    Just found out people are paying $30K for L2502

    You are 100% correct that there are too many brands on the market today. Back of the napkin says some of these new tractor companies are selling less than 1000\tractors a year in the US. The 2nd tier "successful" ones maybe 6000-8000. That's not enough to build a proper business on. Either some...

    Kubota 47% -- John Deere 19%
