Kubota Disc Mower. Seen One?

mjcountrybumpkin · Mar 2, 2014

Of course I left my phone (camera) at home. Stopped by dealer this evening and checked out the new Kubota disc mowers and Tedders. Pretty nice looking iron, the mower are a tripe blade design. The Tedder was a unique looking design.
Not that I am saying they are cheap , but the are definitely lighter framed machines. Will be going by to get a real price on the 4 basket Tedder this week.

Interesting little side not here. The Kubota TE4052T tedder is identical to the New Holland Pro Ted 3417. Only difference I can find is paint color and decals

I've seen the same one you did! Lol

Kubota bought the Kverneland Group a while back. So that stuff is all Vicon.

I'm anxious to see how this purchase effects Kubota in the Ag sector. :thumbsup:

Yeah I saw the one In Abingdon ,but they have 5 in Kingsport. I really like the looks of the tedder but im afraid to even think about pricing it. Doing it all myself I have decided i need a few things now,a V rake and 4 basket tedder are at the top of the list.

We saw the Kubota disc mower at the Sunbelt Ag Expo. There was a guy there looking at it and he said if he put his Vicon beside the Kubota the only difference would be paint color.

If you compare the Kubota tedder to a Krone the weight difference is about 600 lbs. The Kubota weighs 904lbs. the 4 basket Krone weighs 1499 lbs.

I've actually seen those too.

I'd hate to price any of it new!

Our tedder is as old as me and unless it gets stolen by meth heads I'll keep on using it until it flies apart. Well now that I think about it, it has self destructed at least twice.

I've read up on the bota Tedder a little last night. Basically they are marketing it as a ultra light weight tool for low horsepower tractors. I believe I'll be looking for something heavier built. Still a nice novelty piece for Kubota holics.
