I have had IH , Kubota, I agree with then dealer statement. Not many Case IH dealers around me. I like My IH better. Got a 70 Hp Kubota for my wife, in 2007 , no problems except front seals and that was self induced by hay netting. My only disappointment is handling the Big round bales , had to fill the tires with fluid and watch uneven ground with the Kubota. It is just short wheel base.
If American Made is Important Look where the tractor and Engine is made. I was surprised to find some Jon Deere had overseas Engines. Good tractors though.
