I've pretty much narrowed my choice down to one of these machines. The TL8 is the cheapest and the TL10 is a little more than the JD323e. I prefer the Tak but the dealer is about a 40 minute drive from me and the Deere dealer is just a couple miles away. What is your opinions on the John Deere vs the Tak as far as quality, performance (i know the TL10 is a little bigger machine but the TL8 should be comparable) etc etc. The Deere is a vertical lift where both the Taks are radial. For my uses though I don't think it really matters. This will just mainly be used on the farm for feeding cattle, clearing brush and any other odd jobs I can find for it. And just in case anyone is wondering I have looked at the other brands and I'll quickly list why I'm not considering them:
Kubota - Priced the 75 and it was more than the TL8 and the Deere both and only a little less than the TL10. They don't have one in stock and it may be a month before they get another. Also I didn't know Kubotas don't have radios and are not wired for them.
Bobcat- They seemed to not really be interested in my business since I was only a private individual and not buying a few for a company. They priced me a 630 and it was the most expensive machine I have been quoted.
Case - Took me 2 days to be able to speak to the only guy that handles sales and then he never got back to me with a price. I called once again to see why and he was out again and not available and never received a call back. If it's that hard to get a price I definitely don't want to deal with that dealer and there are no others close.
These were the only brands with dealers near me.
