Already looking for one. I'm waiting until I get the ROPS in that I ordered, and get it put on, so I can see how much room I have to work with...
Those Japanese farmers must not be as "broad in the beam" nor as long-legged as Americans! /forums/images/graemlins/ooo.gif

It doesn't have an hour-meter or any other gauge. It has two pieces of "instrumentation" -- a low oil pressure warning light, and a little hole that you look in to watch a wire filament heat up that shows the status of the glow plugs warming up --- you wait till the wire glows, then give it about 10 more seconds, open the throttle and crank it...

That is an awesome little "Bota. It has a two cylinder diesel engine too apparently?
A ROPS would be a good investment for that, wonder if Kubota has one for it that you could get?

Yes, it's a 577cc 2-cylinder. 12.5HP at the engine.
I already have the ROPS kit (ROPS, mounting brackets, seatbelt) on order through my local dealer -- $148.00 plus shipping, after a $50 off coupon from Kubota's site...

Yip, thats way, way, cleaner than mine.
So have you found any way more elegant to get off other that swinging you leg over the steering wheen and practically falling off?
What i love about these is they really are a compact Ag tractor, rather than a garden tractor on steroids (BX##)
yours looks very nice (gotta love the loader too /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif)

Cute little tractor. I saw one just like it about a year ago on the lot of the local Sacramento Kubota dealer.
