If I go by what I see in my friends, neighbors, and relatives yards I would go Deere, then Kubota. The Deere dealers are well distributed for parts and service support. Kubota around here is tied in at the New Holland dealer and he seems to push orange harder than blue. New Holland is close to me but the other locations are a little more remote for others I know. The local Deere ag dealer has recently taken over from the dealer that had Deere consumer line in the Rochester area. The other makes just do not have that store density. Having worked the farm supply business around here I know people put a great premium on proximity. The city and suburban folk like everything within ten minutes. In fairness to any of the brands there are feature distinctions and price points with any of the colors (more so with Deere). Most dissatisfaction arises when features from line to line are not correctly compared from what I have seen. I think most consumers lack the mechanical background to follow what a salesperson is explaining to them. Then there is the tendency to treat this like a person is shopping for a vehicle where they start hammering on price. It's easier for a consumer to see they are changing features when comparing products in an automotive line than a tractor line. The happiest people I know that made a compact tractor purchase (regardless of color) were well informed or had somebody well informed helping during the selection process. Maybe someday I will have one but we need to put our money towards more important things here.
