    Giving Up on Buying a New Kubota

    Follow up. Six dealers with now luck finding the LX I was looking for. Driving past Alexandria, MN the end of last month and needing a driving break I exit to get gas. I see the Kubota dealership and drive past to see what they might have, it’s just after 7am and they’re not open yet. In the...

    Giving Up on Buying a New Kubota

    Didn’t realize Ford made a standard cab short box any more. Raptor maybe? Thank you. Called the Wausau store and they have in stock 95% of what I need. Just need to pull inventory from a couple different stores.

    Just added 16x36 this past yr. My agreement with my wife “nothing sits outside”. if I’m building roll cages, custom frames or something like that the tubes come in 20’. The main loop will start at 16, at least, ’and when you start bending you need the sq ft. My JD2 is a horizontal setup versus...

    Giving Up on Buying a New Kubota

    You hit the nail on the head. I was ready to pull the trigger on the JD just before I paused and thought I’d better just take another look at the LX again. The loader uses a common two lever release system for the bucket. I can get the blank plates that allow me to fabricate my own...

    Giving Up on Buying a New Kubota

    The tractor availability is there and many options as well. Lack of information provided to the dealer network on availability of parts and accessories is the problem. It doesn’t matter the dealership Kubota doesn’t provide any information to them and I confirmed it. This isn’t a complaint...

    Doesn’t have to be. Most major corporations in the county have a staff that monitors forum conversations for public relations purposes.

    Giving Up on Buying a New Kubota

    Too funny. My BX was the unicorn at the time and seems like every other manufacturer followed the trend. I only have 2300 sq ft and eighty percent of that is for fabricating. The focus in my shop isn’t storage or the tractor, it’s making “one of”. I make my own part, my own tools and do...

    Giving Up on Buying a New Kubota

    My old handle apparently expired so I create a new. This is the Kubota sight and for that reason they (Kubota) should know what the feedback is. Seems like everything there goes in deaf ears. I know Kubota watches this sight the same way every other major company in the country watches the...

    Giving Up on Buying a New Kubota

    Five different dealership and each is held up by Kubota allocation. Most have the snowblowers but no driveline to run it and some have tractors. The sales guys are like “can’t tell you when we might see it because Kubota doesn’t tell us anything” and sure enough I contacted Kubota multiple...

    Giving Up on Buying a New Kubota

    Yup. I buy a new machine, I’ll sell what I have and I’m not using a plow or bucket to clear.

    Giving Up on Buying a New Kubota

    I don’t want to use anymore space than necessary in my shop. Can’t keep equipment outside. I also still want to be able to use an enclosed trailer.

    The L3560 is a foot long and wider. I’m. Looking for more PTO hp and loader lift capacity while minimizing the overall footprint.

    Giving Up on Buying a New Kubota

    “Footprint”. How much space will this occupy and I won’t buy another tractors without a cab. Currently have a fully loaded BX with less the backhoe. This is not a need for me but a want. I worked my butt off the last few years and this was going to be my reward. Probably going to look at the JD...
