Deere vs Kubota

[David USMC]

Thanks to all of you that have responded to my posts. I am leaning towards a Kubota 2910. I took the seat..wasnt as comfortable as the Deere. I guess you have to compromise in this world. The noise level of the Kubota vs the Deere with a belly mower seems excessive. Anyone have some input. P.S.
A friend of mine has a 3010 and the seat is entirely different...more comfortable. Can this be retrofitted to the 2910..QQQ

Thought my 2710 w/ 72" belly was loud intially--definately get used to it. Might be some level of break-in, but not nearly as noticeable?? Also, seems less noisy the longer the grass. Wouldn't worry too much unless you really find it offensive. Incredible grass cutter--cut 8" like butter with no noticeable loading on the engine.

David, You say the Kubota is louder with the belly mower. How about without running the mower? Is one louder than the other? I didn't drive the Deeres, and really like my B2710, but I'll have to admit that my cousin's TC29 New Holland is quieter, and I do like that.
