In general, Kubota is a more universally recognized brand; one of the "big three" CUT manufacturers. That usually means higher prices and higher resale values. Both brands are built well and have good quality. You should test drive equivalent models of each brand to compare features, fit and feel. Most people here will tell you the dealer is almost more inportant than the tractor. It's a long term relationship! ....

Start with the task. That tells you what implement you'll need. Then ask yourself how big the job is and how fast you want to get it done. A little simple math (or a talk with your dealer) will tell you how big the implement will need to be. From there you can match a tractor to the implement making sure you have a little extra padding on size, weight & HP. Go thru this exercise for all of your anticipated tasks and it should build a picture of the tractor best suited to your needs. Then compare equivalent products across brands and get a feel for the dealer. Lastly, look at price. ....
