Looking at B5200DT, serial number 51431. Can you tell from that if this tractor is a Grey Market one. Concerned about being able to obtain, and install a ROPS. Kubota website said B5200 imported 1983, and later, are not Grey Market. How would I confirm date of import? Thanks for any information you can provide.

Not a grey market tractor. What gives you the inclination it is?
Thanks Bill and D2Cat for response! I have made an error in identifying this unit. Groan!

It is a B5100DT with serial number B5001-51431. Labels in English and French.
Engine: Z500-1A.

Bill,. I pulled the "B5100" off the plate, and the serial number off the chassis. This is what has me more confused than usual.

Re: B5200 question

There was a fluke that a lot of B5100,B6100,B7100, had serial number plates that say B5001,B6001,B7001, they are not alway greys.
I have 2 different B7100 HST's both new versions, one has B7001-XXXXX and the other has B7100-XXXXX but they are both Not Grey units.

Do yourself a favor when you order the ROPS and they ask for the serial Number say B5100-51431 to the parts guy, because they too will think if it starts with the B5001...it's automatically a grey, some aren't the brightest light bulbs in the box.

It's not a grey, proof is off of Kubota's site, if it was a grey the serial# would not match up!

If you have a labels in English and French then you are good. It is the labels in Japanese that should evoke caution.

Don't always believe what you read on the internet. like the charts above, some numbers are correct and others wrong.
