I think it depends. A lot of the new stuff has the hours thrown at it to make the payments and are plain worn out before becoming obsolete. You don't see a lot of antiques with 20-30,000 hours on them.
I think the bigger problem is there are so many different models, it will be impossible to find parts both new and used once the bulk of them are out of field work. The oldies were churned out with tens of thousands almost the same for decades. Now they change every 5 years with smaller production numbers spread all over the world.
I'll say a Kubota hoe is nice, but it is not a commercial TLB so it will never last as long as one. If its an L35 or 39, it has a computer on it for the transmission. The L48 doesn't have any computer. Even now, the glide shift (PS) kubotas were the only ones with a computer. The digital dash doesn't run anything, its just a fancy hourmeter.
