of course there is. it's not hard to find a straightforward tractor that's easy for any third-party mechanic to do repairs on. that's basically kubota's whole sales pitch.
but Deeres are still popular. turns out that all the complicated software stuff is actually helpful, and some farmers want to buy it. even if a bunch of people on the internet who've never touched a tractor in real life think they shouldn't.
- throwaway0a5e 4y agoKubota doesn't have the breadth of product that Deere does especially at the large end. Doosan kind of does under their various brands but they don't really compete that hard in the agricultural sector and I don't know if their repair parts and software ecosystem is more or less locked down than Deere.

- notatoad 4y agoplenty of real working farmers agree, sure. but they mostly just buy something else and get on with their lives.
