There's something to be said about that. I don't know anyone who owns a Branson or Mahindra, but at their price-point, I can't imagine there aren't a lot more around than I once thought. I drive green (JD), and have for pretty much my entire life. Started with a B and 70, moved on up to an 830, but also put a lot of hours on an early 70s JD 7025. Then moved into the late 70s and 80s with a 4430, 4630 with my latest being a 2006 JD 4120. Yeah, there have been a Case or two along the way, but JD ruled where I was raised.
On the Kioti/Bobcat line...I came close to buying a Bobcat painted tractor back around 2015. They are Kioti tractors painted white. Around then Kioti was having a bit of a tiff with Bobcat, so it was a HUGE concern when it came to finding even a damn oil filter, so I passed on the tractor and went with the JD 4120. It's a nice tractor for its size. I had the opportunity to spend a couple weeks in a similar level, but newer Kubota a couple years ago. The Kubota was nice, but its fit and finish leaved a lot to be desired on the cab. The sound-proofing foam constantly worked out of the trim, but initial thoughts were again positive. Note, the Kubota AC was very appreciated compared to my non-cabbed JD.
