[QUOTE="flaboy+, post: 156321, member: 2489"] I must admit that Kubota tractors have come long way. I worked on one of the original imports many years ago and what a piece of junk. A friend of mine just bought a compact from Kubota and loves it but only uses it when the sun is out and it is above 80 degree's. I run mine hard and long in 100 degree weather pulling a big baler. I won't risk it with a orange tractor. You won't find any AG version orange tractors around me. Everyone is Red or Greeen. Some had Kubota dealers bring some out for demo but after about an hour the dealer stopped them and said they were over working the tractor. You will never see a orange tractor on my place regardless of price. I had some folks try to sell me orange when I was looking for my latest red one and they were much higher in cost (similar to the JD price) than the MF. I have been using MF and Fords for more years than I care to admit. I often abuse them and they always forgive me. Lost a water pump and didn't know it for a few weeks. Ran that thing with about a quart of water in it for hours on end. When I finally checked the fluids after a hard weeks work I found the problem and repaired it. Thsi old thing had never lost a drip in years. I got used to it and stopped checking it's fluids. I don't know how many others would have survived this treatment. [/QUOTE]
