The Kubota is awesome, but i have found one major flaw that you need to be aware of........

The air filter box is neetly located in the upper right corner, high and dry.......but.........the air inlet tube is routed to the left side, and down below the condensers.

IF YOU GET INTO ANY SITUATION WHERE THE LOWER RIGHT SIDE (LOOKING FROM THE REAR) IS BELOW WATER (JUST ABOVE THE TRACK) IT WILL SUCK WATER INTO THE ENGINE!!!!!!

As you can imagine, this is not a good thing at all. Be careful. After an expensive repair bill, i am making a snorkle kit for mine.
