Highest selling Kubota in USA?

[Buster57]

[Kubota does have a very large share of the market and it can be contributed simply to price. They are most often the cheapest on the market and if the customer is sensitive about monthly payment and the tractor will still do the job, then why would he pay more than he had to. Simple budget economics.[/QUOTE]

Hi Larry,
I looked very hard at JD and NH before I finally decided to go with Kubota. My last tractor cost me about $2k just to get rid of so when I say I looked hard at the competition-I mean I looked REALLY HARD!

I went back to Kubota because the B7800 fit better under my orchard trees and the HP was there to go up a steep hill. The dealer had to work his rear off to get my business but he was successful.

JD's product was a great fit but under powered. The 955 would have been perefect, but I also wish I had purchased MS stock in the 80s...

Your NH tractors were more expensive. About 20%+ more expensive. I had great experience with my Grand "L", the B7800 is tested hard in the field and is successful, my Kubota dealer is great, so I limited my exposure and went with a known element at, yes, a less expensive price.

If the New holland is so great, why are you lurking in the Kubota section?

Huh ?

Just for thrills-what does the forum think is the biggest selling tractor in USA?

Well, I imagine Kubota's BIGGEST selling tractor is probably an M125X!
Now, Kubota's BEST selling tractor is probably one from the BX line. Which is actually their SMALLEST selling tractor.
But Kubota's overall best selling MACHINE MAY be the RTV.

Sorry for being a nomenclature smart-@$$.

Why did this thread become a brand war though?

Larry is a great guy. Read some of his posts. If I was looking for a NH and lived by him he would certainly be on my supplier list.

Just because you own a NH or Deere(I have owned several JDs) you are welcome in the Kubota section any time. Maybe we can get you to change colors!


M125X -Ha Ha-you got me!

I agree, I visit the other forums frequently as well. Now that I am tractorless, (for 37 minutes now) as mine just left my place, I..., I ,,, , I need a moment.....






Now that I longer have in my hand the keys to any tractor, I will either visit the other forums or perhaps go to Horse-By-Net, wait, I don't have a horse either. What am I to do, oh the agony. I still have a 30 yard pile of dirt in my backyard to move. I need a tractor....

RaT-why don't you go down to the local Kubota dealers and buy one of those M125X models? They are big sellers these days!

Hey, I was really thinking the BX might be the next tractor for my little place but you more then anyone gave me second thought-itis.

Every one here is a Kubota fan. I just spent another $15k or so on a B7800 and I look forward to long successful use of this very well designed tractor.

But I do have something to say about the BX1850. A lot to say about the BX1850...

I can not endorse the BX1850. It is junk!

Terrible engineering!

I hope Kubota tastes every word of this e-mail.

It cost me $1800 to get rid of this POS at 40 hours and I am Dam- happy I did so!

Every manufacturer can lay an egg every once in a while. Kubota got the whole dozen with the BX1850!

It's JUNK!

Buster -

I went back to look at your threads about your complaints with the BX1850... the only thing I could find was the cracked fender. Would you mind going into a bit more detail about what you didn't like? I think it would do a lot of perspective buyers some good to hear about your 'first 40' hours of experience.

For me, I passed on the BX1850 for a number of reasons and went with a BX1500 (which I'm quite pleased with). Cost, unattractive redesign and "cheaper feeling" plastic switches were the three things I didn't like. Overall, the BX1500 felt more workhorse than showhorse (like your JD 318) and, in hindsight, was the tractor I should have bought from the start.

If it makes you feel any better, I lost a lot more money than you on my 2005 JD GX335 with 40.8 hours on the clock... I was told that I can thank HomeDepot for the poor resale.

One mans junk is another mans gold.

When one purchases the wrong machine for his uses, it's definitely not the manufacturers fault......

It's not like Kubota is running subliminal TV commercials constantly telling one to buy BX's.....
