You are entitled to your opinion, and I don't really give a crap if you like me or ony of my opinions or habits. My life doesn't revolve around meeting your expectations. But, you can keep your insults and hate to yourself. I don't come on here and talk crap about you, and I'd appreciate it if you do the same.
Never been called that before, but have been called various and sundry names i won't repeat on this nice forum! I have two JD's and if and when i am ever able to buy another tractor it will be a JD. My friends/serious farmers up in Illinois, Ohio, and a large plantation in Alabama i guess assume the nickname of "Yuppi" as well, but I won't tell them. They take that stuff pretty seriously there, and i wouldn't want to start a nickname war with any of them!
Some other thoughts on the deere, I'd rather have a 4 series 4wd than a 5 series 2wd, I'd take the the 4wd. Personally I'd also rather have a 4 series with a cab than a 5 without, but that is a big swing in money. There is nothing wrong with Kubota until you get to the cabbed 75+hp tractors. I do feel if you demo a yanmar in that hp range thats most likely what you'll buy especially since they come with powershift transmissions not hydros. In that HP range a Case or New Holland is a LS, masseys are chinese, mahindras would be their design instead of Mitsubishi, and the rest would be the bottom of the bucket. Whatever you do, make sure you get a left hand reverser, once you go that way you won't go back even though I despise CNH left hand reversers.
That's part of the issue. JD makes so many different levels and equipment packages that it is sometimes hard to compare apples to apples.
You definitely won't regret it Jim!!
