This is such a difficult subject. We could get in a big "My Dad is better than Your Dad" discussion, but my question would be, are you seriously looking for a Tractor? IF you are, I would highly recommend you call BOTH of your local Dealers, have them bring out the Tractors AT THE SAME TIME and OPERATE THEM! We can debate this 'til the Cows come home, and you still might buy the wrong Tractor FOR YOU.
I do understand that price can be an issue for a lot of folks-that leaves out so many other factors-resale value, service, parts availability, warranty, availability of attachments, intangibles such pride of ownership, how it makes you feel when you look at it, etc,etc.
This is a Toyota vs. a Chevy type of debate-no winners, no losers-it all comes down to perception, and, every one has one-just ask them! IF I were going to compare, I would get the COMPLETE Specifications of BOTH Tractors, SIT DOWN AND LOOK AT THEM, UNDERSTANDING WHAT IS IMPORTANT To me-if my intended usage was 80% Loader work, I would be interested in Hydraulic capability, Loader lift capacity, loader lift height, tipping load and so on. If I were doing a lot of PTO work, I would look at the Weight of the Tractor and the Horsepower difference between the Engine and the PTO, which would tell me how well the Tractor was engineered.
There are SO many ways to compare Tractors-it really depends on what tasks you would like to do-I ask my Customer's to sit down and think about what they will do the most, if possible guess the usage in percentage and let's tailor a machine to fit your needs. No one makes the best everything-
