Yeah,  I suggest that you look for a KUBOTA dealer.  Look at every inch of
the machine that seems to fit your application . . check warranty . . check
financing and discounts.  Only then, look at the competition and compare
VALUE.   I'd be amazed if Deere even makes DEERE much less Scotts.  The
Kubota will give you a standard of comparison . . . if you find a better
VALUE, buy it but IMHO, KUBOTA is the class act.
