Better to ask this question in the Deere forum. That is where you will find all the Deere exerts. I just like the looks of them and their reliability is second to none. Seems that the Deere buyers are also a lot happier with their dealer network than the Kubota owners. Might just be a perceived situation. I haven't done the statistical analysis of satisfaction. Good luck on what ever you purchase. Buying a tractor is a major expense and you should cover all of your bases and educate yourself about all the options and choices. In each forum, you will get brand loyalty, but until you park your body in the seat of the tractor, all that opinion won't matter if you are not comfortable behind the wheel. Buying a tractor is like a marriage. Pick the right on the first time and you will always be happy. Pick the wrong one, and you will soon want to be trading in and getting another. This can be costly in both marriage and tractors. Ride it for a while and see how it feels. If you like the feel of the tractor, then negotiate the best price you can with the dealer that you feel will appreciate your business most and will be there to support you in the event of problems. When you buy a tractor, you are committed to the brand and the dealer support network. This is important to remember. You don't want to be driving long distances to purchase parts or service usually. Try to buy locally where ever possible.
