Can't comment on the model you're looking at but mine feels like it will be at work longer than I will! /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif
The fit and finish are at least as good as any other brand I've seen and same goes for the design/engineering. How a brand fits you and tickles your fancy (we're all different that way -- no two spouses are exactly alike!)(thank God!) counts for alot. Try to drive all of the different brands/models that might fit your needs and go with what you like. Try out dealers the same way. Let us know what you decide.
P.S., yes, I'd buy Kubota again, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend that brand.
