That leaves Kioti, LS, Massey, or New Holland.

Unless something changes I'm still looking at LS.



You can still parts for a nearly 100 year old tractor from John Deere, most others haven't been making tractors for for half that long. Have you actually priced a John Deere? The compact and utility tractor market is very competitive, may not be as much difference as you thing. I've had several Deere's and will probably stay with them for support as much as anything, they've been good tractors. I had a David Brown many years ago. Built like a tank, but got to the point I had to make anything I needed for it, I mean anything. It was what I could afford at the time. Good luck with your tractor search, but look at everything before you buy, remember what "they" say about assume. Never had a tractor with a cab, but always wished I did about every three or four years when we get enough snow to plow and push in January around here in KY. Worst sunburn I ever got in my life was pushing snow all day in January. I looked like a boiled lobster for a week.
