First of all, most the so called NEW tractor brands you named aren't NEW at all. SAME for instance has been makeing tractors since the 20's.

Secondly, the smaller tractors aren't computer controled!!! Most of the posters here assume they are, and they aren't.

I have a couple of the newer tractors, and they are no harder to work on than the old ones. BUT, they have modern hydraulics on them, and 16 speed tranny with a shuttle, and MFWD. I bought a new tractor to get these features!

Yes, the big tractors over 100 hp are getting all computer controled, but the smaller tractors aren't. Both of my SLH (SAME built) tractors have been very reliable, and parts aren't a problem.

"If" i would have bought a John Deere made in India or china would it have been a better decision????? Keep in mind, none of the ag tractors made today under 100hp are made in the U.S.A. (except a couple speciality tractors)
