Hello,I had an interesting find yesterday,I was at my local John Deere dealership yesterday and was talking with a salesman.He wanted to show me a new line of tractors he was going to carry called "Millennium tractors" the smallers tractors have a Kubota engine and the larger ones had John Deere engines.He told me a lot of people came in there and thought the John Deere tractors were too high and he said they would go down the road to the local Kubota dealership,(A lot of people were dollar shopping instead of brand shopping)this was a nice looking tractor,it was red in color,I told him it looked like an International,he did not like my joke.My biggest gripe would me they used a lot of metal where JD used strong plastic(with plastic no dents or rusty scratches).The tractor had a lot of features that you would have to purchase as extra add ons through JD,a few I can remember was a nice canopy that was easy to remove(no bolts) a horn,mirrors,rear work light.He just had one they were putting together,that he wanted to get out to the fairs.Anyone else heard of these?

Yep, saw one at a Logging Expo I went to this Spring. It does look like a pretty decent machine. The one I saw was 42 horse, MFWD, shuttle shift, loader and rear hydraulics, feller said it would run about $19K as equipped. The paint job was a little rough, but otherwise fit and finish looked good, welds looked good, and the Kubota engine is a tough customer. If I was in the market, I'd have to look hard at them. He was in the process of setting up a local dealership. It'll be interesting to see what kind of reputation they earn. ....
