By the time DPF needs attention I would recommend having it disabled. I did this with my 2014 diesel truck as I was getting a few problems with the DPF/Def.

I'm really surprised that the all 3 tractors are fairly close in price. I've heard recent stories of new Kioti tractors being $10-$20K cheaper than a new Kubota.

Just FYI, you're comparing the wrong Kioti to the other machines. The RX series would be the comparable machine size.

Sorry to hear about your previous NH disasters... That's alarming to hear.

I believe these workmasters are actually manufacturered by LS (at least now). Not sure if that is good or bad from your perspective but it might mean better luck.

Did you lie about the tires to the Kubota Dealer or was that the truth (ie same tires at other dealers). Trying to figure out why he/she was not happy about that statement. If not and he/she was mad because you exposed the dishonest sales tactic...then I would drop that dealer from the list.

Nope Didn't lie about the tires they were the same r1 ag tires i had priced on the other models. and yes i did drop him from the list, without hesitation. As for the new Workmaster 55-65-75 cab they are made in Turkey where the T4's are made The other Workmasters models 50-60-70 are made in india where the case farmall 50a-60a-70a are the same just different color and mahindra makes tractors there also. LS does not produce anything above the 50 hp range for New Holland Mainly the Boomer lineup but one of the new smallest sub compact just went to Yanmar even though its branded new holland the entire tractor is Yanmar and tells you right on the build plate......it's around the 20-24hp range.

I remember the issues you had with the WM50 and WM60. I never experienced any of those in the 2 years I owned my WM50. I've heard of others with issues and others with no problems. I would guesstimate that the QC out of those Indian units are inconsistent if reliability issues are that hit and miss. New Holland has been building the T series in Turkey for quite some time now. I traded in my WM50 for a (tier 3) 2012 T4.75 with 1K hours to get a cabbed tractor. So far it has done fine. I did have to replace a windshield wiper water pump. I understand that the tractor was traded in by a local farmer for a 95 HP New Holland. The T series has a 600 hour service interval on the tractor.

Sounds like you are wanting to go with the T but have reservations on the reliability and quality of the unit. I certainly understand your quandary. My only advise is to get a cabbed tractor in which unit you decide on. The comfort on this 59 year old body is certainly welcome.
