A letter was sent to the dealers that may not ease your present situation but it will let you know Kubota is aware of a parts problem... and they are working on it...
Kubota Tractor is well aware of the parts dilemma that now confronts us. Just as every one of you have physical constraints that prohibit you from stocking all possible parts in big enough quantities, Kubota Tractor Corporation has the same healthy business constraint. Each of us has to anticipate how many, of exactly what part, to have on the shelf at what time. It gets a little harder for us here in that we have to manufacture parts and our suppliers must also anticipate our demand so that they may stock the appropriate raw materials. We all know the expense involved. Very simply; Kubota Tractor anticipated incorrectly. We simply did not foresee the expanded demand nor did we anticipate the timing of that demand.

The letter goes on to state the many improvements that are underway. Unfortunately, it will not happen overnight but it does seem to be well in the works. The last paragraph reads as follows...
As you can see we are not taking our situation lightly. The whole Kubota team working hard on projects will directly result in better service to you. We are committed to dependable parts support worthy of being called "Kubota Quality".
