Ok, this tractor shopping is driving me nuts! This not so much about one brand being better than the other, however it is about two brands that I have narrowed down to. This is my first tractor, so I don't have any real experience with different brands.
I am looking at a couple of used Kubota's and a new LS. Both are about the same as far as specs, FEL, 30 horse, same gears and so on.
All the tractors will do what I want to do, so here's the question. Now, is a Kubota, with 250 to 300 hours, from 4 to 5 years old, no warranty, better than a brand new LS Tractor with a 5 year warranty? All three of the these are almost the same price. I usually am a advocate of only buying used vehicles at a cheaper than new price. In this situation the prices are the same. (This will be a cash deal)
I have no brand preference, not hung up on green, orange or blue, just want to make the best decision on the deal. I know that comparing a new Kubota to a new LS would be a different issue and the price of a new Kubota would rule me out due to budget alone.
Hope I'm not rehashing an old subject. I went all through the board to find something but didn't see anything.
Thanks for any help.
