Comparison 1st time tractor buyer

[airbiscuit]

Yanmar made small John Deere tractors for decades, make excellent engines, and have an excellent reputation. Basically a peer to Kubota, only red with sexy gold wheels.

OK. I got a Kubota bx23s with a 54 inch mower delivered on 09/04/20. This tractor is great. I do not know why I hadn't gotten one years ago. Decision came down to having a dealer close by. Kubota was 15 minutes other dealers were anywhere from 40 minutes or more. The easy off/on loader and backhoe is just like they say EASY. Already have a few practice holes dug. Thanks for all the advice from everyone.
