Bang for the buck Kubota's are hard to beat, unfortunately they hold their value. At least in these parts. Most high end landscape contractors around here prefer them. You see a rare JD or New Holland.
I don't know anything about them, but for the price of a late-model, used Kubota or JD you can get a brand new NorTrac, Jimna, Kioti etc. (probably all made by the same Chinese manufacturer
) which might work just fine, depending on use and your feelings about Chinese products.
