Looking to find a CUT myself, perhaps not as high HP. Then again told I would want higher HP. The dealer is the key. Besides LS there is Kioti, Branson (all Korean) and then Yanmar and Mahindra. Looking at the local dealers in my area, Kioti, and Kubots seem the best. Bobcat is a rebranded Kioti. NH and JD use several different manufactures depends on the exact model. YEP money.. $25+K for a 25 to 30HP with basic implements, FEL, Brush Hog, Box Blade. Goes up from there. I have not seen very many used tractors for sale that would outweigh having a warranty. Going to be using mine in the woods, so perhaps no Cab for myself.
