Land Pride sold to Kubota?

[number9L]

You know what SUCKS????? I've got a Woods grading scraper on order and my dealer just called to say his Woods Rep txt him saying they will no longer paint Kubota Orange - only JD Greene and Woods Orange :banghead:

That chaps my ***, cause I've got both LandPride and Woods implements Kubota Orange and wanted this GS to match my BB.

You can get an EA Land Leveler/Grading Scraper in orange if you request it! US Made Cutting Edges and US Made Ripper Shanks.
The primary color of our new Land Shark Line is orange, and the lineup is constantly growing.

Best thing that ever happened to Landpride was joining forces with Kubota. Before it was hit or miss trying to get parts at the other dealers, but with Kubota, you get the feeling you where dealing with professionals. I drive past one tractor dealer that sells Landpride fifteen minutes farther to get to the Kubota dealer when I need parts. Prices seem to be about the same, but Kubota has most things in stock while the other guy has to order everything. Even when comparing how long it takes to get something I order, at Kubota, it's a few days and a phone call the second it gets there. The other guy is several weeks, if it ever arrives and never a phone call that it's there. I just have to keep checking in to see if they got it.

That's not a Landpride problem. That's a dealer problem. You don't have to have a Kubota shingle to provide excellent customer service. Landpride / Great Plains ship parts the same day the order comes in 99% of the time, and what a dealer stocks his own shelves with is his choice.

I hear ya Travis. The two I was deciding between was yours and the Woods in the 72" with rippers. My dealer give me a price about $500 lower on the Woods so that was just too hard to pass on.

Well that explains why my local Kubota dealer that has also sold Woods now stocks both.

Ah. We'll have one that's a little lighter and less expensive soon in our Land Shark line.

I think the EA Land Levelers are actually heavier than what is shown on our website. We really need to conduct a reweigh.

All that means is now LandPride will be just a bit more expensive in the future.

I'd be impressed if they started selling Landpride that quick just because of the Kubota deal.

I wonder if there will be deeper discounts offered for buying within the partnership? I've been impressed by the build quality of most of the Land Pride stuff I've seen... I never have bought them because they've always been one of, if not the most expensive choice available. Kubota always has impressed me as well, and been a higher end product. I think Great Plains made a great move to increase their volume and exposure... hopefully there will be savings instead of increases for the pairing.
