New Holland less \"Brand\" vs Kub or JD?
Dave4410's comment that we weren't a chatty group got me thinking.
Anecdotal evidence seems to indicate that New Holland has less brand recognition than Deere or Kubota. For example, seems whenever I'm talking with a non-tractor person and my tractor enters converstion - almost no one has heard of New Holland. If I say it's like a Kubota more will recognize it. Everybody seems to know John Deere.
I've also noticed that the New Holland owners on tbn seem to be less brand loyal. Ie - I don't hear "NH Is best" as much as I hear "XX is best".
Coincidence - I think not.
