I have had two other Kubota's prior to this one and I could not be more disappointed. I added the grass catcher attachment and it is darn near worthless. If the grass is the tiniest bit moist or long, it all gets stuck and you have to disassemble the catcher, clean it all out and do it all again in a few minutes. It also leaves a trail of the cut grass behind it. After only 40 hours of use and I am ready to throw in the towel on this one. Looks like I will be heading to John Deere.
