Kubotas are top shelf! I bought a used one and loved it. That said, if I was buying new, I might try to save some coin and look at Kioti or Mahindra.I was looking at buying a subcompact tractor at some point in the future and I will scratch Deere of my list because of this.
Kubota has nice tractors, reasonable prices, many options, great engines and easy to get parts so I will probably go with them.
Right to repair movement. John deere is suing farmers who repair or modify their tractors.
It will end up in the USA supreme court and if they decide in favor of the manufacturers it will really suck. It's a long read. Support the farmers and right to repair movement.
