Yeah, it does not seem like good business to have a "we don't know yet" answer. Another thing that has me hesitating on buying this model is that the 50-100 hour service requires all fluids and filters to be changed. It's a big cost fairly close to the time of purchase. This could be a good practice that rids all the contaminants from the break in period or an indication that they have a lesser grade gear oil and hydraulic fluid. The kubota and Kioti models I am looking at require only the engine oil and filter for the breaking service- according to the salesmen.
I have compared the Kubota L3560HST CC; L4060HST CC; Kioti DK45SE Cab (tier 3) and the McCormick X1.45C
The McCormick comes in 1st for the most bang for the buck. Kioti is best all around for features and cab layout, if only the dealer would drop a few thousand. Kubota has a luxury cab with a lot of nice features on their Hydrostatic, but are a little light on the loader and PTO pump flow.
