I have a Kubota B1750 HST bought new in 1993. My 1750 is similar to the 8200, albeit a few years newer.
In the 20+ years that I have owned the 1750 it has needed absolutely NOTHING aside from lube oil and filters. NOTHING, not so much as a fuse, lamp or fan belt. It has, without doubt, been the most satisfying major purchase of my life.
That said, it is a CUT, not a farm tractor. It is NOT designed for plowing and there is no possible way that it will pull a 14" plow in ANYTHING with turf tires.
It might pull a single 12" plow with ag tires, properly ballasted and in IDEAL conditions. Even if it did, the hydro transmission is a convenience device not intended for tillage work and not well suited for such.
It will plow snow with a back or front blade but chains will be required if there is much snow and/or slopes.
I also have a stable full of vintage Fords, including 51 and 52 8Ns. The Ns will work circles around the Kubota. There is simply NO comparison for anything aside from mowing the lawn with a MMM and plowing snow, where the Kubota is better if (and only if) equipped with F and R chains.
Buy the Kubota if you want a very good and long lasting lawn tractor. Buy something larger if you want to plow and/or disc.

"Barry Seiler, owner of Country Town Farm Supply store used to invite people up to the Johne Deere store. He would give hats and a free meal for everyone that brings a tractor."
