All of the smaller tractors are made in China now no matter the paint job.

Probably not a bad buy, but you can probably get an older used tractor at a better price and have a better tractor.

If it doesn't have a powertech engine it was built in China.

At least that's what I was told.

My wife manages a Kioti dealership. Not because she works there, but she says their a good tractor. My personal preference in Kabota.

I'll give you this advice...do not buy a tractor that is next to impossible to find parts for.

I've had guys come in looking for parts for tractors they bought as a "hellofadeal" only to realize they were money pit tractors.

Funny how so many can't spell or pronounce their own tractor.

Kubota= Ka-booty, Cub-boater, Ku-butta

Massey-Ferguson= MaggieFerguson; Maddieferdda, MasseyFerduson; MaggieFerggie; "MF'er hard to find parts for"(my favorite)

I did some digging for you - made in South Korea. Geauxt (and his crusty, gimp finger) will not let you live it down my friend.

I used one for a few years on a golf course. It was basically a Kubota knock off. Controls and everything same as Kubota.

It got sunk in a lake one time. Changed fluids and fired back up.

On second thought, you should just be able to wash the tires off.

I like my Kubota mx5100. It has proven to be a very useful tool around the house.

Just go rent one when you need a tractor. I bought one of the Farm Tracs during the compact tractor craze. I can't really complain too much about it because I have cleared half of North Louisiana with it. It's on it last leg now though.

The damn PTO doesn't work due to some stupid arse electrical switch somewhere, so I just rented a John Deer for the weekend to do all my bush hogging. Man what a difference, a lot more power and the peddle forward and reverse made it a lot faster.

He'll be driving what ever tractor I get & like it
This tractor will stay at my hunting land & be used for the roads & food plots

The boss wants her tractor back at the house

Parts will be your issue. Same with Kubota. In the last few years parts have been harder to get and they're higher than giraffe vag.

What size are you looking for?

What? I own 2 Kubota tractors and parts aren't a problem at all. Yes, I buy the ones I can't find online from the dealer and they aren't cheap. But they aren't ridiculous, either.

OP, for my money I'd buy Kubota or JD. I haven't had a single issue with mine. Plus you can get 0% if you want to finance so...

That all depends on the size tractor you have. I know from experience that parts for bigger Kubota tractors are harder to get. Sometime up to 10-12 week wait at times.
If I was buying smaller than a 50hp I'd buy a Kubota but if I'm buying bigger I'm buying JD.
