What he failed to tell you as Paul Harvey says--the rest of the story--many JD dealers are go TU also. That is what happens in an economic downturn made worse by fascist who knock over 2 skyscrapers full of people. Last I checked it was JD stock that was down, not Kubota. Kubota is an old company and one of the only that still builds the entire tractor including engine. Kubota ain't going away, on the other hand the marginalized profits in the lawn care and small utility tractor segment (due to competition with Kubota) may not remain attractive to a brand name company (a company that puts there name on products made elsewhere)and they may well pull out concentrating on larger commercial sells. Imagine, the JD name sold to MTD for the sub 40 horse market--more likely than a huge and old and very successful and extremely competitive quality driven company like Kubota failing.
This resale thing about Kubota vs JD is a bunch of Horse****! when I cruise through the area here, aside from a few JD 400's and 300's and maybe one 4100 and the Sears crowd, every new or nearly new UT is a Kubota, I don't see any JD's except in the fields (combines etc), your dealer is lying to you. One way to stop people from lying in the future is to confront them with it and also report them to JD HQ, I am sure a company with a long tradition and good reputation would not want someone like him working for them.
