I own 2 Kubota tractors and my son has one. Wanting to find a "child size" electric kubota for 5 year old grandson. Does Kubota make such a thing? Tons of chinese junk that he would outgrow too soon. Would like something he can ride until he is at least 8 and his legs long enough to run the B7100.
Kubota electric for kids
- Thread starter endoscott
- Start date
When my grandkids were five and six I bought them the John Deere battery operated gator from walmart. It lasted them 3 years. Put a couple batteries in it during that time. It was a great machine and they could actually do a few little chores with it. They hauled chicken feed and grass clippings for me. The only thing I know Kubota sells is the little pedal tractors. They are as much as the battery operated gator. as the battery operated gator.

That kid needs the backhoe! Where is @Runs With ScissorsNah, the 1880 would be perfect size. Only $20 grand with loader and belly mower. You can watch them work for you. Come on, you have deep pockets.
Leave the cannoli
Get a few rattle cans of orange Krylon for plastic, masking tape and go to town. They come in several colors... but not orange. Red is close.
Maybe even get some Kubota stickers from the dealer...

Not that it matters, but I'm not a fan of the BX slams.
Some are just too proud of their giant compact tractors. LOL. Which are simple toys compared to real tractors. IT never ends until the biggest is made and the guy who has the bread to buy it. He must be King. ?
Right?
BX folks, I've never had one but my B7100 was pretty close. Stay the course. BX is a good machine. I am happy to consider you on the Kubota team.

My kids had the battery operated Jeep from Walmart. They were 3 years separated in age and they drove that thing everywhere for at least 6 years, then we gave it to the neighbor kid. I think it lasted at least another 3 years. That thing kept going and wouldn’t die. The wheels were run bald.
Just for the record, it has been a running joke here for a while since we used to have a member that was very proud of his 2 real tractors.

This is not advice, but simply a tale of events that may, or may not have happened.
There once was a guy from Nantucket.......oops wrong fable.
Haahahah....anyhow, if your grandson is capable, maybe a "booster seat" can be fabbed up so that he can sort of "ride the front" of the seat and still reach the pedals while still utilizing the seat belt? (oh you might have to defeat the "seat switch' too)
I started my grandson on the backhoe and just recently he started driving the tractor. Our land is pretty flat and he just likes tearing up/driving around the back yard, and digging holes with the backhoe so he can fill them in.
Edit: For the record I drive the tractor out of the barn, and around the cars, to avoid a "side swiping" event. Then he gets on it, when its "out in the open".
He has a blast.
Sorry I have no idea about where to find an electric one though.

Out of curiosity, and a chuckle, what did this individual consider "real" tractors?Just for the record, it has been a running joke here for a while since we used to have a member that was very proud of his 2 real tractors.
