[QUOTE="-Pjackso, post: 3757349, member: 8119"] If your budget is $10K, you are definitely buying mid-grade equipment. (i.e. not entry level) At that level - most everything will be comparable in terms of construction and quality - and I don't think your find much (if any) significant differences. My recommendations, in order: 1) The warranty timeline (x-yrs) is very carefully chosen by the manufacturer, and for very good reasons (based on engineering reliability data). This factor should be strongly considered. 2) Identify what established dealers are local with a good parts inventory department. You will need spare parts, and sometimes online shipping takes too long. 3) Pick the color of tractor you like best. (I didn't say BRAND - because they're mostly equal) Note: I'm discussing functional differences in the equipment. If you're concerned about 'cup-holders' stuff - well, .....that's just silly stuff in my opinion. Good luck!
