Certain brands are more, let's say, well known than others. Obviously JD and Kubota are probably the most popular, and are always going to be available. My ??? is, in twenty years, is it going to be hard to find parts and service for the tractors that aren't as popular. I'm not talking about the companies being out of business, I'm saying, what if I buy model 'xx' and it is discontinued in five years? Then what?
To be more specific, I have a JD dealer five min. away, a Case IH/Cub Cadet dealer five min. away, and a Kubota dealer 20 min. away. I know Case has a good machine, but they aren't selling as many units as the other guys. I worry that if I would buy the Case, I might have to deal with parts availability trouble in the future.
Any thoughts guys?
I'm looking at units in the (+-)30hp range (jd4310/kubota l3130/case dx33)
