When people are looking for a lawnmower or garden tractor, they should be open to the fact that there are many terms that are used that are effectively interchangeable and in many ways refer to the same range of products made by Kubota which will give them effectively a wider choice of which type of garden tractor or lawnmower is more appropriate for them.
Traditionally the term lawnmower has referred to a type of mower that is used by hand and which people pull or push while standing behind it. It is a product normally associated with relatively small areas of land that do not require a significant amount of physical effort and for which a ride on mower would be inappropriate.
A Kubota garden tractor is a term normally referring to a type of ride on mower or a small Kubota tractor that can be used on a larger residential or commercial setting for a wide variety of work-related tasks.
Often the most important thing is to be clear about the size and type of land or terrain that the lawnmower or garden tractor is to be used on, and the type of work that it is to be used for. A Kubota garden tractor can be used for mowing a lawn, but can also be used for a wide privacy of significant types of work, covering areas of estate management, like stock maintenance, speciality farming, grounds maintenance and material handling.
Often some of these tasks will require certain implements or attachments to be fitted to a Kubota garden tractor. For this reason it is important to be clear about the type of work that you want the tractor to perform, because if you need a specific implement or attachment you need to be sure that it can be fitted safely to the garden tractor prior to use.

Kubota garden tractors are obviously more expensive and a longer term investment than a relatively straightforward lawnmower. There are a number of important maintenance and engineering processes that need to be considered in terms of choice between a Lawnmower and a Kubota garden tractor.
A Kubota garden tractor will to an extent be seasonal, although some of the tractors can also be used as a snow blower and can double in effectiveness if the removal of snow is a major issue on the land where you live. This again is an important consideration when purchasing a Kubota garden tractor, as it can be adapted for this purpose if appropriate, but this depends on the type of tractor you buy in the first place.
A Kubota garden tractor is not a lawnmower, but can perform the same tasks and much more, if it is appropriate for your circumstances.
