No farmer ever said "I wish I had bought a smaller tractor."
Bruce Isn't that the truth! I only have 11 acres and use my Kubota L3010 for mowing. I often wish I had a 50 hp when I do some earth work. The problem I ran into with 50 hp tractors is I could buy 100+ hp tractors with loaders cheaper. If it wasn't for the fact bigger tractors need bigger more expensive attachments, I probably would have bought one.

I sell John Deere for a living.i will say Kubota makes a quality tractor.The Deere apple for apples is competitive on price.Someone on this thread said that Yanmar makes our tractors this is incorrect .We use yanmar engines in our compacts up to 75HP but they do not make our tractors.They are made in Augusta Georgia.Just another internet rumor that people take as gospel that is not true.Good luck with purchase. A very short search shows John Deere operates a tractor factory in Germany, and John Deere has sold German built tractors in America for decades. John Deere also currently operates 3 tractor factories in Brazil. Yanmar claims to have built John Deere model numbers: 650, 670, 750, 755, 770, 790, 850, 855,870, 950, 970, 990, 1020, 1023E, 1026K, 1070, 1100, 1200, 1250, 1320, 1400, 1420, 1450, 1520, 1530, 1620, 1630, 1650, 2305, 2320, 2520, 2520HST, 2720, 3005, 3032E, 3033R, 3036E, 3038E, 3039R, 3046R, 3120, 3203, 3320, 3520, 3720, and 4005. As well as building engines for John Deere to place in other models. "List of tractors built by Yanmar for other companies" is very easy to find if one is interested. Either Yanmar is publishing false information, or you are ill-informed about your product line.
People who choose to brew up their own storms bitch loudest about the rain.

In past history it has always been as Equipment (Machinery) go's
#1 Built in the USA ( Very Best you could Buy if you can afford it)
#2 Built in Japan (Again if you can afford it)
#3 Built in Taiwan (getting to affordable range for a lot of people)
#4 Built in Korea
#5 Built in China
#6 Built in India.
I do not know where Germany , Italy , Spain and all the other country's fall in this list.
I do not know if this rating list is still current. It is what I have been told for the better part of my 60 year life span.
There are a lot of small tractors that are built all over the place.
John Deer most of the small ones as far as I have been in formed come from India and Korea.
Kubota Japan
Mahindra Korea India and China
I for one paid maybe a bit more for my Kubota MX5800 than purchasing another brand But I take a bit of comfort in the fact that as I have been told my entire life That I have purchased the #2 area in the world for Manufacturing Machinery.
That Said
There are NO , ZERO small tractors fully built in the United States of America.
Assembled yes and that is more than likely Partially assembled not 100%.
I have a GREAT Dealer that supports my Tractor and that helped my Decision on the brand that I decided on so much so. That when I was looking into the purchase of an UTV they were the 1st people that I approached and I made another (2nd) purchase of a Kubota Product.
Like I said above.
I do not know where the Quality line up is around the world but when I have to buy out side of this Country I look and see where products are built. It is a big part of my decision in that purchase.
For me it is USA 1st
Japan 2nd.
Taiwan 3rd.
I have looked very close to machinery built in Germany and Italy as well. I usually can not afford the price tags from those Country's
I have been very happy with my Japanese (USA assembled) Tractor. It has surprised me with how much it can and has done for me.

Just bought a 2012 L3800 for the farm. Will probably add something bigger like an International 1066 hydro in the future as I get into heavier tasks. Wouldn’t want anything smaller than the L3800, especially with the hydro. That Case looks like a nice rig, not too big, but big enough for most things. I think you might be unimpressed with its stump pulling abilities, though. Good luck with it.

Either Yanmar is publishing false information, or you are ill-informed about your product line. I had a JD 850, made by Yanmar, I have a JD 790, made by Yanmar. I have a JD 4700, Yanmar engine, rest of tractor built in Augusta GA. Cragger knows what he is talking about. Kubota makes good stuff.

Look at Mahindra, they out lift any other tractor in that class by a good margin and if you go up in HP you won’t be dealing with the DPF bs so no regen etc....
I just bought a 1626 yesterday This

That was a good deal. Pretty good size for a utility tractor. I paid 20K 15 years ago for my 32 HP Kubota Loader series.
