Kubota, Bobcat, Cat, etc...

I just love my KX121 It is so smooth and really does nice work. I haven't ran any others to compare. I mostly saw Kubota's KX121 or 161 used for misc work at the refinery that I was employed and figured they must be well liked by the contractors that used them. Pricey but I have no regrets.

I believe the newer Yanmar, Gehl and Mustang minis are basically the same machines made by Yanmar all running the Yanmar engines - highly regarded. Takeuchi is another excellent choice.
