Bobcat CUT vs. Kubota

[PAFarmboy1]

I currently own two vintage Kubota Tractors, an L2500 with a loader and backhoe, and a B7200 with a front snow blade and rear mower. Surfing this site and elsewhere, I came upon the new Bobcat Compact Utility Tractors. Hmm! I also own a Bobcat Toolcat 5600c with seven attachments. If the Bobcat CUTs are of the same quality of the Toolcat, I would be willing to trade both Kubota's to purchase one? Any thoughts? Would this be a wise move?

Hi PA,
I don't think Bobcat would stake their reputation on anything but a top notch product.
Evidently they have great faith in the Daedong/Kioti line of tractors and diesel engines.

Hi,

While speaking of these rebadged Kioti's, has anyone actually had a price quote on any of the New Bobcat compact tractors ?

All I have seen is that they will be priced a bit lower than comparable products.

Thanks

Can we get a new category set up on the site specifically for bobat? how about one for the new Yanmar Cadet units?

L2500, a vintage tractor? I think they made that for only a couple of
years (98 and 99, I think). Mine was a 99. 10 y.o. does not a vintage
tractor make, IMO.

I was quoted 17,100.00 for a 30 hp with HST, R-4's and loader. Financing same as Kubotas - 0% - 36 mos. Didn't try to negotiate, no doubt there's quite a bit of wiggle room.

You'll find lots of folks here very happy with their Kiotis. The only difference I can see between the Bobcats and Kiotis are the loader is different, and some white paint.

I know when I was comparing Tractors, the CK25/30 outspecs larger tractors by the other manufacturers in weight and hydraulic capacity. Try one out, I think you'll like it!

I have been looking at CUT's - stopped by the local Bobcat dealer to see when they would get any in stock. Had on on the floor a 25 hp model - CT225 I think. With loader, R4's, deluxe seat and "level" package (mid mount pto I was told) price without tax was $17,850. (says about $1900 off list). Included the 0% for 36 mths. Priced seemed awfully high to me - esp for a 17 pto hp. Now seems even higher when I see davitk's price below. Tractor was beautifully finished and very well built. I would jump at $17,100 for a 30 hp model. I'll pass on the price they quoted me. Same company owns about 5 Bobcat dealers in this area, so if I want a lower price, I'll need to drive a bunch.

That $17100 should get you a CK30HST, loader, R4s, etc.... That price for a White CK25 seems high to me too...
