"edit; your bias is showing. I just counted 10 Kubota problems in the first 80 posts. The most common threads seemed to be about Fords... how long has it been since that name changed to New Holland?"--- quote
yes, but there were a few that did NOT mention Kubota in the title, only in the first post. I am not trying to bad mouth any tractor brand. They are all 'good' these days. As others said, each individual will find what is good or bad for them.
When I first started shopping for a tractor, the first place I went was the Kubota dealer (having operated multiple different models over the years). After I had to almost BEG to get a salesman to get off his butt and out of the a/c office, he was basically rude and arrogant so bad, that the wife just said "let's go".
We went over to the JD dealer..... same thing, same attitude. But he was more intent on telling me about their big service department and how many tractors were back there. When I asked why there were so many, and so many taken apart, he couldn't answer. It would have been better if he just said for maintenance......
I'm glad they were like that.... that's the reason how I found LS. And how I saved almost $6K on a SCUT TLB setup.
When I ended up selling my first LS (SCUT), I gave them both another chance first.... nope same attitude, same arrogance.
So, back to the LS dealer.... saved me over $9K vs. the L2501 TLB.
Oh, and that LS dealer is 550 miles away.... never had to take either tractor back to them for any work, over 560 hours combined, and they are / were worked HARD!
Biased.... Yes. Over the dealers and the outrageous prices.
It has to be up to the buyer /user to see what works for them. It doesn't matter to us what color it is. I do like to hear how much somebody likes their tractor.
