Buy the Kubota you want, don't listen to this nonsense. It is the standard argument made when someone can't afford a Kubota. Complete dribble.

This thread was never about what brand to purchase. The OP had settled on Kubota, so by then interjecting "buy Mahindra", BrokeFarmerJohn was sort of asking for it. I get that, and a little "back at him" would be the norm I suppose. But better to just remind him of the topic, you think? We all get a little off topic at times.

I'm not dissing Kubota, they make a good product. But your arrogant response Steppenwolfe, that just poor folks buy non-Kubota tractors is simply inflammatory and has no merit or basis in fact.

I have to give credit to noose though, his thread did get taken over a bit with bickering and he did a good job to ignore it/not take it too seriously. but he did say he was gonna check Mahindra out lol. Noose made the right decision on his tractor that was best for his needs and he bought a heck of a machine, we're all tractor people here, that's first after that the rest doesn't matter much what color it is.

Arguing about brands is like saying Harley is better than a Suzuki motorcycle, at the end of the day bikers still wave to each other, heck scooters get waves lol.

The guy trashed Kubota, I trashed him. That's all. Get over it and move on. You have never seen me trash another brand, and I don't care what tractor someone buys. Period. But to take another's post, trash the brand they have selected is just a bit past ignorant, if not plain insulting. So, keep selling your red machines and all the best in business. I hope you do well.

So you made it personal instead of posting facts about products. Interesting lol. What did you say the other day about not making things personal?

That's like trump saying Hillary was careless with top secret emails and Hillary responding that she doesn't like trumps hair.

Ah, that picture was at the dealer shop. There were a couple of additional hoses and fittings for the grapple that needed to be swapped out before it could be delivered. I went by to admire it at the shop and get "trained" so they could deliver it and not have to "train me" in the field... The brought it out tonight and I grappled a bit. That's going to take some time to get good at as one can grab a large chunk of dirt along with the debris if one is not careful. I picked up a couple of 200ish pound rocks, an old railroad tie, a broken tree... basically made a mess, lol. I've got a dumpster coming next week to clean up a bunch of old fence and construction material so I'll get lots of practice.
