If you are referring to the tractor, my complaint is just kidding. I am like a kid with a new toy. I love the hydraulic grapple. I am getting too old to lift downed logs and stumps. Last year she got me a new pickup. I have been married 49 in September, all to the same great wife. She is not into fishing, but encourages me, even week long trips, while she stays home and quilts. Pretty hard to ask for more.

Kubota. I looked at a similar Deere, but it was $7000 more. I could deal with that, but John Deere parts service and labor are out of this world in comparison. In the 10 or max 15 years I have left (optimistic) getting on a tractor, I will save thousands just in service not to mention parts. If green and yellow means quality, they sure blew it on my lawn tractor. What the h%## they both have foreign engines. Made in America only means assembled in America now days. Well, actually, made in America means you need both metric and standard wrenches. At any rate, It is a lot more comfortable than my 72 year old ford 8n and 50 year old Oliver and will do the work of both with nearly twice the horsepower of either one at 56 HP

I had a 18 year old Kubota BX 22 with 60" deck, backhoe and front end loader. Looked goofy as all get out cutting the lawn. Did a lot of jobs with the hoe and the bucket, paid for its self in about 3 years.
When i sold the house the buyer wanted the tractor and my kayak with the deal. Nope that will cost you, X for the house and X for the goodies as an extra. I feel like i sold my heart with those two losses.
Loved the no reverse shift feature on the BX 22. Other then hoses leaking that was a work horse machine.
