Was just watching the video and thought it had a lot of characteristics of my Yanmar then found this link on ITL who makes the Summit... I wouldn't be afraid to buy one of these. They have a lot of great features.

The issue (like Rural King) and their service after the sale will be just that. In reality all they are is a rebadged something else.

It will be interesting to see if independent dealers pop up. The way they are describing "service dealers", it seems that they are setting up a network. If they go the box store route, well, that's going to change a lot.

You can always adjust the bucket level, the mechanical auto level just maintains whatever angle you establish with your bucket curl.

Standard 3rd function and remote, but only 2 speed hydro?

Yeah, I could never do a two speed hydro.

No speed hydro for me. Hydrostats don't work in my applications.

Watch and learn...sooner or later there is going to be some consolidation...it happens with everything especially when the market is flooded...

The only thing the owner of lessor brand machines can hope for is parts availability...
Big fish will always eat smaller fish...companies like Deere and K_ubota are licking their chops...either one can buyout competition just to remove them from the market...

Always been my contention that the more 'manufacturers' there are and this isn't a manufacturer, just another importer, the smaller the pie slice gets and when the slice gets too small, the small fish fold. Kind of reminds me of the 'Cabelas' tractor deal and to a lesser extent the RK deal.

I'll stick with an established brand with many dealers myself. Don't need an 'orphan' tractor to deal with.
