I sold my DEERE and will never buy another. I will take my Kubota with more stuff and cheaper price. I say that when I got my 455 you had to pay more for a CAT 0 (too small) 3-pt hitch, more for a PTO etc.

I can get a BX with std pto CAT 1 hitch etc... The BX will killing JD and that is why they tried revamped the the smaller units a few years ago.

Deere's quality standards don't go very far. They crank out quite alot of substandard stuff. As of late most of their product is comming from other companies, other factories, and is simply painted green (not most of the Kubota linel outside Atlanta). Their biggest asset is not their product. Its their name {DEERE} and they way they've sold themselves to the American public. As a business, they should be commended for that. Its the reason they make the profits they do. The last two factories that Deere started up themselves where in Mexico and India right? I'm not knocking the product, just pointing out that Deere today is certianly not the tractor company from Illinios that it was years (or decades) ago.

Kubota outsells Deere nearly 3-1 in the CUT business. I got this from 2 dealers that sell both.

Not saying Deere is bad but their parts are over priced, nickle and dime ya for items that are std on others.

Well everyone has their own opinion. I STRONGLY disagree with yours (my avatar backs that up lol), but everyone has the right to think what they want.
