Because the quality is much lower. The tractor is meant to be used near capacity for thousands of hours. Lada not so much. Lada is known to rust easily, John Deer is known for quality...
Also, you are comparing two different spectrums. Maybe compare against very good farm equipment in Russia?
- samplatt 8y agoI'm seeing a lot of "John Deer == Quality" comments in this thread. My farming background says "John Deer == artificially (and insanely) expensive maintenance". I've always equated JD with just being one of the biggest players, not necessarily a reflection of good quality.
- grzm 8y agoThat said, we had no issues with the John Deere trackers we had. Same with IH, for that matter.
- jessaustin 8y ago...no issues... You've been fortunate with your tractors. IME, even "quality" brands like Deere and IH often have infuriating issues for which one eventually learns to compensate. It's good to talk to a few people before buying anything. My dad has a guy he always calls who owns a tractor auction, and can be trusted to tell the truth about different models. Ceteris paribus, I would just get a Kubota.
