Re: Compact Tractors?????
James, check with Stuart Haynes. Perhaps they can cut you a deal at the HaynesOutdoors.com location in Manquin.

Re: Compact Tractors?????
It's hard to go wrong with either Kubota, Deere, or NH. I operated, tested, inspected, and practically dismantled all of them and ended up with the Kubota. Zero regrets. It's a great tractor.

Re: Compact Tractors?????
I have a JD my friend has a Kub. and the other a NH. I would say you can't go wrong with either. All around the same size.

Re: Compact Tractors?????
Kubota is the only compact that has enough hydraulic power to operate the bucket and 3 point at the same time out of the ones I tried, (New Holland and Massey) The massey lost Hyd power when the clutch was in!!
I hate to promote Japanese products over apparently US ones, but this far and away is the best one I have owned or operated.
My L3000 Kubota has 265 hours of abuse, oil and filters only.

Kubota or New Holland are my fav's, both have yet to be broken by our tough on stuff orchard worker's, unlike the other's we have. Yes, I'm in the market and really down to which will be the better price......

Re: Compact Tractors?????
Whats interesting is the resale, try and find a used Kubota.
My last tractor was sold before I got to the dealer to trade it in. The dealer had a customer sitting there waiting to take it.

Re: Compact Tractors?????
New Holland bought Case and used to build JD's skid steers. New Holland still builds some of JD's attachments. New Holland also owns Kobelco. FYI
