What are the most reliable tractors to own?

[Reddogs]

Not sure what you have against Kioti ?
My previous tractor was a JD 850.
I've owned my Kioti DK 35 for 22 years.
Its every bit as well built as my JD was. Its been every bit as solid and reliable.

Well, to start, try to find a actual Kioti dealer in Florida, to say nothing about repair and servicing or getting a part in a hurry...

Can't speak for Florida, But I have 5 Kioti dealers within 60 miles of me. (Western, Pa.)
I buy any parts online and they are at my door in few days, I've never gone to a dealer for parts (same with my mowers and side by side, I've never bought a part from the dealer. I order them online and there at my door in a few days)
I've never needed dealer repair or service. 22 years and my DK has never been back to the dealer.

I was looking at the best of tractors, and I came across this list as the most reliable tractors in North America..​

1. John Deere​

2. New Holland​

3. Case IH​

4. Kubota​

5. Massey Ferguson​

6. Fendt​

7. Claas​

Is this list correct or is Kubota better than John Deere or on par, and why are Case and New Holland even up there. And what happened to all the others, like Mahindra, Sonalika, etc.. or are these listed the best tractors.

In my opinion, the John Deere tractor brand is the most valuable and sought-after in the world. With a 183-year track record of dependability, John Deere is the most dependable company on the market. It is a dependable tractor brand with tractors ranging from 22 to 640 horsepower.

Way too many variables to sort out in that list ? What is the source of the list ? what criteria was used ? time frames ? horsepower ? purpose / use of tractor ...

We have a Tonka Tractor that has been in the family for over 50 years. It has never been greased, never had an oil change, never been back to the dealer, been left out over the winter half buried in mud, been hurled across the yard at an older brother. Other than a few rust spots it is still in good shape and the grandkids still play with it. It gets my vote.

Lucky man, most places the 'dealer' is a truck place with some diesel lawnmowers and a lonely tractor.. You must live a good life to never need a dealer repair...

I love my Kubota L3130, but I'll be damned if I'm gonna sleep with it.

When you start calling her "Sweet Thang" you will know you're hooked!

No dealers around here that I know of. Can't remember of even hearing of Kioti before reading this thread.

But, I have a JD dealer and a CNH dealer within a mile of each other, about 12 miles from this very spot.

Its beginning to seem that way, and the dealers are easier to work with in my opinion...
