Statistics on equipment manufacturers ratings by dealers.

[Complete Turf Care]

I found this survey today. It shows how most equipment manufacturers are rated by their dealers. Lots of good information if you are looking to purchase equipment. You can see how each manufacturer compares to the average of all manufacturers and in lots of different categories.

Good info and about what I expected, the only surprise being JD - of course they put out a lot of machines and lines, but so does Kubota.

Maybe JD being more commercial/farmer get used harder?

I guess it's time to look harder at Kubota and maybe a new Vermeer baler, too!!

Thanks, that's some good information.

Very telling current survey with large sample size. Puts hard numbers behind what we read as specifics on TBN. Great thread title... how do we make it a "sticky" thread?

Great information and really backs up what I felt like was actually happening in the tractor world

I was surprised McCormick consistently scored so low.

Hustler came out pretty well in the survey which backs up the research I did about 3 years ago.
