I can tell you that prices even, I'd go with the Kubota. It has some nicer features, as long as you don't get a jerky 3ph. But, the big question is, how much are those features worth to YOU and should they make the cost difference up. I've never taken the FEL off any of my tractors, so the removable FEL on the 3800 isn't a big deal to me, but you may want to frequently. I'd go and test drive the machine and see which is worth more of you money, or more bang for your buck. In terms of performance, they will be relatively equal.
