I'll post if for no other reason, to be part of this thread.
I like the economy of buying LS, but the LS dealer is not open on Saturdays which is my usual "need something" day. Also, the LS dealer used to sell Massey Ferguson but nobody would buy them because of price, so he dropped them.
The Mahindra dealer does not want to sell Mahindras and keeps steering me to his New Hollands. They are as expensive as Kubota, but the Kubota dealer here listens to what I want instead of what he wants me to buy.
The Kubota dealer also sells John Deere, but it is expensive to change the JD to take SSQA stuff. If I buy the Kubota, I don't have to change anything.
I guess one could say I didn't buy the brand, I bought the dealer.
