1965 McCulloch-Kubota picture

Should we start a McCulloch-Kubota D 20 registry? is this an important enough machine? This highlights the downfall of the American made small tractor how did we i.e. us Americans miss this segment of the small tractor production. Japanese have small farms and good small tractors and they sold lots of them. With new models coming out all the time. Gasnutte

I have Kubota # 10004 have owned it since 1976 with rototiller great tractor finally got new tires 8.3 X 24 this year. climbing in and out into getting hard for an old man. I recommend replacement of the air cleaner for a Donaldsen 2" much better than oil bath. I thought I had the oldest then somebody comes up with # 10003 life is not fair. gasnutte

Is your Kubota a B6000?

I just found this link to the D20.
TractorData.com McCulloch D-20 tractor information

I see there’s a few McCulloch D-20 discussions. I have one serial #10080 so I’m assuming that puts it in the 1965-66 range. I have had a few people show interest in buying it from me but I have no clue on a value. Has anyone in this forum been able to find a reliable source.

Very interesting old Kubota! If I were an executive at Kubota, I would be
interested in acquiring this earliest of machines for a possible future
display or museum. Kubota has an interesting history to preserve.

Nice pix, TREEBOONE.

Considering that Kubota started out making knitting machines...
