Default Re: Buying dilemma

I'd go with the Deere because I know Deere isn't going away. The Kubota dealer isn't, either, but the Bobcat brand may not last. The others have dealers & brands that may/may not be around in the future.

If the Deere is comparable in features, build quality and price and the dealer gives good service, seems like a no-brainer to me. Deere has great parts availability, too.

One of my Customers just hired a landscaper who had a 4120 and it looked real comfortable running around the jobsite.
