Steering column mounted implement lift

[MikeInEburg]

My understanding is that a Zen-Noh is a Kubota that was sold in Japan, then re-sold and shipped to the U.S. The have to be re-badged because of a lawsuit by Kubota. The didn't want the market flooded by these tractors. They are 100% Kubota.

Actually, I read it that Zen-Noh is a cooperative, much like Southern States in our region. And they have tractors private labeled. Kubota and others manufacture and private label as Zen-Noh to be sold to the cooperative members. Inevitably some machines are imported to US. Definitely not made for the US market, hence grey market machines.

I know it's a grey market tractor. I was simply asking if anyone had run into the electric controls on the column and what they did about it.

So they are electric over hydraulic controls? Is there a problem with them other than the location? If not, I wouldn't think it would be a big deal to relocate the electric switches. If you want to go straight hydraulic, maybe you can find a corresponding Kubota model to at least compare setups or maybe even obtain parts. Like Roy says, it probably wouldn't be worth the hassle to make a complete change.
Sorry, not much help.
