Where I work in the 70's and 80's we sold the Deutz and Mitsubishi tractors. The Mitsubishi tractors were good small tractors but the drive train of the Deutz of the same size was much heavier. We had a customer who broke the 4wd top center pivoton the housing. This was on a 30 hp tractor and on the 40 hp Deutz (the smallest they had with 4wd) in the same area the casting was 3 times thicker. From what I have seen the Western European tractors are usually stronger. For the work you will be doing I would rather have the tractor with heavier castings Follow Ups: Post A Followup Name: E-Mail: Subject: Re: Re: Kubota vs Valtra Comments: Optional Link URL: Link Title: Optional Image URL: Email Notification: If you check this box, email will be sent to you whenever someone replies to this message.
