PM babyfat he will know everything about them... he sells em wink wink

we dont baby this machine at all (The ZD28) and it is a work horse!!!! even the thickest grass this sucker cuts it right up!! we have a JohnDeere 455 liquid cooled diesel and its a POS. the Kubotas are a little higher for price but resale is a BONUS!!! these are excellently built machines!! we have the pro heavy dudy deck and its a brute! the front wheels pivit to alow access to the deck and the deck comes off with a couple pins if you ever choose to do so.

The only downside to a zero turn is if you get anywhere near mud STOP! because once one tire spins your up a creek w/o a paddle!!

JD and others are good companies but all seem to be built cheap and are just known for the name. Grasshopper offers a KUBOTA DIESEL in there mowers so that goes to show ya how well these motors run!!

hope this helps!
Ian

Scarecrow,

The New Holland is a TS 110. Its a awesome tractor. Its our Silage Chopping tractor. Gotta love that A/C. I also have a Ford 8700 its a total puller. And you couldn't pay me to own John Deere other than a Combine, or Construction Equipment.

haha it will just sit there and spin, I think the top speed is 8-10mph so it doesnt fling the mud too quickly, I usually have to hook it to the trailer which is hooked to the truck to pull it out.

I've run alotta tractors thru the years, all have their good points (some just have more than others). John Deere for row crop tractors and CAT for the big boys.
