I have heard the Scag is an excellent mower. The dealer I bought the Bad Boy from is also Scag and Exmark dealer as well as a New Holand dealer. They spoke highly of the Scag.
My buddy has a Kubota Diesel and he loves it. But I figured for what the Kubota cost I could wear out two of the Bad Boys almost so I figured I might rather have another new one some time instead of keeping one so long. My buddy had hydrostat go out on his Kubota prematurely and I had read on some lawn care discussion boards there have been some short life problems with the mower deck gear drive train. So for me I decided not to go the extra cost. Kubota stuff are fine machines though.
