Had my share of older tractors and true, reliable, easy and efficient to operate. Perhaps maintenance is more costly on the newer but my 2008 Kubota grand l is not great. I purchase all my fluids and filters and perform the maintenance myself. As of this date I have not had any problems, dealer involved or myself. Now as to old versus new; old is fine, simple to work on typically by the owner and most parts are readily available. Down side is, parts availability may become less, skilled technicians for these tractors may become less and then there is the aging body coupled with tractors that require more manual exertion and physical dexterity to operate. Then there is the safety side of old versus new. None of my older tractors had any safety features what so ever except for the neutral safety for starting. I do not regret going with anew tractor for: the Kubota has a level platform that enables easier entering and exiting, it has hydrostatic drive that is a pleasure to operate, it is front wheel assist for when needed, it has a fel which enables me to do a lot of work, it has a superb seat that adjust forward/backward and has armrests, lift arms can extend several inches for less precise placement of tractor when changing implements, it has good steering, brakes and lighting. Also, why worry if a tractor will be around in 35 to 40 years? For this aging male with increasing limitations the new tractor enables me to continue to enjoy working a tractor safely and longer and not near as tiring. Just my thoughts, most may differ.
