Hello TBN,
I just found this site a little while ago and I am enjoying reading up and learning more about tractors. I am gathering info in hopes to purchase a tractor in the near future. Locally we have a JD dealer, and CASE/IH - McCormick dealer. 1/2 hour away a Mahindra dealer. 30-40 mins a New Holland dealer. 1 hour away a Kubota dealer, and also a Kioti dealer.
In my area for farming it is either JD or IH. I do not personally see many CUT's but I know they are around. Most that I do see are kubotas( I guess thats because it's probably what most "regular" people are famliar with.)and some JD's
I have visited the Kioti dealer a couple of times and is very nice and helpful so far. I also am friends with the farmall/case/mccormick dealer. I have been on the case dx40 shuttle and really liked it. The same day he had a mccormick ct36 hst there and I tried it. Didn't care for it that much seemed cramped and didn't like the feel of the hst and whine of the hst on it. I know they are not the same tractor comparison(2 diff tractor frame sizes) but thats what was there. He ordered a dx45 hst and a ct46 hst for me to try also for comparison. For me I don't mind shuttle shift, but I need to decide on how much the wife may use the tractor. I also went and sat on the mahindras. Didn't like them. I don't like the FEL control mounted on/by the hood. Just seems as though your arm is streached out and not comfortable.
OK enough of the intro, back to the point of the thread I do not see much talk on the farmall/case tractors. I know they are pretty much NH tractors, so it helps me to find some info. So why not many CASE cut talk on here?
Also the McCormick cuts. I guess they are new. How new? On paper they seem very nice and I think price wise they will be more attractive also. I HAVE NOT TALKED PRICES ON ANY YET. But the case/mccormick dealer says the mccormick is the most value for your money tractor. Can anyone tell me more about the McCormick tractors, I cant find any info on them. Are they so new noone reallyknows about them yet? My problem is that I don't have a lot of tractor savy yet, so its so hard to compare tractors besides how they "fit" ergonomically. I can look at paper and compare, but that is not always the right way to compare things either. How do you compare tractors when standard and options are different for each??
Also can anyone shed lite on the McCormick line of cut's???
Thanks
