Do Tractors Have Titles???

[JOHNTHOMAS]

I would think (doesn't happen very often) that all manufacturers provide an MSO (Manufaturers Statement of Origin). Are you guys (other than TripleR) saying that you got nothing other than a bill of sale??

If you financed it through KCC, you should've gotten some sort of lien release document at the end of your term though.

I've bought several new Kubotas and even paid a few off. Nothing but a contract showing purchase from Steve Barlow at purchase and then when paid off a copy of my loan with KCC with a stamped PAID on it. I do go to the KCC web site and make sire it shows paid there. I did sell one Kubota and made payments to KCC for another year or so after I sold it. Was going to pay it off with sale proceeds but with 0% interest it didn't make sense to do that so I used the money. It is paid off now and has been for a couple of years.
Ky has a website where liens are filed against stuff like tractors and anyone can go to that website and see if there is/was a lien filed for that person and a particular tractor.

In NYS we dont get titles either.

I didn't get any such document with mine.

Yes, that's what I'm talking about. Mailed to you from KCC, and should have included a cover letter, which is the release.
{excerpt}
"Your account is paid in full and we are enclosing your documents for your records. KCC's security interest granted by the contract is released and we have terminated your UCC filing (evidence of lien)."

At least, that's what I got in Aug., '09. YMMV.

If I was a thief and robbed you, you'd still be screwed.

No titles out here in Texas.

However, anyone anywhere near one of my tractors is called a "target" and fortunately I have enough property that any "targets" will not have the opportunity for escape or appeal.

Hey guys,

Regarding titles... RTVs can have a title if you intend to use it on the highway (the DMV wants their cut).

Regarding stolen equipment, I work for Kubota Insurance (KTAC) and can tell you we keep a database of stolen equipment that every dealer can access. Dealers call me all the time about stolen equipment brought in for repairs by the "owner". So, if your equipment is stolen, notify your dealer and they will let me know. I will put it on the stolen report for you so hopefully you can recover it. Otherwise, you can use Slade's approach with the "target"! :thumbsup:

I guess you (KTAC) could also verify that I am the original owner should I decide to sell? (I financed and insured through Kubota.) That should put the potential buyer at ease.
