The brake on the left side was one of the determining factors for me between green and orange. I live on the side of a hill (pretty steep in parts), and I like being able to rest my foot on the brake pedal ready to press immediately while going down the hill and pressing the fwd hydro pedal. I had a few adventures with my old rider mowing this hill, so I may be a little paranoid, but I feel like I have more control this way. I also liked the reverse pedal setup on the Deere versus the Kubota. This is probably not an issue if you are working flat land. It took no time at all to get used to braking with the left foot. It took longer to get used to the PTO being on the left instead of right.
