I went to the dealer today to get a hydraulic filter for my service, they were slow and we started BSing about tractors and things related.
We got to talking about the bobcat's new tractors. He said that the heard that bobcat went to kubota about wanting to enter the tractor market. Kubota said that they would NOT outsource their tractors to anyone and bobcat got a little upset and threatened to stop using kubota motors in their skid-steers. Kubotas response was "fine, if you want to start making tractors, then we'll start making skid-steers." And now tey are offering two models a 75hp and a 90hp. The dealer also said that a team of designers traveled around and took the best features of most of the big name SS's and incorporated them into their unit.
I was just wondering if anyone else had heard this or if there is any truth to it at all????
