I can only comment on my situation. I looked at green, but thought it was pretty expensive. I did like the 1025r and some of the features like the auto connect deck. But in the end thought that I would probably only remove my deck for winter use so the extra cost didn't add up in my mind. I wanted to see the mulching deck but didn't get a chance. Plus when I wanted to demo the tractor the dealer said why… its a deer what more do I have to say and didn't let me demo it. For me, buying a new tractor is not pocket change, so they were done. I looked at the MF brand and really liked the dealer, but what got me there is that I wanted a mowing deck that had a mulch kit and when I demoed the tractor it didn't cut so well. There were not kioti or mahindra dealers near me.
So that left me with Kubota. For some reason, and I'm not 100% sure why, but I didn't want a Kubota. My wife said at least lets give them a shot. Fair enough. I went to the dealer and was helped by the owner. No pressure sales, He brought a tractor configured with what I wanted (2670 54mmm with mulch kit, FEL) to my house to try out. Just left it there and said let me know what I thought. Out of the ones I tried the Kubota had the best cut. Out of the ones I looked at Kubota had the best price. And out of dealers I tried Kubota was the best. So even though I didn't want a Kubota at the time it made sense for me.
As a side note 3 days later I upon delivery of my tractor I notice a bit of oil under the front left side tire. The dealer (which is 45 min away) came and picked it up right away. Apparently there was a washer missing from the factory. I also notice that where they put the FEL on there was a bit of paint missing. They sent a repair person out 2 days later and painted the frame where the FEL is attached.
After looking I think that there are a lot of good tractors out there. However, I am not sure there are a lot of good dealers out there. Sooner or later your going to need service.
My advice, which has already been given…….. GET A DEMO AT YOUR PLACE. You'll find out a lot about the tractor and probably even more about the dealer.
Good luck
