<div style="background-color:#FFFFFF">When I was looking at a small compact tractor, I had a choice between a Kubota 39 horse or a Mahindra 40 horse. I drove both and liked them both, Kubota makes a nice machine. When we sat down to talk numbers, the salesman,
(same dealership franchise) said if I liked them both he would opt for the year older Mahindra with a Tier III engine vs the Kubota that had a Tier IV engine. Mind you this was at least 5 years ago, but he said that the Tier IV engines where coming in with
problems his techs did not have the knowledge or equipment to fix. If they are not run hard, they go into regen mode and you have to put them at full throttle and let it run that way for 30 minutes to clean the filter. Not sure if this is still the case,
I suspect not, but at the time it made my choice easy. My Tier III is all mechanical, which means that if I can't fix it any diesel mechanic would have no problem with it, no electronics or computer for the engine.

<p>Not being a farmer but a maintenance mechanic who repairs all manner of items I’ve read with interest the comments on this list about “Right to repair” and the big manufacturers. Today’s NY Times has an editorial on just that as it relates to the military.
Our tax dollars at work, against us. Not sure, you may need a subscription to read but jeez, what a mess. Send equipment back to the States from the battlefield because the Marines can’t repair their equipment.
