As a note to tractor rider:
The other big tractor companies do business on both sides and know that the customer will buy tractors on both sides. Kubota needs to join the big leagues if they want to play in the AG market. Kubota Canada buys some loaders from the US, buys their wheels from the US and a few other items. Kubota USA gets their push frames and front blowers from Canada so it is a 2 way street. Why don't they understand if they can play internationally their clients can too.
I already have to get parts for my Kubota from the US because the dealer refuses to spend time to look up parts, and the odd time they do, they are more expensive than the green brands parts.
I don't have a problem with all the Canadian dealers, some will work a bit and go below list but Kubota Canada is setting pricing at ridiculous levels. Why does a 85 hp M series with no powershift sell for more than other brands with powershifts? Why do a set of 2" wide sheetmetal fender extensions for an L30 series that weigh a couple of pounds cost 500$+? Its crazy!
