Question for all the Tractor Guys??

[TildenHunter]

We have owned a couple of tractors over the last 12 or so years and have recently had multiple issues with our most recent one.

We need a 45hp 4x4 tractor with front end loader, shredder and box blade.

What is your preferred brand??????? Looking for the most dependable, low maintenance machine possible.

Thanks

I've got a 20 year old New Holland 4835. Not one issue as long as I keep my kids off of it.

I've had good luck with John Deere and Case IH. My brother in law has had some problems with his newer Kubota.

All in the 45 hp range.

51hp Kubota with bucket, no issues

I have had a 35 hp JD and 3 Kubota's in 35, 50 & now 75 hp.

If I was buying another tomorrow it would be Kubota

I've got the L4600...but only 150 hrs. It's been great so far.

I think in 2015 they redid the engine to be more pollutant free...which is never good.

Seems like every time I hear new and improved it means more problems.
Also seems to me that every time a company gets the bugs worked out the EPA steps in and causes problems. JMO

Go with the Kubota. Its still made in the same place that its always been made. Lots of the other brands are now making their utility line tractors in India and they are just using the name to sell them. My M7060 Kubota has had no problems with the new engine. The dealer I purchased from told me that most of the problems people are having is they dont understand what to do when the rpms need raised to clean the exhaust.

I'm in the same boat as the OP. Looking for a new-ish Kubota or similar in 40-60 hp. We ran our old tractor into the ground.

My family has had 2 Kubotas and never had a problem with them. The newest one was bought new and is now 18 years old. Starts like a champ and runs great.

I have a 1969 JD 1020 . It's had 1 clutch put in no other problems

[Stan R]

I have had 3 tractor.

25 HP Mahindra
50 hp Kubota 0% financing
70 HP Kubota.

I would buy either in the 50 HP range

I've got a Mahindra 2555 4x4 with FEL and love it. I can do whatever I need to do.
