As RDJ2516 said, Why not try them all. Kubota, Deere, MF... One other SCUT that frequently gets overlooked is Yanmar, they used to produce most of the CUT's for Deere, and still make a couple models for them. Top quality and since they have split their marketing agreement with Cub Cadet, I think they have some aggressive pricing. You might want to avoid the NH SCUT's as NH has switched tractor manufacturers and I'd wait until the dust settles around NH before I would consider them.
