I looked long and hard for a new tractor. I found that anything under 100 hp was foreign built in Turkey, Brazil, Korea, Bulgaria, yee gods, places where wrenches and quality are a thing of the future. John Deere has jap Yanmar engines, MF is built several places overseas, even the New Holland pennsylvania tractors are built in eastern Europe. Kubota is the only tractor of quality that I found, every part, gear, nut and bolt manufactured in their own factory, built by their own employees. I couldn't touch their price. Mahindra makes a strong tractor, but has quality problems.
I finally found a good old (40 year old) tractor for about $1700 and sunk another $300 in it to get it in good shape. I expect that the way I run equipment, it will last me my lifetime. The kids can sell it by the pound. Just my $.02
