Comparing an XT3 to a Kubota is ridiculous. Not even in the same ballpark.
The amount of people on this site interested in those new machines are so few, that it isn't worth the time to advertise. Heck, most of us would rather argue about what piles of junk the new stuff is, than anything.

So I think you missed the point. I was comparing the Cub Cadet 129 at the inflation price of $8981 to the Kubota at $11,715. I did that because today if you want to do the work the 129 was marketed for in the day, that is what you would get.
Also, a 1971 Ford F-150 cost $2,750 back in the day. So keep that in mind too.
I think the XT3 is a good for what it is. Not saying it is a utility tractor. And it is not a lawn tractor either. The price is good for what it is.
