Comparison Kubota 4240 vs Deere 4120 -- Why big price diff?

[beppington]

I just have gone through the buying process, got quotes on a Kioti, a Kubota, and a Massey Ferguson. The Kubota quote was almost $13,000 higher than the Kioti for an equal configuration; the Massey, $10,000 higher than the Kioti. While I really liked the Kubota, in no way could I justify the higher price.

This $13K figure seems to imply that one could get basically my same tractor for which I paid ~$26K for ~$13K ... What am I missing??

Cab, HST, 2nd remote, loaded tires, bucket teeth, welded on chain hooks, quick hitch, and several implements including a rotary cutter and a tiller. Total almost $37K compared to almost $50K and almost $47K for comparables.

Do you have anything good to say about a tractor besides Kubota? Don't mean to sound rude or snotty, but you find a way to seem every tractor lesser, though it's not always true.

It's just Art being Art. Sometimes I think he must crap Kubota Orange.

I have to have an open mind as I once sold Kioti. It was better then some brands we have sold! Haven't had trouble with that yet! Guess I'm still not eatin the right stuff!

What do you think of Kioti? Is it a good buy?

Don't torture Art. He cannot answer the question.
