Kubota releasing 2 tracked skid steers

I believe that Kubota is hosting their "Dealer meetings" now, so that should mean there will be some pics and details available about these new units.

No enclosed cab option. Nuff said.

It has tracks that go around and it lifts stuff!

Its hard to give anything firm at this point. Its still a year until the thing ships and anything that we know or where told can be changed since we all only saw prototypes.

I'm sensing just a hint of sarcasm

A year until it ships?? Thats a bummer. As a prototype machine, how does it look spec wise compared to whats out there now? Pilot controls? Foot throttle? Operating weight? Suspended undercarriage? Potential HP numbers?.....come on man, I really need my fix.....

It is nice to know that Kubota spends the time to make sure that the machines come right the first time! They are a year out and we are hoping to have our initial order presold.
Kubota has a good amount of exerience with track systems and the units they are coming up with seem to have all the right features so far but they are more worried right now about the overall quality of the unit then the cab at this time.
