Howdy,
I am a new Kubota owner and found my way to 4Shorts youtube channel which led me to here!:thumbsup: My wife and I are developing a homestead on an acre and a quarter but the goal is, as close to off grid as possible and totally self-sustaining/self-sufficient. Looking forward to becoming a safe novice with a tractor! Thanks for letting me in....I'll be taking lots of notes!!

Others have taken notes too. And what they noted is that on the same day you posted the above you also said:
"I am new to this and exploring the market for a tractor. I had intended to go with Kyoti but I am now reconsidering. I can not find a dealer in NH or in Massachusetts!!! I see dealers falling by the side as I read other sites. Are they tanking already?! Maybe I should just go Kubota or John Deere? Perhaps Kyoti is a flash in the pan....."
- So which is it, are you "a new Kubota owner" or "exploring the market"?
Good luck with your off the grid, self-sustaining self-sufficient 1-1/4 acre homestead!

Well thanks for noticing 'Colby', and callin me out so I have to explain myself and justify my comment. To answer your challenge, when I posted that introduction, my wife and I had put in an offer on a unoccupied home of which the current owner had left the Kubota in the garage. We were told the tractor went with the home. It seems, the owner has a different position so to answer you challenge directly, because we now find the tractor does NOT go with the property, we are in the market and one of the tractors I looked at is Kyoti. In the end I will likely wander over to John Deere after watching some side by side comparisons of John Deere v. Kubota and, as you so astutely noted in the OTHER forum, I am not encouraged by kyoti. I hope that satisfies your curiosity. Please 'take note' of that in the event there are any other sherlock holmes questioning how many tractors I may or may not have. Ya never know, FEDS could be monitoring the tractor websites to make sure no one owns more than one tractor! Good to know you're watchin out!!

Ok, fair enough. This being the internet I have no reason to doubt what you say ( or for that matter, believe what you say- no offense, don't take that personally).
It was on the other Kioti forum that you posted on where you were putting down / explaining why you'd never buy one, that's where your sincerity was being doubted. Just saying.
This is generally a friendly website, with good advice and a lot of experience. But with 2 exceptions;
1) the "friendly politics" section ( it's not), and
2) if you appear to insult someone's choice of tractor.

He ain't the only one watching out....

Now let's get away from this not so good start and go back to talking about tractors... in a cordial way.
