I looked at new holland 37 workmaster, liked that tractor also, was built nice, had a 66in bucket when most in its class had a 60 but got a quoit back from the dealer 8 days after looking at the tractor and that machine came in at around $6,000 more than the Kubota, lift was better, weight was heavier but no thank you on the price. Boomer being more and closer to the grand series of Kubota and R of JD.
Thank you Farmer John! I've been reading though all of these posts and there was more conversation about pie, cake and ice cream than there was about the New Holland 37 Workmaster. I'm looking for my first compact tractor and find myself leaning towards the NH. I've also looked at the JD, Mahindra, and Yanmar. I don't like the color orange. Of all the dealers in my area, the New Holland is best. The pricing on 3 of them were within $1,000. Yanmar was $5,000 more. I think you helped me choose the NH. Thanks for your input.
LMAO! I made this thread for one reason, fanboys who boast about brands and not tractors themselves.
After everyone was in agreement that no one tractor brand stands out as the best this thread went to many different topics.
I also was a fan of the workmaster 37, I looked at that one when I was on the hunt, I had the same experience on a quoit, NH (15 mins away) was the first tractor I looked at, Case was 30 mins away, JD was 25 mins away, Mahindra was 25 mins away and Kubota was less than 10 mins. All dealers in diff directions and visited on diff days, the NH quoit came in last lol like 2 weeks after visiting the dealer and it came in way above the rest, case was a grand or two less than the NH. So those were out. NH warranty was absolutely terrible, 1 year on attachments like the FEL and 2 years on the tractor, that was a joke.
Mahindra was 7 years, Kubota 6, JD was 5 or 6 can't remember and NH comes in at 2 and costs the most lol.
Between the
L3901, 3038E, Workmaster 37, Case (can't remember the model, they didn't have one on the lot) and Mahindra 1533, I was gonna sign on the dotted line for the 1533, it came in as the best bang for the buck between the rest, I got more attachments in the deal ext.
I wouldn't consider the E series from JD, I like JD a lot, I love my local JD deal but I hate there E series. Cheap is an understatement, is like the big box store "D" mowers are to tractors.
I ended up buying a used cabbed 4320 and love it too.
So here's my summery of CUTs, non are made in the USA, not fully and some excel in different aspects of tractoring that's more attractive to diff people, I wouldn't say any are junk and need to be avoided, dealer network is important no matter which you chose.
I asked around to a few farmers, which one to buy, and the best non biased answer I got was, "all tractors break down no matter what color, buy the one that's easiest to get parts for"
