Hey All,

Here's a short story for you fellow Kubota owners. I live in Illinois and have quite a driveway to plow. There's a ravine with steep grades on both sides that's impossible to get up in a 2 wheel drive car or truck when it's snow covered. Several times per year I have to park on the opposite side of the ravine, walk in, get the tractor and plow before driving in.

Last Friday I took a chance and didn't make it up the 100 ft. hill. We got stuck about 3/4 way up. It was getting dark and I had never pulled my little Hyundai Accent from the front.
I managed to find a place to latch on to it with a tow strap and had my wife get on the tractor.

In the end it was my Filipino wife towing my Korean car up the hill with my Japanese tractor! A truly International effort!

That's a real good question .
Also was there anything made in America involved ?

Made in America? Well, according to my folks, I WAS!

I'll have to check the origin of the tow straps and get back to ya.
