I do own "other" brands of stuff, but I grew up farming with IH. We've (my family) had Cub Cadets since they came out in 1961. (Ok.... we may not have bought a '61, but you get the idea.) For me, IH is the first choice. I do have a lot of respect for a lot of other brands. For example, I don't think there is a better compact on the market than the New Holland's. They trump Kubota AFAIC. But, I'm a mechanic and experienced machine operator, so I have my reasons for my choices. Some things I like because they are more ergonomic/easy to operate. Some things I like because they are easy to work on. Some things are both...... Like the little yellow and white tractors that I keep accruing!!
