This thread is offensive to me too.... LOL.. just kidding...
Go to a Kubota dealer, ride all of them for as long as you like, right there on the lot.
Finance at zero % for three years, make interest on your money.
You can get into a B series and a mower for 15K or less. The dealers have room for dickering (where I saved myself $500). Take a tralier, bring one of them home.
I like my turf tires a lot. I bought with the R4s (the mid-tread aggression, which I think is the R4) and they were too aggressive for my preferences. The stealer traded me straight even. I am pleased with the turfs, even while operating the loader.
One thing to consider if you so choose to finance... get all that you want now, and finance it all at zero. Loader, blade, valve controls, etc... even a trailer if the dealer has them (which this local dealer did indeed make their own and offered to throw it in on the finance deal). I had a tandem axle utility that serves me just right.
Please don't take offense to this post... I am partial to Kubotas, even after years of Deeres.
