I notice that people come on here for the most part when they have issues. Never seen a post where the poster is praising the product.

What say you?

Just an observation on my part. Nothing more.

I suppose there's some truth in that, but there are lots of posts in which people describe their projects and rave about how capable & reliable their equipment is, how much work they save, and how they don't know how they got along before they got their Kubota. I know I have posted such things. And even though I've had a few mechanical problems with mine, I'm incredibly impressed with how long it has lasted & how few problems there have been, considering how it was mistreated & poorly maintained before I bought it.
My B7100 is named Brutus the Beast, because I'm constantly amazed with how much work the little guy does so effortlessly.

Now Arizona Kubota dealers are a whole different subject, don't get me started on them.:mad::rolleyes:

Well after all this is a help forum but that being said I've read many times where people wondered how they ever did without their Kubota's, myself included. I guess what really comes to mind is the help I received last year when trying to decide on whether or not to buy a grapple. Well I can tell you I feel the same about it after using it this week as I do about my Kubota. Great forum, great people and one great tractor.

I'll bet you can not find a negative post on here about the piranha tooth bar. Always, guys are tooting their horn about how much better they make their tractor.

Flip, if you'd seen some of the Kubotas I've worked on you quickly realize it has to be a love of the tractor to even start on it. So coming here the negative gets expressed only as a means to get it going properly! Negatives are not necessarily bad, it's just your perception.:D

What appears to be a negative to some is actually a positive about how the tractor was built and lasted with improper maintenance.

I love my rtv, its coming up on five years old and has never let me down. Whether taking the trash cans down to the road, pulling trees around for firewood, loading up stuff, dumping stuff. Its been a beast.
My L2501 is coming up on 8 months old, still learning, but it has saved my back from shoveling snow, pulled my stuck truck out of an icy patch, moved tons of gravel, graded and spread gravel on my road. With its new piranha bar it has been a beast a well. Now im eyeing a new box blade and a grapple.
Oh and one cooler thing, pulled my neighbors john deere out of a mud bog ditch he got stuck in.
Life has been good with my Kubota's.

WOW! Torch hit the nail on the head. If 5000 posts of what people are doing on their tractor is not praise for a product then I cannot imagine what would be. Also, there are many people that have posted how they improved or modified their tractors to get more work out of it. I would say that if people take the time to post their modifications that they are really saying how much they love their machines.
