I've been analyzing, researching, and trying various tractors. Rumour has it that John Deere is working feavorishly to come up with a better hydrostatic drive. If your going hydro, (HST) consider this in your decision. The John Deere HST is much noisier and far less smooth then the Kubota, in fact, there is no comparison. Hopefully they will come up with a great new HST. Unlike a few folks, most of us won't be going out to exchange our tractors when another manufactuer comes out with something better, for this reason, making the right decision is so important to us. My purchase will have to take me well past another manufactuers improvement on whatever model I decide on. Like most people with some common sense, I want to know what all the options are before I purchase, and for the most part, that means looking at most manufactuers products. When I look at tractors, I'm not color blind, but I am most certainly open to all makes. Rat...
