When did they change the lettering?

[#40Fan]

New

Old

 

[#40Fan]

The answer would be this year....

Wonder why. The new lettering looks like old styling.

 

[BAP]

Looks like someone forgot to clean the nozzles on the printer and they have skips in the printing.

IF the name would be applied using a stencil and spray, the new style would eliminate the problems with the interior parts of the B, O and A.

I don't like the style. What was wrong with the old style? Change for the sake of change is sick. I can't see how this would attract anything but negative reviews from the core customer.

They probably changed it because of all the idiots that don't know how to spell Kubota, but I don't think it will help.

I think that may just be the computer generated image, looking at real pictures of 26’s for sale have the latest graphic design.

I got the picture of the new lettering off of Kubota's site.

I’m still not convinced that makes it true.

seems funny to me.
A few months back in Vegas at a trade show they had the old style used on their new "AI" line of tractors.
I vote for the new style if true.

Those marketing clowns gotta keep their jobs. They just re-imagine things every so often and justify their existence. Working in Sillycon Valley that is a big bucks gig.

It's the last BX23S I ever buy from them. I'll go green next time.

I feel like I won the lottery. My tractor lettering is ALL IN THE OLD FONT! It'll surely command a premium if I ever sell it.

If you like the tractor and hate the decals, you could do like my Dad did with one of his old Fords. Sort of wash it and kind of hit the paint a little with some steel wool, then have a day long project with your kids to brush paint the whole thing with exterior house paint. No need to remove decals, just paint over them. Then never, ever, ever wash it ever again. Between the dirt, grease, and house paint you won’t have to look at the crappy decals.

Who cares? Decals don’t make a tractor.

Get a rope!

Get a rope!

Yeah! Let's use that rope on the idiot that came us with this horrid decal design!
