I searched along those same lines until I turned blue.

Do you like your blue one. My sister in law is thinking about one...

So far, but I've only had it a few months and hours. Not enough real work like tilling to say for sure. The digger has worked fine though.

Cool. I have had the Kioti since 2012 and have about 500 hours on it. it is one fine machine.

Don't overthink it, the top 4 are about the same so pick something that's ergonomically to your likely and or your favorite color.

Short answer, Kubota! But I'm a Kubota snob, so you have to expect that answer from me.
Most of the manufacturers who have been around for a while have survived because they make a good product. Shop around, talk to the local dealers, and get the feel for what you like. It's not like you're choosing a wife after all... it's a lot cheaper to trade a tractor when it starts showing it's age.

Kubota, but your taste in vehicles suck so you should probably buy a Mahindra tractor.

I have a Kioti, Kubota and a C/IH, like them all for certain things but not all things, all the time. If only one major task, most of the time, pick the one you like for that task. If I had to keep just one, Kioti.

Considering that Yanmar, TYM and LS all make at least some models of other brands and most smaller machines use either Yanmar or Iseki engines, I'd say there isn't really a lot of core functional difference between nearly everything out there.

I have no reasoning that would disagree with this except for perceived and real resale value perhaps.
