Yanmar vs Kubota

[yanmars]

I have a "US" yanmar but it is a 1980s tractor and some parts are harder to get now. I cannot speak for the kubotas from that age range.

Sorry I can't help with the Yanmar info. Kubota is an established network, but you already knew that.

I'm very proud of everyone that has posted so far. No flames. The OP is getting unbiased info here. Might not answer all his questions but certainly shouldn't offend him or anyone else reading this thread. Good job Gentlemen.

Never had Kubota but I had two grey market Yanmars. every time I went to look at the Kubota's I shied away because of weight and price. Most everyone I know that had them liked though and I believe they use a lot of parts made in the USA. Yanmars are great tractors I had a 14 01D and a 1702. The 1702 was an amazing machine for size very heavy with a compact footprint. Never had any problems but always was concerned about parts availability.

Thanks for all the replies. Guess I will go with a kubota one reason is haven't found any 4 x'4' yanmar in the hp range I'm looking for . seems that kubotas are more popular in Oklahoma then yanmar. This is my second posting in a week and the response for both has been outstanding.

If you find one that fits your needs in your price range I wouldn't hesitate to go get it. They have a good reputation and dealer support from what I have read.
