    New Kubota KX080-5 vs. New Takeuchi 290

    Paper specs are pretty close except for a 5+ gpm difference between the two at the aux port (26.4 for the Kubota v 31.7 for the Takeuchi). Is that a significant difference? Both are 10 ton machines with similar hp. My private use on a 100 acre property will involve mostly brush mowing ponds...
