John,
One more thing I wanted to add.
While shopping for the Deere 2320 I liked the features on the Kubota 2320 as well.
The Kubota has a very small bucket sized exactly for the machine. Also, I found the Kubota to have an intolerable vibration that I felt throught the steering column and on the floor. The dealer agreed and told me that they cannot eliminate the vibration and there was nothing wrong with the unit. I don't think Kubota isolates the engine or spends as much on the mounts as JD does.
I eliminated the Kubota for that reason. The deere product in this size is far smoother and more refined.
Good luck,
GJS
