Kubota KX040-4 VS. Bobcat E45

[Oiltech]

I tried to make the best comparisons between the 2 of them. The Bobcat is about $410 more but has a couple more standard features that the Kubota does not offer. What's your opinion on the 2 of them? Which would you buy?

I am an kubota guy but love the x-change and hydraulic extend-a-hoe option on the bobcat. I have been renting a e35 and with both options and a/c which when its 100 out still works good with doors and windows open.

Why does that even matter? Parts and service are great for both.

Must be he doesn't know who owns bobcat! The people we work with tell me the Kubota is smoother on the controls in close quarters. We ordered a mess of the 121's in with the six way blades because many of out customers have found them to be an advantage. Some are still happy with a straight blade even giving up the ability to angle!

Availability of parts is a concern but not with Kubota or Bobcat. I prefer to buy made in USA over foreign. Are you saying the opposite?

No kidding.

Not to mention the Bobcat is powered by...a Kubota diesel.
