not quality. John Deere commands a much larger re-
sale value and tends to be more reliable.
According to other tractor forums that I read JD' tractors have quite a few operational failures. I think JD is worried about Kubota taking market share because JD advertises on a tractor forum that is only for Kubota's. I think for Kubota to make it the higher HP ranges they will have to increase their weight to HP ratio. I also wonder if Kubota's bevel gear MFWD frt will hold up at higher HP or if they will have to change to outboard planetary type frt axle. I own a Kubota 65 pto HP tractor that I've put nearly a 1000 hrs on that so far has been trouble free. I use it to cut and load/unload rd bales.
