Pretty inexperienced at posting pics on here, but we'll give it a go. Got a new hoe last week. Been looking at Kubotas for quite a while and finally got my nerve up. Really like it so far. Kubota dealers are closer than Bobcat and its real smooth. Seller said the air conditioners in these have a hard time keeping up so it'll probly get the windows blacked out.

Congrats!! I don't know why I hear people say kubota machines are not real construction equipment. They obviously don't know what they are talking about. Kubotas hold up very well as well as a lot of kubota engines are in different branded equipment. I'm sure that will last you a long time !

Thanks guys, ya I'm already enjoying my job more. I'll never own another hoe without a cab and heat. A little worried about the back glass when it's on the trailer, but the previous owner said the glass is reasonably cheap. He already replaced the front and back!

And yes I agree diesel lover. The Kubotas far and away outnumber other brands around here. I have a buddy that's owned a u35 for about 8 years with no trouble at over 4000 hours. I tried out an e32 Bobcat and really liked it. And it was faster and had more slew force, which the speed probably isnt a fair comparison because the bobcat was smaller. but parts are cheaper on the Kubotas, my dealers are closer, and this thing is really silky smooth

Great lookin machine, good luck with it.
To get the whole enchalada, set aside some pesos, and put a hydraulic thumb on that baby.

So why is it the glass has to be replaced periodically?

Well the deal with the glass was this: the previous owner bought this thing new last year. He's a farmer and used it for some clearing and some ditching. Ran a branch thru the front glass. Then while hauling it on a gravel road, a chain was dragging and caused a rock to take out the rear glass. That's the story he gave me. He wasn't very easy on it. This machine only has 280 hours lol

AStanton - I did have a thumb on my 331. Love it too! Adds so much versatility and usually got me more work once i had it on a job when folks would see how we'll it works. But then started doing mainly public utilities work and almost completely stopped doing jobs for the general public and didn't seem to use the thumb as much. This Kubota is plumbed for it and has the bracket, so if I run across one ill probly grab it because the plan is to use it for whatever comes up. And that'll include loading debris and setting culverts and so forth. So I said all that to say this: you're right
