Do you guys really believe one brand (perhaps your brand) has it all figured out and most/all of the others don't? Come on….really?
I have owned operated like 20 brands and nearly all had mechanical failures or disappointments.
I found Deere to have a lower rate of failure and disappointment than Kubota in MY experience. However, I am certain there are plenty of people who have has the opposite experience.
Like when I talk about a Ram/Cummins truck versus a Ford/Powerstroke truck. I like the Ram because the Cummins is an in-line 6 cylinder and prefer the way it pulls. It’s not really so much “better” as it is “better for my taste”. I also like that the warranty at the time was longer and the GCWR at the time was higher.
I know both trucks, on average are about 98% similar given same options and purchase price.
