Top 5? Probably likely the same as it was 5 years ago. With the exception Kubota has slipped because of their awful emissions problems.

Kubota has some bad emissions stuff going on. They all have their problems, I'll stay with Bobcat. I just don't care for the feel of the Cat controls at all. I like Case/NH even less, Deere is the worst IMO for control.
I've never ran a Tak. Closest dealer is 300 miles away, so they are pretty much out.

It depends on everyone's specific location and the dealers in their area. Just because a specific brand may be better, the dealer could be too far away or that dealer could be terrible to deal with. There's different criteria for determining what's the best or even the top 5. Also one brand could have 1 machine that's great and another machine that's nothing but problems.
I thought the Kubota emissions problems were with the larger machines? The under 75hp Kubota stuff seems pretty reliable, at least in my experience. I do know of a couple guys with SVL95's that have been battling problems with the DEF system.
Don’t buy rubber wheeled tracks ASV is trash, buy CAT with steel wheel and track
