If a fella like me was going to purchase a new utility tractor with a front bucket for doing chores like, grading the gravel drive, hauling old wood, stumps and sticks to the back of the property, snow removal and landscaping what machine should I get.
Kubota, Case IH or Deere. Kubota is a maybe a little less $$$ but I dont think the reliablity is there, I rented a Kubota for a day 3 years ago and the steering went out on it and it was rough.
Case IH would be good, maybe more durable but more money.
Deere---A lot more then the Kubota but better machine overall in my opinion.
In your guys opinion what is better a manual transmission or the hydrostatic, which costs more?
How reliable is the hydrostatic trans over the manual, I have heard of hydrostats seizing up on the small garden tractors in 3-4 years.
I would be looking at getting a machine in the 2500# range with a 1.3L diesel. I think that the Kubota would be about$15k, Case IH $17K and the Deere about $20k.
I think that warrantys are about 3 years or so are the warrantys 100% on all parts, service?
I know that all of these have Japanese diesels but the Kubota is 100% from Japan and the CaseIH and the Deere are assembled here. I have been told that when you buy a Deere you are paying for the name.
