Probably. However, check your homeowner policy, it may cover non-registered vehicles and that may satisfy Kubota financing requirements. But your homeowners won't cover tractor if you plan to take it off your property.

Yes it is. KATC has good insurance and you can finance it at 0% if you finance your tractor.

When I bought mine they tried force the ktac on me. I said no, so they made me provide proof it was covered under my home owners. That was not a problem, called usaa and they emailed it to me in 5 minutes.
I think the ktac is good based on hearsay, but so far I'm glad I didn't buy it. Haven't needed it and tractor was paid off in 20 or so months.
Absolutely yes with any tractor with a loan. Agree with others, check your home owners. I was going to have to convert to a farm policy which would have cost as much as KTAC so I just got KTAC since I was able to finance it in at 0% with the tractor.

I borrowed 'against shares' at my CU, got a great % rate for that (3.01%) and since it's 'secured' there was no insurance requirement.
Many homeowner policies declare coverage for equipment used to maintain the premises. That said, one insco may include a <"x" hp SCUT by default and another may require a rider for a >"x"-deck ZTR. We have to ask 'em and be sure, that's all.
I'd still rather pay for insurance I didn't need than get stung thinking I had coverage on a $10k yard tool and really didn't.

Insurance is required when a note is on the tractor, but KTAC IS NOT required. Proof of homeowners is acceptable.
Does anyone know what the specific requirements Kubota requires for home owners insurance when financing a tractor?
My dealer stated Kubota requires it covered on and off property (I don't see how a home owners insurance can cover off property unless you specifically get a add-on), $1000 deductible, covered for rollover and cover the total cost of the tractor in event of a total loss.
