[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1851317, member: 24816"] Thing that I see about tractor brands is that parts availability and dealership service is a priority. For years, I said I’d never have a John Deere. Had and still use a Ford 3000 some. Those models have been good machines. The Ford 7710 that we got practically new with just a few hours on it was never anything but junk. I crippled along for years with it but could have bought something else for what I put into it. From what I understand from several folks the New Hollands are absolute junk. The New Holland dealership is a cesspool and in recent years they added Massey Ferguson. I would not deal with them for anything. From what I hear from those who have bought tractors from them it’s been a regret. I had a Case, parts for it were just as outrageous as JD in my opinion. I do like Case but we don’t have a dealership with 60 or seventy miles. When I got a new tractor a few years ago, my preferences were John Deere and Kubota. I believe both are decent machines, but the John Deere won out, because they seemed more professional at the dealership and I thought that might be the best as far as getting parts and service. I bought just a small JD 5055, the man that does our hay has a couple 5065 tractors and a 5075. It seem so far to be good machine. [/QUOTE]
