Would you buy a Kubota work truck?

[Muhammad]

So 4570 posted a pic of the truck you have described. Would you drive it? Does everything you've asked for!!!!

I wasn't asking if a work truck existed... I was asking if people would buy one made by Kubota.

Ford would do whatever it took to crush a competitor in the pick up market.

The longer this thread goes on the stranger Muhammad's question seems.............

I would lean toward a domestically built truck if a similar one was offered.

I believe that you are 100% correct!

Kubota would have to have some kind of fast track service to compete, many of their tractor dealers are backed up weeks to get an appointment.
That would never fly with a truck down, though maybe that is becoming more common.

You might be able to forego having a 29 speaker stereo in your truck, but Kubota is so safety oriented I don't think they could do without state of the art
electronics now required to meet safety standards. There is just no way of making that inexpensive.

Would the draw be the hoped for simplicity of operation? Durability of engine? Sure won't be the orange color...

Yep, I love my cj5 with front/rear pto, 3 point hitch, high/low etc. Perfect for the trails, farm and drive to the store.

I considered my neighbor痴 RTV when he wanted out of it but it didn稚 do anything better for me than the jeep minus a dump. Also having a gator at that time I hardly used the dump, more used to 田arry. The things I haul and dump is not just a hand loaded firewood wood or blocks/loam.It would beat the vehicle too much and I prefer to use a trailer that takes the beating, not a 20k++ sheet metal dump on my sold gator or neighbor?s sold rtv. I still have the same room in the back of the jeep as the RTV to carry all the tools, firewood etc I need.






If I did more surburban/urban property work or maybe had a dedicated dump truck I think the other machines would be awesome.
For well under 10k, the jeep is perfect for me.

I think you need to start a new thread just about this Jeep. I'd love to hear more. How did you manage the 3 pt hitch? Changes to the suspension to support it? WHat kinds of things do you run off the front and rear PTOs?

You can get the farm boy hitch to fit in a receiver

I have thought of putting one in my F350 to deliver single round bales of hay

I knew a guy that made one of these bale lifters 30 years ago that used a ATV winch to pivot the spear assy.

And I'm saying Kubota isn't going to build one because of the competition already existing.
