Which of these tractors Kubota or New Holland?

A lot of Kubotas are bought by weekend warriors who don't use their tractors up to their full potential. They are also light, so they aren't punished as much as some others. Both of these may lead to fewer issues. I'm not bashing Kubota, they may in fact have fewer issues and probably do have a more refined manufacturing and QA process. They are lighter and by specs and my test drives (doesn't tell you much) I find will give less, $ for $ than many other brands in capabilities, specs and features. Celebrate the OP's choice and new tractor, he's going to love it and let's hope it treats him well.

I totally disagree with you about the purchasers, I've got a used L-series in my inventory that has over 6.700 hours on it! Not the first one we've seen and as far as farmer we just looked at one with 8900 hours on it! More people in business buy Kubotas because they are that reliable that you can put that kind of hours on them and not be down waiting for parts or service. I've seen many change their trade cycle of equipment to add another 1,000 hours on because of lack of down time because they don't break.
Good luck with your new tractor! I do like the wax you use!

Well for the most part this has been a pretty frendly post, not to many arguements. I have enjoyed reading this one.
To the OP nice choice it's the one I would have made, but then again I am bias its my tractor with a little less HP. I am happy with mine and I have been using tractors since I was 9 years old which has been a couple of years. As has been pointed out by others between the units you were looking at you really couldn't go wrong, and if you couldn't choose between those man there are so many others out there that are just as good and maybe even better who knows as long as you are happy that is all that matters.
Happy tractoring!

I just bought a new Workmaster 55 and it totally fits our needs. BUT...while filling out the paperwork, dealer told us they would soon be offering Kubota. ON a recent visit to dealer to resolve a couple minor issues, I noticed very heavy traffic in the lot. Non farmers were buzzing all over those Kubotas.

Smart move for my dealer. The NH offers some great tractors, but Kubota has the hobby farmer/acreage owner market nailed!!!!
