Why would anybody want to buy something like that ~/\~ when you can get the latest & greatest at a rental yard •

My brother uses "mini" tractors everyday. He has used Kubota and Deere tractors and has told me the Deere has much smoother hydraulics. He found the Kubota to be jerky whereas the Deere is super smooth.
I have used the Deere as well and found it to be a great machine although I have little to compare it to.
The Deere he uses has quick attach implements (deck, blade, front end loader) and he said they are easier to use than Kubota. The price difference of the two is very similar and if you have dealers for each near you it is better (obviously).
They are both easy to operate.
I have a tractor. Its a ford 1500 tractor. Great machine love it. I have every attachment for it as well.

LOL, got some acreage recently and would like to work the land whenever I feel like it, without the time limits of picking up a machine and returning it. I will use it lots.
The Deere is about $3500 cheaper but it is less tractor than the Kubota, lighter, less power. Have not pulled the trigger yet, still thinking about it.
Oddly my brother says the exact opposite for weight and power. His work has three Deere 1025's with all the attachments and he has had zero issues with them. I'd be happy with either...even the Massey Ferguson tractors look pretty good even though they are made in China (mini tractors).

Girlfriend's son-in-law has had a Kubota for probably the last 8 or 9 years,loves it and does everything with it.
Over 98% of the acreage for almonds, pistachios and walnuts are in California.

I have a 60 HP John Deere hydrostatic. Nice tractor. Bigger than a mini but not what you would call a full size. Does blade work throws snow pulls a small plow through clay. Depends on what you mean by working the land. If renting doesn't work ( and you can rent for a season or two at a time) you might consider leasing for longer but not all year. That's if you do not plan to do anything involving snow clearing.
Congrats, but we're gonna need pics or it didn't happen...a 40hp tractor is a good sized machine!

A prob with John D when I was buying was the 30 40 and 50 horse (maybe up to 60) were the same block and internals just turned up and turboed. didn't make me feel good about working a 50 or 60 horse tiny block veery hard. 
I loved my NH hydro but if I did it again I might get the reg geared unit as it is set and forget for mowing (maybe 70% of my work) and the hydro you have to "set the speed" every time you turn a corner.
