Don't matter, when the CaseIH factory rep tells you that you would be better off with a JD or MF in that size and knowing Fiat's past track record I'm not at all sure that Fait isn't going to do great harm to CaseIH/New Holland. I don't farm the land needed for a 435 or a 4X4 tractor for that matter. I could use another tractor, in the 60-90 HP range. Something for baling or running a haybine. Because of financing I did briefly look at new ones. I can afford one I just don't want the payments.
As far as ratings, J.D.Powers would be one of the few places I would check if buying a new vehicle. I wouldn't ask friends for sure because Marv would tell me Chevy, Nate would be Ford and my BIL would tell me RAM. They are all 3 tried and true loyal to their brands. I've seen people buy a vehicle (nephew comes to mind, Dodge Neon) who put up with a ridiculous amount of repairs because it "looks cool". Once he had that thing out of warranty it was always in the shop and cost him a small fortune. I've seen others who claimed it "was a good car/truck" just because they didn't want to look the fool for buying it in the first place. As a prior poster said, "I own a 19__/20__, _________ pickup/car, that has __________ miles on it. I average _____ MPG and have had no/the following problems". Then you have to count on that person telling the truth.
I know several people who would tell you that the HEMI is a joke. Granted they all owned the early ones that came out right after the re-release. Complaints range from mechanical issues to poor mileage and lack of power. Know one couple who got one, horse people, really bad mileage and couldn't pull their 2 place "Feather-lite" aluminum trailer in OD. The guy had been a big MOPAR fan, now he drives GM. The new RAM could be the best truck in the world and that guy will tell you it's a piece of junk.

Today's Featured Article - New Hitches For Your Old Tractor - by Chris Pratt. For this article, we are going to make the irrational and unlikely assumption that you purchased an older tractor that is in tip top shape and needs no immediate repairs other than an oil change and a good bath. To the newcomer planning to restore the machine, this means you have everything you need for the moment (something to sit in the shop and just look at for awhile while you read the books). To the newcomer that wants to get out and use the machine for field work, you may have already hit a major roadblock. That is the dreaded "proprietary hitch". With the exception of the
