Buying Advice want a Brand New Kubota for less than $50.00 ?

[AxleHub]

Greetings,

Was I surprised this afternoon when a friend texted me a picture of a brand new Kubota product. Its a 4 gallon Kubota wet/dry vacuum with a peak hp of 4 hp.

He saw it at a big box store in Kansas City. Official color shows on the box and made by Kubota.

Now I'm not sure if this is a good sign or a bad sign. A wet/dry vac for $25 to $30 just doesn't seem to fit with the Kubota reputation.

Lets be clear . . Its 7 amp and its not a toy. Why would Kubota be doing something like this?

It would have to have a 220 plug on it to be 4 hp!

This drives me nuts! It's like the candy bars at the checkout of the Canadian Tire store are the best money makers (per area) of anything in the store.

People will impulse buy that shop vac just because it says Kubota on it, and they will make a HUGE profit on that stupid vaccume!

It's good business but doesn't help them make a better tractor. I think it detracts from their core business. Like all the toys, belt buckles, coasters and yes even kitchen tools, at the JD dealer!

That's probably why there are so many Bobcat tractors around.
