Stay away from any China tractor. Ick! Kubota, JD, NH, Case are all good, pick the features & dealer you want. Mahindra, Yanmar, Kioti, probably a couple I'm forgetting are pretty good - less dealers, possibly not as polished, but a bit of a price break for a solid machine. Grey Market tractors from Japan - these are sold in Japan, & imported to the USA as used. Missing safety features, lacking parts support, everything is written in Japaneese. But, many match USA models fairly closely, and are pretty well made. They are fairly cheap for what you get - solidly made machines, if you can live with the negatives. Belarus is so so, has casting & hydraulic issues, used to have ok dealer support but not sure any more, lot went away. Then way, way, way below that is anything from China. Ick. --->Paul
