The problem is if everyone buys deere the others brand will close and you have no more options and john deere will, like others company,to drive the market in every way they want

The best tractor is the one that has the best support network locally. If the dealership has parts or can get them quickly and keep a farmer up and running it doesn’t matter what color the tractor is

Well if the government would protect farmers right to repair, and not allow companies to get a monopoly over the repair of the machinery none of that matters.
Yup 😂. We love ours. My bud has one that I'm not sure how old it is but definitely older than us, grille is made out of chicken wire, throttle is a piece of PVC pipe, clutch is a piece of rebar welded to what's left of the original, exhaust is held on with baling wire, and every hydraulic cylinder leaks like hell but runs like a top every damn time
I do basement water proofing, customer had over 9 feet of water in basement. Fast forward we were waterproofing it after it was repaired cleaned and refinished. They had a kubota literally submerged in water for at least a couple days. They called, kubota sent a dude out and he fixed it free of charge and it still runs like new. Solid machinery for sure and excellent customer service

I have no idea about farming but I’m interested in learning about the whole operation out of curiosity. What does he mean when he uses colors to describe them?
@@Felis-Concolor colour is related to brands. Though some overlap. Case, Massey Ferguson and International being red, John Deere being green, New Holland blue, JCBs yellow, and Lamborghini is silver. There are many other brands and other colours.
Then you’re not a real farmer. Real farmers buy what works best for their application, not based on what color it is. If you’re going solely off of brand you’ll be the farmer that files bankruptcy
No kidding dude. I've only owned Toyotas and Hondas and I'm looking forward to having them forever. Looking at a Kubota sub compact tractor for my property too.
In our 1950’s farm community, we knew everyone by the tractor brands they used. We were fortunate to have several good dealerships nearby, so you could realistically own anything you wanted. We were Oliver (the other green tractor) and MM folks, but lots of farmers owned Case, AC, IH, JD, Ford, and even Cockshutt. Later in the ‘60s, we even had a British Leyland dealership nearby. I remember my dad liking them. Honestly, I believe they were all good tractors if maintained. I once broke through the pond ice with our MM diesel, sinking her to seat/tank level. Got her pulled out with the Oliver and Minnie started right back up! Damn, I wish I could go back and pull those big 3-16” bottom plows again!
It’s funny to me because everyone around here bragged for the longest time about how everything that had was John Deere. Then the tobacco contracts starting disappearing and now everyone brags about how they’re actually really impressed with Kubota lol
The most reliable tractors we had were old Fordson Majors. We used to do road making and resurfacing on farms. Them machines just kept going. We changed the engine oil 🛢️ regularly, and greased every week. We had a couple with front loaders and even had one with an air compressor fixed directly onto the PTO, quite rare now. Good 🚜 tractors. Good memories 👍🇬🇧
I just bought 7 acres and I've been looking for a compact tractor that has high versatility (cut grass, grade gravel and dirt, skid a log, dig a post hole, etc). Kubota has popped up over and over from various homesteaders and farming channels. I'm gonna take this as a sign 😂
My grandpa has two old ford tractors and I swear they are from the 70s and they start up every time even without a year of running and they run really good. It was the first tractor I ever drove when I was about 7 years old
I used to work on a custom harvest crew the guy ran mf 9790s at the time they broke down a lot but they were easy to work on and you could keep parts you needed under the seat😂
We got kinze planter, red and green tractors and a green combine. Just got our first green tractor because the red dealer wouldn’t call us back. Now he knows we mean business
I have two 1949 ford 8n’s chore boys, both are daily users, easy to operate, easy to keep, easy to service, and the best part…$2000 bucks bought both of them!
I’d say the big reason you see all green or all red is how easy it is with the tech side to just plug everything in with no adapters, or problems with communication through canbus/isobus. Even our operation is older equipment but as we update everything is getting more and more green cause it’s the best local dealer and the ease of having one system to teach people
@BusyBeeFarms planters nowadays are so customizable and have so many aftermarket options that you can really make any color planter do what you want. It come down to how finicky they are and how easy they are to work on. The kinze is a much nicer machine to work with. However, I will say our 2 NT planters are a bit more consistent with spacing and population. I also prefer Greenstar and the deere monitors over the precision, but that is really just a personal thing.
I've run tractors most of my life (48 years) and have used all colors of the rainbow. The old International 1466 will fire up every season with a fresh battery, and pulls a 16 foot disc like its not there! I use a Kubota for the small to medium stuff, its a tank. Its my experience that the GUY driving the tractor and knows his stuff will make any piece of equipment work, regardless of color. Green is a very expensive color though for my blood... 😉
While my answer is my John Deere 1953 Model 70 row crop, the real answer is what ever tractor has enough power to do the job right AND you feel comfortable operating. Doesn't matter brand, age, tech. So long as your comfortable doing it, you will learn the strength and weaknesses of the vehical and use it to its full advantage.
@@IkeCoblentz I live a couple miles from a Claas factory. Right is the middle of the US. I think they produce harvesters at it. I always thought it was odd I've never seen one in a field here.
I’ve heard good things about fendt tractors, but I’ve heard that the combines are less than impressive in terms of reliability and such. Never tried one though so I can’t say for sure.
Best because they don't care about you buying specialty parts only they make, and can only get by going to them, big bud makes stuff as close to fully self serviceable as is possible
@mattiOTX rice !?! wow, I would have never thought that. any problems with salinity in the water ? I'm curious about ag in Texas ,as I'm a Californian exiled to Texas ( not that kind of Californian, as I say " the problem with California is its full of people not from California) in the central valley of California, the ground water can be a little salty, so they plant eucalyptus trees to drink it up , which normally eucalyptus is planted for a wind break, especially along the coast in ventura/Oxnard areas where they grow strawberries. The greatest compliment I've received from you Texans was at a bar outside of San Antonio was " are you sure you were born in California? you seem more like a Texan " I thanked them for the kind words and replied " yes I'm quite sure of where I exiled the womb, and you know what , for easterners, you people are OK in my book " chuckles were had all around, and I've never have had more drinks without paying for a one. Texas and its people make me a better person.
@@diviningrod2671 tbh SE Texas is a lot like Louisiana as we have a great many lakes, creeks, and swamps including alligators. The water tends not to be salty, do have to check the soil at times because we run a bit on the alkaline side but it's not to much to adjust. Lots of good fishing down here if that's something you enjoy. Most of our water runs down from east Texas through our area so we normally only see brackish water really close to the coast. And let me say, welcome to Texas.
@mattiOTX thank you for the kind words. my new Texas brother's want me to take up fishing and I've yet to visit that part of Texas, as I'm in Austin, which is like a mini Los Angeles, at times even more liberal . it's an incredible state, and the hospitality is something I had never experienced before, as it's very different where I grew up .( really it's more hostile where I grew up )
Holy s**t, the first farmer with the right state of mind. I know a guy that will only buy green equipment if it runs or not rather than get a different colour for half the price, puts out more horsepower and starts 100% of the time
@karlboekdrukker I believe they are easier on straw quality (wheat and oats) than full rotor machines. Also impressed with the radiator/cooling system. Blows air down along the sides, keeping engine cleaner and less risk for fires.
@@darrenbauer9596 also the New Hollands have the same cooling system now where the air is being blown to the bottom of the machine to keep the engine and fan clean
@@thechasecomplex Not if you need it that night you wouldn't. They know farmers need things asap, so they jack up the price and get away with it because there is no other option than having a working machine. They've got us in checkmate
Sitting in the tractor mulching cotton and watching these clips makes it way more interesting. I’m not a Green person but I can see 7 set of lights around me and I know they’re all green. No one tractor is the best, and just because there are more of one doesn’t not make it the best either. Most farmer I know have never even driven other brands and are stuck in old ways(definitely a generational thing). But personally, the most versatile tractor iv used is a Fendt 942 Gen7.
I worked in a tractor dealership. I was just amazed at the amount of "stupidity engineering" that went into the design of these tractors. Case in point, the muffler is at the bottom of an open exhaust stack. It collects rain water and rusts out the base of the muffler. That part is wicked expensive if you can get it. We had a customer to took his out and filled the bottom with concrete. It lasted for years and didn't drive him nuts with exhaust noise in the cab. They use plastic for fuel tanks, plastic for water tanks, plastic for oil tanks and these tractors sit outside in 110 degree days and sub freezing nights. The plastic get brittle. They crack. They are wicked expensive to replace.
We got a case ih 1896 pushing just under 30k hours, and it’s been great but, my nod goes to 7100, 7200, and 8900 series magnum tractors. As long as you keep the rear end oil level up, the international style transmissions go forever, and were copied in some form or another by everybody. Most new power shifts just use an electronically modulated version now.
The best most dependable tractor I have ever owned is a 1984 Kubota M4020 6cyl. My dad bought it the day I was born lol. The next day he came in to the hospital and had her to sign papers for a new Dodge Ram 1500. She told the doctor to get her the hell out of there 😂. I have bought 3 4020 since then they are great tractors
100% correct on the kubota. There's a little 32hp one with a loader on my farm thats been used for forestry. It's ropey, has bits hanging off, has monumental hours, the loader is bent and has dragged entire trees amongst other things it had no business being able to do. But it starts every time and doesn't miss a beat until you turn it off.👍
Before Kubota was the mainstay of a cattle farmer utility tractor, ford had some of the best small to medium tractors on the market. Nothing beat a Ford 6610 for general purpose back in the day
The best tractor is the one you can afford and will do as many jobs on the farm as possible and either stay running for a long time or is easy and cost effective enough to fix.
I'm absolutely in love with the international large crow crop tractor with tires on the front and tracks on the back, also like the old tractors with track conversion on old 2WD, looks so cool
Let’s all be totally honest, it really comes down to dealer support. If you have a good dealer working with you that’s 85% of it. They all break and it’s never at a good time, get it back up and running timely and don’t charge outrageous labor and that’s the best thing. At least in my opinion
this is exactly the same situation i come across in farm sim 22 i love them kinze planters but they don’t look nice on that green tractor but damn sure gonna use a kubota if im running animal pens! keep it up guys your feeding america by doing your job!
I finaly found a good deal on my dream tractor but I bought 3 of them. All JD high crops 1 2520 and 2 3020 he also gave me a good deal on a JD 900c offset cultivator because I had to have them shipped from Louisiana to Ky
Yellow combines seem to burn up more. Had 3 yellows in our area burn last fall. Our farm is Case combines, tillage, and quadtrac. Row crop tractors and planters are John Deere. I feel John Deere guidance and monitors are steps above Case.
I, unironically, with no engineering or farm experience, would love to start up a farm equipment company. Range of sizes, easy to repair with OEM replacement parts available. Affordably priced and customisable for the farmers needs. Most of the profit will come from parts and service/training centres. Wanna repair yourself? We'll teach you. Dont got time? We got a guy for that. Could also have a rental yard for those smaller farms who just need that combine once a year kinda deal.
This dudes a farmer but how intelligently he navigates questions removing any potential for a lawsuit or flack from companies and his overall awareness is impressive like the video where he talks about turning down the hog barn ideas ge knows the banks want to make you accrue tons of debt to get the farm in working shape and then they seize it all back when you can’t make payments. Guess what you did all the hard work for them now they got a brand new farm to flip for even more profit. Even just referring to the brands by colors.

in the central valley of California, the ground water can be a little salty, so they plant eucalyptus trees to drink it up , which normally eucalyptus is planted for a wind break, especially along the coast in ventura/Oxnard areas where they grow strawberries.
The greatest compliment I've received from you Texans was at a bar outside of San Antonio was " are you sure you were born in California? you seem more like a Texan "
I thanked them for the kind words
and replied " yes I'm quite sure of where I exiled the womb, and you know what , for easterners, you people are OK in my book "
chuckles were had all around, and I've never have had more drinks without paying for a one.
Texas and its people make me a better person.
@@diviningrod2671 tbh SE Texas is a lot like Louisiana as we have a great many lakes, creeks, and swamps including alligators. The water tends not to be salty, do have to check the soil at times because we run a bit on the alkaline side but it's not to much to adjust. Lots of good fishing down here if that's something you enjoy. Most of our water runs down from east Texas through our area so we normally only see brackish water really close to the coast. And let me say, welcome to Texas.
@mattiOTX thank you for the kind words. my new Texas brother's want me to take up fishing and I've yet to visit that part of Texas, as I'm in Austin, which is like a mini Los Angeles, at times even more liberal .
it's an incredible state, and the hospitality is something I had never experienced before, as it's very different where I grew up .( really it's more hostile where I grew up )
Massey Ferguson seems to do pretty well for us, just moving stuff, pushing and pulling posts mostly. Could use that thing much harder than we do.
Holy s**t, the first farmer with the right state of mind. I know a guy that will only buy green equipment if it runs or not rather than get a different colour for half the price, puts out more horsepower and starts 100% of the time
Great picks. Lexion is going to be the next combine I get. And Kobota is a great loader tractor.
Any particular reason you'd get the Claas instead of a New Holland? Just curious
@karlboekdrukker I believe they are easier on straw quality (wheat and oats) than full rotor machines. Also impressed with the radiator/cooling system. Blows air down along the sides, keeping engine cleaner and less risk for fires.
@@darrenbauer9596 that’s true, New Holland has amazing grain quality tho
@@darrenbauer9596 also the New Hollands have the same cooling system now where the air is being blown to the bottom of the machine to keep the engine and fan clean
I always wanted a Lamborghini tractor. They founded their company long ago making farm equipment and they never stopped.
Uh, have you watched Clarkson's Farm? Jeremy Clarkson bought a used monster Lambo tractor, and promptly had problems with it.
@@machinist7230 Yeah, but Deere, Kubota, New Holland and all the other big boys have problems too. Lol
I've always thought they would make for a very cool competition pulling tractor.
@@machinist7230because he bought a German-spec tractor and doesn't read German😂
@Edgar Pryor that would be pretty cool to say to random people you got the fastest Lamborghini out there
The best Tractors are the ones that start and run all day.
Cattle guy. Can confirm. Orange.
Bro fr Kubota makes some insane quality small to mid size tractors
my complaint is that both kubota and deere gouge you on parts ,I ordered a part for my kubota from Europe it was 60$ ,at the US dealer it was 600$ .
Gladly pay pricy shipping if it’s like that
@@thechasecomplex Not if you need it that night you wouldn't.
They know farmers need things asap, so they jack up the price and get away with it because there is no other option than having a working machine.
They've got us in checkmate
Kubota is cheap with parts
Learning so much about the struggles of farmers . I'm Australian we love our farmers .
I’m in the middle of a city and will likely never encounter any of these tractors, but dear God I love hearing these dudes talk about them
There is reason that John Deere is painted Green. Because when they break down you can't find it
Yep my husband has green planter, red quad track and yellow combine.
Glad to see the farm across the street with 2500 dairy cows starting to diversify their tractors and implements. 15 years ago they were all green.
Old international stuff and old fords are what I run the most. Pre 1985 ih stuff was the best
It’s like hearing 95% of woman describing the car they drive! “Oh I drive the blue one over there with the wheels”
Sitting in the tractor mulching cotton and watching these clips makes it way more interesting. I’m not a Green person but I can see 7 set of lights around me and I know they’re all green. No one tractor is the best, and just because there are more of one doesn’t not make it the best either. Most farmer I know have never even driven other brands and are stuck in old ways(definitely a generational thing). But personally, the most versatile tractor iv used is a Fendt 942 Gen7.
Talking about tractors like cool-aid…definitely love’s tractors
Still lots of older equipment around I like the oliver and case,international, versatile, stieger, massey
I know shit all about farming, but after watching these guys talk, and hearing their experiences, I’m thinking I want in.
I prefer the red combine with the yellow stripes. It gives +10 fire resistance as well as boosting damage 5%
TH-cam is full of 100 year-old tractors being brought back to life, I can't see any of the modern tractors lasting that length of time.
I worked in a tractor dealership. I was just amazed at the amount of "stupidity engineering" that went into the design of these tractors. Case in point, the muffler is at the bottom of an open exhaust stack. It collects rain water and rusts out the base of the muffler. That part is wicked expensive if you can get it. We had a customer to took his out and filled the bottom with concrete. It lasted for years and didn't drive him nuts with exhaust noise in the cab. They use plastic for fuel tanks, plastic for water tanks, plastic for oil tanks and these tractors sit outside in 110 degree days and sub freezing nights. The plastic get brittle. They crack. They are wicked expensive to replace.
Gleaners are badass combines
We got a case ih 1896 pushing just under 30k hours, and it’s been great but, my nod goes to 7100, 7200, and 8900 series magnum tractors. As long as you keep the rear end oil level up, the international style transmissions go forever, and were copied in some form or another by everybody. Most new power shifts just use an electronically modulated version now.
Case tops everything, new technology they have been working on is crazy!
The best most dependable tractor I have ever owned is a 1984 Kubota M4020 6cyl. My dad bought it the day I was born lol. The next day he came in to the hospital and had her to sign papers for a new Dodge Ram 1500. She told the doctor to get her the hell out of there 😂. I have bought 3 4020 since then they are great tractors
100% correct on the kubota. There's a little 32hp one with a loader on my farm thats been used for forestry. It's ropey, has bits hanging off, has monumental hours, the loader is bent and has dragged entire trees amongst other things it had no business being able to do. But it starts every time and doesn't miss a beat until you turn it off.👍
“If you’re a cattle guy and that tractor is going to die on your farm, Kubota.”
The accuracy of this statement has me laughing my ass off.
#1 way to get sponsored by all the farm equipment companies right here 🤣
This guy looks like he knows something big is coming
One that's paid off and still running.
Before Kubota was the mainstay of a cattle farmer utility tractor, ford had some of the best small to medium tractors on the market. Nothing beat a Ford 6610 for general purpose back in the day
Claas combines are class 🔥
love how when he said he likes "them yellow" combines, the picture was of a yellow claas 😂
I grew up with mostly red stuff but we had a 1970 JD 3020. That thing needed repair more often then the red ones but it is still in use today.
The best tractor is the one you can afford and will do as many jobs on the farm as possible and either stay running for a long time or is easy and cost effective enough to fix.
I'm absolutely in love with the international large crow crop tractor with tires on the front and tracks on the back, also like the old tractors with track conversion on old 2WD, looks so cool
Tractor 🚜 companies are smart to pick the same color for their products !
Standardizing parts is good for stock, $$$, emergency, and how-to etc.
Fun fact Kinze was initially made from John Deere row units there was a big law suit over it
The best tractor the dream tractor is the one that don't break down often is easy to fix and parts are readily available
there's a novel out where Iowa has only two ginormous farms farming the entire state.
Let’s all be totally honest, it really comes down to dealer support. If you have a good dealer working with you that’s 85% of it. They all break and it’s never at a good time, get it back up and running timely and don’t charge outrageous labor and that’s the best thing. At least in my opinion
this is exactly the same situation i come across in farm sim 22 i love them kinze planters but they don’t look nice on that green tractor but damn sure gonna use a kubota if im running animal pens! keep it up guys your feeding america by doing your job!
Case for combines no brainer. Very reliable hillsides too!
We've been running our orange one, replacing maintenance items and parts we break from being reckless. It's a tank.
I finaly found a good deal on my dream tractor but I bought 3 of them. All JD high crops 1 2520 and 2 3020 he also gave me a good deal on a JD 900c offset cultivator because I had to have them shipped from Louisiana to Ky
Yellow combines seem to burn up more. Had 3 yellows in our area burn last fall.
Our farm is Case combines, tillage, and quadtrac. Row crop tractors and planters are John Deere. I feel John Deere guidance and monitors are steps above Case.
4 Fords, a SAME, 2 John Deere and a few Farmalls, we keep it diverse at our place
Dream tractor is the one that’s paid for!
He was right about the kubotas. Resell value ain’t as good as say a deer but good ol kubotas will run forever they never die.
I, unironically, with no engineering or farm experience, would love to start up a farm equipment company.
Range of sizes, easy to repair with OEM replacement parts available. Affordably priced and customisable for the farmers needs.
Most of the profit will come from parts and service/training centres. Wanna repair yourself? We'll teach you. Dont got time? We got a guy for that.
Could also have a rental yard for those smaller farms who just need that combine once a year kinda deal.
And old Ford tractor is a great yard tractor. Its like they never die. Old Ford 5000 from the 70's still working hard daily.
This dudes a farmer but how intelligently he navigates questions removing any potential for a lawsuit or flack from companies and his overall awareness is impressive like the video where he talks about turning down the hog barn ideas ge knows the banks want to make you accrue tons of debt to get the farm in working shape and then they seize it all back when you can’t make payments. Guess what you did all the hard work for them now they got a brand new farm to flip for even more profit. Even just referring to the brands by colors.
My favorite thing to do when the county fair happens is look at the tractors
