Good luck, your in the same postion that i was about 6 weeks ago. Spend a lot of time reading the forums about the different brands, i think that really paid off for me. I may have been looking for a little bit larger tractor than you are, but i decided to go with the FarmTrac 300dtc. From what i read it was a bit heavier than the Kubota i was looking at, had the hydrolic outputs already set up off the rear of the machine, and I was able to get it at a better price. I liked the setup on the Kiotis, but the price was a bit higher and the dealer was a long way off. The FT/Montana dealer that i went with is on 15 miles away. I dont know if the deal is still available, but I ended up saving 1300 by prepaying and having the tractor sent in. Ended up giving 14500 for the tractor with the FEL. That might be something that others offer, im not sure.
Only issue that I had with my machine was the welds, but thats primarily due to the fact that I am a welding inspector, and i am pretty picky. They are fine for non pressure containment welds.
