The owner walks through why he ruled out subcompacts and 25-hp compacts before landing here, then ticks through specific features he values, three-range sub-transmission, twin brake pedals, cruise control, HST pedal layout, 43-inch rear tires, and electric PTO placement, comparing each directly to John Deere and Kubota equivalents.
