Looking to buy 2006 3320 - been sitting for 4 years - what concerns?

By the way which is better John Deere or Kubota?

This is a loaded question that is sure to stir things up but I'll bite.

They both make good tractors. That being said I mostly drive a Deere and I probably always will. There are several reasons. I do not like treadle hydrostatic controls. I like both my cheeks to be evenly supported on the seat as there are days when 8 hours of seat time happen. My brother is a salesman at a Deere dealer. I was raised on John Deere's. They spend a huge amount on r&d and it shows. These reasons won't be good enough for some but they work for me.

Hah, as if there was a simple answer! I think you will find they are both very good tractors. Pluses and minuses to the different models in each lineup. Can't really go wrong with either if you find the right tractor for your needs. Plenty of other good brands too.

LOL not a fair question. Just like asking which is better Ford, Chevy or Dodge. There are those that will go to their graves for each swearing they are the best. I took a look at TYM they are a nice looking tractor, no dealer anywhere close to so. cal. and I don't have a friend trying to get rid of one LOL.

In a 32 HP tractor both Deere (Yanmar) and Kubota make excellent tractors. Depending on the price and assuming the owner wants to unload it, I would jump at the Deere you posted about.

I agree with you. It's all about what you have access to and if a good deal comes along for you that is what you go with. For those of us who don't want to get sticker shock at the showroom.

Deere vs Kubota... I think we've got a wise-guy here.

Fuel will be the biggest issue. My uncle bought a 7600 many years ago that was a deere test mule, and for some reason it sat for a long time. Fuel was the biggest issue with it....

nch209, Thanks for your response. Looks like fuel is biggest concern. Others have mentioned the same.
