I've heard John Deere sucks but was just on equipment trader and it seemed like everything for sale was either case or caterpillar. Very few JD or kubota or anything else.
Opinions please including estimated annual maintenance, insurance, etc., costs.
Looking at a midsize mostly for digging ditches but also want to be able to move material which is why I don't want a mini ex. I need it just enough to make me think hard about getting one but not really enough for it to make financial sense. Plumber by trade but I have other occasional uses.
