"Production on the new line will begin in the second quarter of 2015 in Kubota’s new plant in France. The facility is estimated to produce 3,000 tractors by 2017 for distribution in the U.S., Western Europe, Canada, Australia, and Japan.". -agriculture.com

Why did they choose France? Anyone know?

I guess that is why they are limiting available units to dealers Tom. My dealer said they are allotted 11 M7's. And guys are already fighting over them.
I can't wait to see them in person.

I really like that new R630 wheel loader too.

My guess is because they know they can sell those 3000 units in Europe, so if sales in the US don't pan out, then it's not an embarrassment for K. Rather, they can regroup & try again after they find out why US sales didn't materialize. I see it as a risk mitigation strategy.
Taking this speculation a step further, if US sales meet or exceed expectations, I'd expect to see a US plant in the news within a few years.
I'm looking forward to seeing the M9s!

I'm SOLD!
The specs on the B2601 are amazing, everything I need and then some, plus no DPF garbage!
I hope the prices are in line with the B2620, and I will buy one.

My dealer and Kubota Canada web site show the same price for the new and old B. But I imagine the loader bucket quick attach and remotes are extra, so that's where it may add up a bit. I only put one rear remote on my B2620....now I'll be able to have two!!!
Anyone know if they will still have the small dynamo? I added the 40A alternator to my B2620....wonder if they upgraded the B2601?

For my 2650 the ratchet style 3pt adjuster and 3rd function valve were additional paid extras, not standard. Telescoping stabilizers sure are nice, wish I got the quick attach/extending arms, whatever that option is called - that should come standard on the 50 series with the stabilizer arms.
