    Just my opinion ... my personal tractor experience is limited to 1, and that is a scut - Kubota BX23S, so nothing of the size that you are shopping for. I think Kubota is prime in the smaller tractors, under 50 hp. Likely good with the larger equipment, but I don't think they stand out in that...
