Consensus on here is that the Kubota is the better engine.

How do you figure the 25 kubota is 200lbs lighter than the dihatsu? I have two dihatsu machines and they are great! As far a kubota being better it to me is very debatable! at nearly 2000hrs of flawless running!

The Toro groundsmaster 7210 has either a Kubota 28hp or 35hp(turbo)diesel powering a 60" or 72" deck. Looks to be an awesome machine. I've got 3 Kubota 28hp diesels in Steiners and they use .75gph or less consistently.............Lynn

I never even looked into the 7210 series mower? didn';t even think something like that was an option may be a little expensive???
