Who Holds The Third Spot?

[airbiscuit]

I get your statistical difference with LS (you could also add Kioti built Bobcats), but I think we're pretty much talking brands. Otherwise we'd be talking about Yanmar being #2 for all those John Deeres they made.

Now to really stir the pot let's talk brand reputation

Kubota	Gold Standard
Yanmar	Gold Standard II (has the gold wheels to prove it)
John Deere	Green Standard
New Holland	Bronze Medal
Massey Ferguson	Your Father's Oldsmobile
Kioti	Up and Comer 1
LS	Up and Comer 2
Mahindra	Committed to Success/Needs to improve quality
TYM	In the game but sloppy
Branson	Will be swallowed up by TYM
McCormick	Dead man walking
Any Chinese Brands	Non starters
