I am new to the forum but not tractor world. My last tractor was a 1983 CASE 4_88 or something but a complete deathtrap. So I sold it at auction. The brakes were unsafe, not a 4 WD, and totally unstable on the hillside we live on. I am now looking for another tractor to work around our acreage. So far I am looking into Kubotas since my neighbors own them and are very happy with their service. Hope there's many of yous guys can help.
