John Deere fans, so many?

Me thinks this thread unraveled.

Yeah, its over....

Actually.. past experience has show that your profile is not sufficient info in many cases. Lots of times geographical location and property size are taken into account during tractor and equipment discussions.



Uh.. I never asked you to look at my profile?

Why are you so rude?

soundguy

You're right soundguy I was a bit rude. sorry about that.

My profile is sufficient unless I'm asking someone's advice about what kind of equipment I need. Then information regarding property size, terrain, purpose and location would be relevent. I believe I'm well equipped and properly equipped for my needs at this time.

Somehow, I just spent the last 30 minutes reading this whole string and it is really impressive how passionate some folks are about this stuff.

In the end of the day, it floors me that someone...anyone...could make the argument that one brand is simply better than the other and that's that. Anonymous or not, that is a tough statement to make.

This is more of a Ford/Chevy/Honda thing. All good machines. Last I checked, Honda and Toyota had very strong manufacturing capacity state-side. And Kubota? Take a look in Georgia.

In the end, it's all about JOBS. You wouldn't want to see what happens if all foreign company based manufacturing left our shores. It would not be pretty, I assure you of that.

Chevy has unleashed several Korean cars on our shores with their sacred logo on the hood. Similarly, I'm 100% certain there are some JD tractors with less American content (from parts to assembly) in them than some Kubota tractors.

What does that mean? I don't have a freakin' clue. Just don't call me un-American.

There is no fault in purchasing Orange, Green, or whatever. They're all good tractors that we each take a lot of pride in for our own reasons.

Put another way, I'd like to see someone walk over to my house and ask, "Why'd you get a Kubota...you know you really wanted a Deere. Why would ANYONE want a Kubota over a Deere. You must have not had enough money to buy what you REALLY wanted." That is almost exactly what was written by someone about 10 pages back. And I have to say, it sounds a little silly. A LOT silly. And just a little mean.

Sorry. Just had to drop a line. This was all too good to miss out on.

It would only be mean if it was true

Sorry, I had to. I agree with you that that stament makes no sense.. just had to poke a little at the coals.... See if there is still fire...

Looks like there are still a few hot embers nmu98...this is too easy...

Deere is the best and all of you know it. cuboters are a nice runner up for those who just can't, for whatever reason, buy the King of tractors...the John Deere. Isn't there a cuboter forum for all those who own those nice little orange machines. Is cuboter a spinoff of Kioteee? The cuboter orange looks just like the Kioteee orange, hard to tell what's what...Doesn't matter.

LOL.. His slight signature change goes well with the rest of his post.

I can see the rest of this post either having green or orange text to show what side your on...

I was actually hoping that statements like this were made in jest with little smiley faces and everything to demonstrate that the statement is intended with a sarcastic tone.

You can actually make a comment like this and mean it? I'm very sorry for coming over here to your "domain" and even attempting to participate. If there are no rational conversations to be had, I'll just wander back to my side of the fence.

Isn't there a cuboter forum for all those who own those nice little orange machines.

For the record, if any John Deere owners happen to find interest in a Kubota thread for whatever reason, I promise you we will be more hospitable and welcome your thoughts. If Mr. Westy was making posts like this in the Kubota forum as a Kubota owner, I'd be the first (perhaps even the second or third) to step up and correct his manner. This type of intolerance seems like a real loss to me. I'll try not to make the mistake of offering my input again.

Thanks for making me feel welcome.

Is cuboter a spinoff of Kioteee?

This is just ignorant. Kioti is Korean and first introduced to the US in 1986. Kioti's parent company, Daedong, was founded in 1947. Kubota has been around since 1890 and was first introduced to the US market in 1969. What is the point of even make a statement like this?

I have never, and will never, make dispariging remarks about John Deere or any other tractor OTHER than the reasons why I made the particular purchase I made when choosing between the Kubota BX2230 and the JD 2305. In my area, the JD was less expensive, so I paid a PREMIUM to purchase the Kubota. Does that mean the JD was the "cheap choice"? Never. I'd never say that. I simply made a choice that worked for me.

Thanks.

Signing off.

I do not think it is fair for anyone to be faulted because they choose green, orange, red, blue, yellow or polka dot. That is why there are so many brands of tractors, cars, beds, houses, dogs, etc. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion based on their knowledge of a product or just what they feel. To criticize someone for their opinion is wrong. Everyone on here should be able to voice their opinion nicely and hear comments, concerns and questions. There is always 2 sides to a coin.
