The first official Kubota tractors came to Canada in 1976. I set up a L225dt for the town of Durham Ontario that year. they used it for sidewalk snow clearance. We installed a loader and attached the snowblower instead of a bucket with a long driveshaft to the rear of the tractor. I put chains from the loader to the front axle to keep the snowblower from going to high and pulling the driveshaft apart! Just a little trivia! I wonder where that machine is now?
