Wow, it's finally here. The debate has gotten down to looks. I have thought about starting this very debate for some time now, but feared the reprisals. I work in the automotive styling business and the way a product looks is ingrained into my psyche'. I too, am shopping and have looked at all the major brands. I like the New Holland for looks, features, and quality. I like the John Deere for looks and features. This brings me to Kubota. I have done all the research and I believe that Kubota has the edge in technology, features, repair history, and value. That being said. I'll finish with this.
