What Kind of Tractor Should I buy? Is John Deere the best kind of tractor? Or does Kubota make the best tractor for the hobby farmer?
Tractor Mike worked in the tractor business for decades. He has seen tractors get better and better over time, and his pick for best tractor…
Tractor Mike says “Find the dealer you get along with and you trust and buy what they are selling”.
The quality of small tractors these days are exceptional. 10 years ago you needed to be pickier. Nowadays most small tractors are a great.
Don’t get too attached to a certain brand. Instead find the dealer you want to keep working with over time, and buy from them.
Once you pick your brand, you will need to decide if you want to get a deluxe model or the more basic model. Mike says when it comes to getting what you pay for, if you can afford the deluxe models you will not be disappointed.

I like how you mentioned that small tractors are good! My dad works on a farm and last week his old tractor broke down and he is need of getting a new one. I’ll make sure to pass this information along to him as he searches for one to buy!
My husband has been planning to purchase three tractors for his farm. I guess you’re right when we start canvassing for tractors we should find a dealer that we’ll be able to work with overtime. I’ll make sure to discuss these things with him, so he’ll be able to decide already.
