I am planning to buy a new tractor in the 55-65 horsepower range, and was wondering if anyone here has an opinion and/or experience with Kubotas?

The hardest work I put on her is a 7' Rhino mower on the pastures. The Massey was a good machine, but a little smaller and I worked that poor thing to it's doom. Kubota is very popular around here but you can get a tractor just as good for less. Besides, if I was going to spend that much I'd buy American anyway. 99% of the citrus farmers in Florida are using exclusively John Deere. The outfit I'm with has 5 that are over 130 HP with AC closed cabs and 4WD. They had the other brands and won't switch back.

Good point. I have a 1976 Allis chalmers xt190 that I like, but the dealer got bought out and they closed the location near me. Now I have to drive over an hour, one way, to buy a part. If I'm not mistaken, Masseyferguson and Allis Chalmer were both bought out by a company called Agro or agco, something like that?Campground Cattle":zov34xge said:gertman":zov34xge said:I am planning to buy a new tractor in the 55-65 horsepower range, and was wondering if anyone here has an opinion and/or experience with Kubotas?
What you really need to look at is parts availabilty for whatever you buy in your area. I have a Massey 565 with 6000 hrs great tractor,if I need a part its 90 miles round trip. My Kioti is a year old 500 hrs and I have a dealer within 10 miles,if I need an oil filter or something. Try to buy local you do the math with time and fuel, if it's mechincal your going to need a part.
