I have been looking at small tractors in the 25 hp range. Loader, belly mower, and 3 point. Massey has a lower price but the Kabota guy seems to know what he?s talking about. Opinions?
(quoted from post at 09:40:24 12/10/17) I have looked at both brands. Kubota usually has a better finish and quality of control levers an such. The major difference is the parent company. I would NEVER OWN anything that I had to worry about AGCO for warranty or design. Especially the compact tractors. They are designed/built by Iseki under contract for AGCO. I personally know of two law suits on warranty related issues on these tractors. AGCO and ISEKI both tried passing the buck back and forth on who's fault the troubles where.
A Man was killed on the one tractor. The steering failed while he was going down the road. He went off the end of a 20 foot tall culvert. It flipped completely over on its top before it hit. He was seat belted to the tractor. Even with eye witnesses stating the fellow was screaming that he had no steering AGCO stated the tractor was in working order. The roll guard folded forward and he was crushed under the roll bar/tractor. The tractor was assembled in the USA by AGCO. So Iseki said it was installed wrong by AGCO and AGCO said it was designed wrong by Iseki. The tractor had 45 hours on it.
Google MF/Iseki warranty troubles and you will get lots of hits on hydraulic issues and weak steering with loaders.

Resale value is so high on Kubotas that they cost nearly nothing to own.
(quoted from post at 23:35:18 12/10/17) Deere and Kubota do have one great thing in common,their Madison Ave ad agencies.Tell people something in an ad long enough they'll believe it.
(quoted from post at 06:48:00 12/11/17) Kubota all the way. I have owned Deeres most of my life, didn't like the design of the 60hp mahindra Deere liked the 6040 Kubota. Had the Kubota for 6years only sold because of broken back. I paid $15,200 for it, sold it for 14,500. Cost $700 for six year use. Only problem had light switch got wet and corroded cleaned and put dielectric grease on it worked fine.
