There are a large number of companies selling "compact" tractors in the USA-----probably getting to be too many--but the market size is huge. We will probably see some consolidation (read --buyouts/takeovers) in the near future.
As I am writing this:
1) Montana is trying to buy Farmtrac--not too significant since neither one actually manufactures the compacts/engines.
2)Ingersoll Rand/Bobcat is rumored to be buying Daedong/Kioti---this could be significant since Daedong actually manufactures the tractors/engines. (I predict that this will happen--if it has not already.)
The point I am trying to make is, that there are only three companies,that I am aware of, (other than the Chinese ones) ,that manufacture the ENTIRE tractor including the engines, that actually market AND sell compacts here in the US, on their own,---Branson/Kukje, Kioti/Daedong, and Kubota.
All the rest buy their compact tractor engines from these three plus several other engine manufactures, mostly in Japan---(Mitsibushi,Shibaru,Yanmar,etc.)

I agree with halw---I think Branson/Kukje/Dongkuk Steel (parent co) is here for the long haul---they have a ways to go to catch-up from a marketing standpoint---but they are heading in the right direction, and the product quality is second to none.(IMHO, of course /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif)

Very well said dancce. Guarantees are really only as good as the dealership. The dealer is the liason for the customer so he has the ability to make buying and servicing/repairing a very enjoyable experience or absolute misery. I am confident Branson is here to stay as well as my dealer. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
