk for 3,500.
When I bought my tractor about 6 years ago I looked at both Kubota and JD. I settled for a used B7300 with FEL. It has worked flawlessly and I traded it in on a new B2920 with FEL and Commercial Snowblower. I am very satisfied with Kubota quality and local support. Our local dealer is first class and is willing to deal on price.
Enjoy.
