I'm not a Kubota fan. They are rough, heavy, expensive, less capable, and no more debendable than most other brands.
Less capable of running around fast over the rough stuff and through the mud for sure. Expensive? The fuel savings will pay the difference not even including longevity, practicality of the diesel engine. Towing and pulling is something that we need and depend on. We've planted 40 acres in a day using our JD 8200 double disc seed drill behind the Kubota, thanks to the rear hydraulics. The Kubota is a working machine, it might not be something that a weekend warrior - hunter needs. 20 different kids have drove ours non stop till they get arguing who's turn it is to drive, and so far no problems besides the front drive shaft.
I like the new Mules for the ride, speed and noise otherwise the Kubota is what we need around the farm.
They do not out work, out perform, use less fuel or last longer than the other brands. That is a fact. You can buy it cause you want it, buy it cause your wife likes it, buy it cause Kubota will finance to any one, buy it cause you like the color... none of the reasons matter to me why a person buys it... just don't think you are paying more for a superior machine... cause you are not.
Its your money buy what you want. They make a great dump bed and the hydraulics are handy IF you need them.
