Not trying to start a fight, but let's have a little fun .......

[roadhunter]

Oh boy, this could get nasty, and fun!

(These apply to CUT's only, as that is my area of familiarity)

JD: So what if it costs more, offers less capability, has the most arrogant dealers ?! It's JD Green! If I get one, everyone will think I'm cool... Even Joe Diffie made a song about it!

Kubota: Baaaaaaa. Baaaaaaaaa! (That's the sound of sheep). Someone said they were the "Honda" of tractors, but I see them as the Chevrolet of tractors: May not truly be the most dependable out there, but now it's as American as Apple Pie. Everyone else has one, must be good (right?).

New Holland: A long time ago we were Ford (which by the way, true story, my gramps worked for Ford Tractor Mfg)... Then we were "New Holland".... Now we're Fiat... I think we still sell CUT's, don't we?

Massey: The red tractors your dad talked about. C'mon AGCO, just go and buy Iseki. By the way, I see these Iseki units as the real Honda's of the tractor world.

Mahindra: I mean TYM. I mean Mitsubishi. I mean..... Wait, what are they again?

Yanmar: The "it's cool to be retro" machine, that just may make a valiant return, like the Challenger did.

Kioti: Kubota's evil twin. Are they better? Are they stronger? They are Loki to Kubota's Thor. Or is it the other way around?

LS: The "up-and-comers" ... We've been here for longer than you know... And our 2nd cousin makes your refrigerator.

TYM: Tong Yang-a-dang something... We can't sell them as Scorpions, TYM's, or Cabela's.... Hopefully Mahindra keeps buying them.

Best post in the tread. Sure to piss off just about everyone. LOL

I owned the worst knock off of all. The bobcat which is a Kioti Knockoff which is a Kubota Knockoff made by another Dang Yang Dong company.

I read the first ones just fine. John Deeres color scheme is trademarked. Apparently Kubota's color scheme is not. I'll believe you when somebody starts making knockoff Deere tractors in JD green. But that has already been stopped in court. Clearly Kubota messed up somewhere along the line.

I don't think I would go that far. Maybe more like Snap-on VS Craftsman. Anyone knows snap-on is the best there is and craftsman sucks. Right?

You want a knock off green JD tractor made by Daedong.. Well Here you go.

OH,, WAIT! those are actual John Deere green and yellow tractors made by Daedong in Korea... same folks who make Kioti, and made the Bobcat tractors... be careful what you wish for.

A company named AgraCat imported Jinma tractors from China that were painted green with yellow wheels. Deere sued them and pretty much anyone involved with the importation of any brand of tractor from China. AgraCat was bankrupt within a year.

Here's a link to the John Deere lawsuit:

I agree with all the comments so far.. Funny.. and true


Since we've branched off into commercials. This is one of my favorites

Some good ones already.

Deere.....Overpriced Yanmar with tons of dealers that dont care about CUT's
Kubota.... Lightweight and High quality and really focused on Small tractors and lots of dealers. But price is pushing up there like deere
Kioti....Heavy weight, good quality. But not as many dealers. Priced better
Mahindra.....Super heavy weight. Technology and styling seems to be a generation behind on most models
Massey.......Who builds them this year?
CNH...........Who builds them this year?
LS.........Pretty much the same as kioti
TYM......Would never have heard of them if it wasnt for TBN
Yanmar.......Buy one and paint it green and you will have a deere for 1/2 the cost

nice!

Though I'll point out, regarding the Massey "who builds them this year" comment ... Iseki builds all of the Massey CUT's, and has for a long time (*/- 20 yrs ?). Just fyi in case you weren't aware.

Reading further down on that I saw where "Cadbury's purple is protected by trademark only for chocolate products." Could that not apply to green for tractors?
