Firstly, see my just posted thoughts on your other thread with the MF 2600 series.
The MF271 might be a bit bigger than you want in physical size, but probably a very good old MF design.
I looked at the NH Workmaster 55 prior to buying my JD and IMHO are decent tractors. I think the shuttle shift is standard too. There is a CaseIH version too, so you might save some $$$'s between the two.
Some things I didn't care for with the Workmaster 55 is the variety of parts origin. In other words, the engine is ISM - which I think is Shibaura? Not necessarily a negative.
It's been a while since I've looked at these, but for some reason I think the rear end/transmission is from another tractor and I just don't remember.
But what I'm saying is IMHO, the Workmaster is not necessarily a clean sheet design with New Holland engine, tranny, etc., but I think a lot of parts brought together to make a tractor. Again, not bad - just something to google. The Deere I bought was lower cost out the door, was a design that basically had been around since 1992ish. Parts and service were/are not a long term concern for the JD - IMHO.
Kubota - I think that is a company with their ducks in a row. I was very interested in a Kubota when I bought my JD, but didn't care for the dealer in my neck of the woods. If the Kubota is in good shape, priced right and meets your needs, I would put it at the top of the list.

Today's Featured Article - Earthmaster Project Progress Just a little update on my Earthmaster......it's back from the dead! I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
