Yeah I'm surprized myself at how many brands have been popping up, but Kioti and Same have been around for awhile, those are not new. I do wonder like G-man said about service and parts availibility. I firmly believe you get what you paid for and you don't get something for nothing. I do kinda wonder about the electronics on the new tractors, I'm wondering how well they will stand up to years and years of farming before sealed components age and the sealant lets go etc... Actually, I know NH recently produced a tractor without all the fancy stuff on it, I believe it was around 50-60hp, (model 6610S? I think). I think we may see more tractors with less electronics to follow, but only if they sell well of course.
I have been told its either CNH or JD that now has like a black box on them so that when a serviceman plugs in his computer, he knows exactly how many times the tractor has been stalled, how long the tractor has been idled, how long at full throttle, etc...
I don't think the big three are on their way out though, because thats still what all the farmers are buying atleast around here, they really can't afford to buy a new tractor, but they really really can't afford to buy a piece of junk either. However Kubota is really growing in popularity and I'd say they are giving them a good run for their money all the way up to 120HP.

Heres another brand I didn't know about until yesterday.
