Russel - I know of no web site which directly compares the 2 tractors, so you will have to base your decision on opinions of those who own them. I own a B1700, and have approximately 80 hours of use on it so far. I have the Kubota loader, 4 wheel drive, and ag tires. I can not directly compare my tractor to the NH, having never driven one, but I can say that I am entirely satisfiied with my purchase. For a little tractor, it has surprising capabilities, and is of excellent quality in my opinion. Remember, the 1700/2100/2400 series is now discontinued, so you very well may be able to cut quite a deal on a left over model before the new models come out. For comparison I paid $13,500 for mine. What sort of price have you been given? I would bet you can go lower than what I paid, unless you are in a particularily expensive part of the country. Any specific questions about the 1700, e-mail me.

Russel,
I don't know of any website either but I own a New Holland TC18 and love it!
I have a great dealer and I got a great price here in south central Michigan.
I paid $9,200 for hydro 4x4 without power steering (add about 700 for power steering) I don't have a loader and don't plan to get one. Keep in mind that the TC18 has 1.5 more hp and 1 more hp at the 3 pt. As per the brochures, I have both, the TC has higher total hydraulic pump flow and is rated to lift about 250 more pounds at 24" behind the 3 pt. Folding rops is standard on the hydro also. This machine is a worker, I had a pole barn built this summer and did most of the fill sand grading/moving with this tractor using a rear rake and back blade and it was amazing how much it would handle. Haven't moved snow yet but hope to soon. I have about 45 hours on it and would do it all over again. The dealer is very important, so check them out too. Good luck, Jim ....

Russell Just go look at both tractors you'll know the New Holland is the right decission, Kobota didn't quit making that model for nothin' A 1960 model looked the same!!! New Holand is much more user friendly. ....

Well I own a NH TC-18 Hydro with 4 wheel drive. It runs great and is a real workhorse. I bought the midmount multching mower and front loader as well. When I was looking around at tractors Kubota didn't offer a midmount multching finishing mower. Which was one of the main reasons for getting the NH. Besides the tractor was quite a bit cheaper then a similarly equipped Kubota B1700. I also paid about 9200 for the tractor. Much more attractive then the 10,600 price on the kubota!!!! ....
