Long read, but an indicator of their 'customer service'.

Blew up Kubota motor

Had a bad day. Apparently my oil pressure light is burnt out and I never paid attention. Just changed oil about 5 hours ago so didn't even think to check. Last mowing job must have had a stick dislodge the oil dipstick. Was 4-5 qts low. Spun front end bearing. Damage done. Lesson...

That was my post that I had issues with their customer service a few years back.

Don't surprise me that they went belly up. Very shady business

Yes, I glad you had a reference near the end to look at Pg 22. Saved me 22 pages of reading.

The open question now is, WHERE did the machines go afterwards? Bet there are plenty of great parts still in their salvage yard to keep these classics going for decades.

There probably still sitting in the same field they were before. Probably a cash only type thing. Or someone bpasses and a relative inherited it and there still in same spot.

Check Google maps aireal and see how current it is and of tractors are still all around.

Local contact advises gates open, cars in parking lot, appears to be business as usual.

Not so sure ... Their primary website is GONE. And the secondary web address that redirects to the first is broken.

And when doing a search for them, this result happens right after the Google Ads listing.

Dial their digits. Drop'em a ringey dingey.
