So, we all have opinions. If you had to describe the major CUT manufacturers with just a phrase or two, what would you say?? All in good humor of course!
I'll start it off
John Deere - used to be universally good even if +$$ for green paint. Lately their design and quality seems to be cheapened up and not all models are equivalent.
Kubota - +$ for orange paint , but seems to be the Honda of tractors. Some models seem to struggle with Tier 4.
Mahindra - looks good on paper, but too many rumblings about quality.
Massey Ferguson - Your Father's Oldsmobile.
New Holland - The Shibauras were great - LS less so.
LS, TYM, Branson, etc. - Here today, gone tomorrow?
Kioti - They seem like the Hyundai of the tractor world. Up and coming. Well designed with good features and competent enough to pull it off.
