I'm curious, regarding fit and finish, what about it seems so much better in the Kubota? I'm around a L5240 all the time, next to my 1652, and I find them very comparable in fit and finish. However, Kubota does a better job insulating their cabs (noise).Never operated a 1758 but did look one over recently.Compared to my L4240(Both were cabbed models) the MF seemed smaller all around and the fit and finish to me anyway; was less than Kubota's.I must say the owner is very happy with it.
Also strange to hear you say it feels smaller... Again, mine is often directly next to my buddies L5240 and even though we can pick and choose which items feel more robust on either machine (tit-for-tat) they are nearly identical in size and I certainly wouldn't say either one feels smaller than the other.
