Kubota won't give you anything, the Kubota dealer will give you less and in some cases far less then what you could sell it for yourself. The same is true of a John Deere dealer or in my case, one in the same since my dealer sells both. I don't necessarily think JD's are more costly. I was just checking them out and it's pretty close in terms of price. I think they have to be to stay competitve, there are just to many choices in a market that just is not that big. Trade in value for any tractor will be determined by the dealer and in some instances, the location in the country. Here in California, it's pretty much open with little regard to where a product is made, this may not hold true elsewhere in this country. Rat...
