Last weekend, I screwed up the starter on my Cub Cadet trying to start it while I had a trickle charger hooked up to it. Needed to mow my acre and rain was approaching from the south. Jumped on the Kubota with the MMM and mowed all but the areas that needed trimming. Both have a 54" cut, but the tractor did a better job, and didn't take any longer than the Cub. The power steering left me less tired than the armstrong steering on the Cub. The turf tires tracked up the fescue less that the mower that was 1/3 the weight. I think it may take a while to get the Cub repaired.
