While I can't speak to that exact model I have found Kubota's numbers to be conservative when it come to lift capacities and such.
It appears that you feel it is a toss-up between the 2 machines. If that is the case then you might want to talk to a couple of owners of the 2 brands and ask them how they feel about the dealers. As stated by so many on this forum the dealer is as important, if not more so, than the brand of tractor.
Any brand can have problems, it is how those problems are handled by the dealer that counts. As far as the manufacturer goes I expect my dealer to insulate me from any problems with the manufacturer, that is what I pay him for. If the factory can't or won't do somthing that is his problem, not mine. I bought the tractor from him, not the factory.
