Kubota is partnered with Land Pride- they offer some bundling discounts when buying a new tractor. Is the Land Pride line-up: Good, Better or Best when it comes to implements or would I be better off buying a different brand on the secondary market? More specifically- I’m looking for a tiller and rotary cutter but not limited to those two implements.

I would not hesitate to buy LandPride implements I will disagree with the hydrostatic drive though. Even the manager told me the manual trans with shuttle shift was the better choice. The hydro is nice no doubt, but the opportunity for failure is greatly increased. Meaning downtime and dollar signs

Maybe I read into it a little too much I guess but since he was talking Kabota and Land Pride equipment and asking the question he was I assumed he was talking a utility tractor to help with chores around the house (i.e. play toy) not to spend hours in the field everyday plowing ground and or doing field work like the Millennial Farmer. I mean he or anyone could buy an old Allis Chalmers WD-45 (or even a Minneapolis Moline maybe) and have a hand clutch with a gravity bucket front end loader I guess but having a front end loader with hydrostatic drive is 100 times better when working around the house than using a foot pedal clutch is what I was getting at... I guess it doesn't matter, someone is always going to disagree aren't they. I couldn't disagree with Ohioboy more. I drive a tractor 7 to8 hours a day. I hate hydrostatic drive. It's fine if your tractor is a play toy but if you are actually doing any serious work with it manual with a shuttle shift is the only way to go. Try bumping over a seriously bumpy field with hydrostatic and keeping the desired pressure on that pedal the whole time. Not gonna happen. A hand adjusted throttle is best for real work.
I have never used any of their implements but have also never heard anything bad about them.

Kubota owns land pride through Great Plains, bought them several years ago.

I spent 20 years just south east of Salina KS and all the Great Plains plants that make both lines are right there in a couple of small towns. The guys that I know who work there never leave and say the company is top notch and so are their implementations. I am happy to hear that the people who use their products think highly of them.

I got a Land Pride tiller with our Kubota. I think I would rate it about a 4 on scale up to 10. Seals started leaking after a few months. Maybe whoever assembled it didn't tighten up the nuts and bolts properly. We till a field with it and it goes down about 4 inches max on first pass. The Maschio I used to have was a much better tiller.
My fear of moving stairs is escalating!

My land pride tiller was a problem child from the time I bought it. Kept eating up the shaft housing. Finally traded it for a Rhino. More expensive but no problems since.

I hope you go with hydrostatic transmission. We use a king litter tiller which I believe are made in Gallopolis, Ohio. Not sure if I got the spelling of Gallopolis correct or not.
