msocko3,
It seems you don't keep them around long enough to see if they are any good or not !

Re: Kubota \"Throw away tractor\"?

I kind of like to play with new toys, and the comfort of having a warranty is nice also /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif If I want to see an older one in action there is a guy up the street that has one that is about 15 years old, I know another guy that has one that is about 20 years old now and still going strong.

Sheesh... /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

I'm a JD guy, that's one of the silliest things I've ever heard.

I had an english teacher many years ago who had a pet peeve about what she called "extreme modifiers." If ever I turned in a paper or spoke the words, --every; all; always; never; or none-- I'd get a little rap on the knuckles of my non-writing hand. Whenever I hear a salesman say those words, my left hand tingles and I look around for a ruler to pass along the lesson. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Re: Kubota \"Throw away tractor\"?

BigPete,

It is interesting on how this post/thread has started from the imaturity of a salesperson to, well yeah your right, extreme modifiers. Kubota's are good tractors, but all of a sudden everyone here has bragged up the Kubota so much that it would make one think there is no other tractor out there. I went through the various posts and you know what? There is a lot of Kubota post with problems just like the rest.

In fact look at the amount of posts Kubota has verses John Deere and New Holland. Why does Kubota have more? Well I am sure there is a lot more Kubota's out there? Or it could be that there is more problems out there? I think it has to be a combination of both. But I can pretty much assure you that for every good story about a Kubota, there probably is a bad story about them also. For every bad New Holland sales person there is one bad Kubota sales peson. That was my case. In fact I had no intention of looking at New Holland until the Kubota dealer bad mouthed New Holland so bad I just had to go look at one to see how bad they were. Gee Im driving a New Holland. This whole discussion group is not to dictate who is the best out there, but to help other people in making their decision. We help with Horsepower, we help with Hydro, we help with sales techniques, we help with what is the best implement. I know my dad's neighbor would never say "never" with his Kubota.

I know it is nature to protect our little tractors but this thread I think got way off track. Sorry if I upset anyone.

Re: Kubota \"Throw away tractor\"?

<font color="blue"> . The next closest Kubota dealer is in Anchorage (50 miles away). </font>

My 'bota dealer I bought from is about 900 miles away. Haven't needed a part yet so I guess it hasn't been much of an issue yet!!! /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif.

Re: Kubota \"Throw away tractor\"?

My B7100 is 20 years old and still going strong. Exactly when am I supposed to throw it away?

Seriously, my nearest dealer is 98 miles away. The one I do business with is 128 miles away. So far any parts that I need, and there have not been many, amount to a simple call to the dealer's parts department. If the dealer has the part in stock I get it overnight. If it has to come out a the Ohio warehouse it takes three days. Still waiting for them to tell me that something that I need is no longer available. Maybe if that happens it will be time to "throw it away".

Re: Kubota \"Throw away tractor\"?

There is a Kubota "Junk Yard" in Ohio. I just made room for it today. I got to thinking with all these "throw away" Kubotas, y'all could just toss them in my yard. I'll find something to do with them /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif
Just teasing.........I know Kubota makes a quality tractor, so no one take offense okay?

Re: Kubota \"Throw away tractor\"?

MURPH: have to agree, this thread got way off course, neither kubota, NH, JD, kioti, etc.etc. are throw aways. all have their good points and all have their bad points. some owners will have no problem, and others will have all kinds of problems. some folks have problems with chevy, some with ford, just the same with tractors.
