The deal with a kubota engine is, they put them in many different machines. It won't be teh same from a new holland to a thomas and both have kubota engines.
The thing about a skidsteer is, the newer ones (say 1985 and newer) have starter interlock systems with computer boxes that prevent hydraulic flow and ignition unless you are in teh seat, and the seat belt or safety bar is latched.
As for the Thomas skidsteers, I am not that familiar, but, I have fooled with them somewhat.
