Dealership first, best product for my operation second, price third, parts fourth.
It is as simple as that.

Not having bought a"new" tractor, but:
1. ergonomics
2. durability (toughness)
3. reliability
4. dealer / warranty
5. maintenance ease
I have a Kubota L4310 HST bought slightly used (240 hrs.)

I am surprised you guys rate the dealer so low on your list.

I'll agree with the others but for me comfort/ergonomics was in the top two. Being that I'm only 5'5" with a long torso short legs finding the right tractor was important. If your gonna be on it for hours it better be a good fit.

Dealer was high on my list when I bought my 2310. I wanted a dealer that has been there for a long time and looks to be there for a long time to come. I have ridden mine to my dealer since he is only 1 1/2 mi. down the road which is nice also.
