I'm ready to upgrade from my Kubota L38 40hp tractor to a 50-60 hp model, not totally loyal to Kubota, have checked out JD, and went to a Case dealer yesterday. Dealer was located right on an old farm out in the boonies, much different from the facny Kubota dealer castle! I must admit I liked the Case, looked at a farmall 45, w/cab, liked the stoutness of the tractor, the cab was imo the best out of the 3, the loader looked pretty hd. Just wondering if any one has recent expierience with a farmall compact 50 60hp model, don't know much about them but was impressed. Will be getting a quote from the dealer soon, see how they compare to JD and Kubota. Thanks for any info!
