Kubota are very popular with local govt shires here for light duty jobs such as mowing sporting ovals and road verges, maybe they get fleet discounts?

Most of the federal interstate mowers by large, are John Deere, next is a toss up between Kubota and Massey Ferguson, then a few sprinklings of New Holland ... I'm not positive, but it appears some are contactors, not state owned and operated ..
I'm a long distance truck driver and drive coast to coast, so I see a lot of them ... My local county road dept uses Massey Ferguson's with county employees, my Massey Ferguson dealer in in the center of the county seat ...

In MY area, New Hollands are the most popular for roadside mowing. It also seems like to me that NH is the lowest on many of the gubmit bids.
HJ75 you probably won't notice the difference with the soft ride/ loader suspension until you drive with and without back to back for an hour plus and you will notice the difference. Do a day on something like stacking big bales and it will be WOW, glad I got the soft ride.
