Another confused first timer

[ptsg]

I disagree with Jeff.

1. Without paying several thousand dollars the market share is not known. This is purely speculation on his part.

2. Many very successful companies have provided good quality products but have a small part of the market share.

3. As far as what is published, Deere is number 1, Mahindra 2, Massey 3, New Holland 4, and Kubota is number 5. But we do not know the market share percentage for each.

I wish someone that has bought the report would or even could post facts instead of misleading information.

I've asked Jeff a couple times for that info too. So others could see by themselves how the market exactly, instead of some speculated number, but it seems that that info is not available to everyone.

I get it that might be hard to keep track since the tractors in the US don't have license plates, but I'm sure there should be some info available out here, based on serial number or something.

For my country, I can easily check online for all the market shares across different brands and also at different HP intervals.

I don't even mind if he shares his opinion as long as he does not portray it as fact. What is known is there is plenty of satisfied owners of all the brands. I happen to be one that is more than satisfied, I am down right happy with my tractors.

Judy my opinion here, but JD and Kubota are the local dealers for me. I owned a Kubota BX and now own a JD 2025r. I have never used a Kioti but always thought they were good looking tractors when I looked at them. I think of JD and Kubota as making the best tractors in this segment but there are lots of other brands and happy owners.

For reference my JD 2025r I bought 3 years ago, 0% for 5 years, I traded in my Kubota and make a payment once a year, so I got the tractor and didn’t make a payment for a year. I’m normally a cash buyer but there was no deal as a cash buyer. My tractor is 25 hp, has a loader with a bucket, I also got forks and fluid filled tires in the back for counter weight, and a 60” mid mount mower for $21k out the door. I think you will find similar prices from Kubota. The problem is prices are higher now.

I think you will find your budget a little thin but I think you can make it happen.

Help me out. Clarify #3, above.


So would you not recommend me buying in Phoenix.....which is 2 hours away? They of course have many more options than our little area up here in the mountains....

Nearest Branson dealer is in Phoenix, 197 miles away

But as you say, I'll start local; that limits me to Kubota and Deere.

No kidding? Kubota and Deere? In the mountains of Arizona?
Almost everywhere else too.

Likely three more Kubota dealers and three more Deere dealers between the OP's land and Branson/Phoenix.


JD and Kubota are the local dealers for me.

My God, west-central Illinois too?


I live just outside the little town of Chiefland, Florida.

Within the little town we have Deere and Kubota. No other tractor dealerships.

Have tractor will travel said, "Since when does Turkey have a reputation for making anything good ?"

To place a carrot in front of the Turkish government to keep them in the NATO alliance, the US garanteed them jobs in defense parts manufacuting. Many military aircraft engine parts were manufactured in Turkey to mil. spec.
They have a modern manufacturing base and can make most parts to Western quality standards if requested.

You get what you pay for. Stick to a brand with some history and a serious presence in your area stay away from economy brands and keep it Deere Massey new Holland or kubota if you want to be able to get parts and have some resale on your machine. These guys that go no name China and Korea brands and going to all be complaining in 10 years when they can’t get parts for the cheap tractor

Really? Did you know that New Holland is made by LS? So I guess that LS is a "well known brand". LS won the 'dealers choice' award 5 years..... did Kubota?

I see. So do you have a more reliable source for this information? It seems all I find has the same data that is in this pay to play article.
