Would you buy a Kubota work truck?

My Ranger is lucky to hit 35

So why did they build a track loader, skid steer, ag tractors, hay tools, a gas powered utv, or that vacuum cleaner?

Are you saying that it's just as easy to add an EPA road worthy truck line as it is to add a track loader, skid steer, hay tool, gas powered utv or vacuum cleaner line? Being from California I find that naive if so.

Id be just as happy to buy an RTV1100 IF they could at least gear it to do 35 to 40 MPH in high range.

It's my belief that the HVT system in the RTV sucks up too much power. Will require a much higher HP engine. Or redesign the trans system. Maybe something similar to what Honda uses?

If my RTV900 was geared to run 40mph it would only do it going downhill. Maybe on a flat if the flat was long enough. It's totally a pooch in H.

It looks like the Kubota Work Truck comments have mostly been made. If Kubota wanted to expand their product Line:

Toolcat
Telehandler
Steiner/Ventrac/Power Trac clone
Riding Trail Mower
Generators
Pumps
Mini Grader

I'd prefer the Toolcat version.

I don't believe they make a high production wing mower. That surprises me. They are 2/3rds the way there. And GOOD money in that turf/golf business.

I prefer what I already own outright... I'm allergic to payment books.

None of them look good to me as they are all attached to a payment book.....

Not when you pay cash...

It's Kubota... so why not? they could take over the world if they wanted too.
