Kubota Show

[Paystar]

Went to a big Kubota show at my dealer today. Took 71 pictures. Found out about a lot of cool new stuff coming like the K-Connect (a new version of the Auto-Hitch) that they had there, larger versions of the R-series loaders and excavators coming, the purchase of Land Pride by Kubota, etc.

Also talked to the factory reps about all the foolish practices of people only changing filters at 50 hours and not ALL fluids, using gear oil in the front axles in cooler Canadian climates and putting vents on the front axles of B and BX's.

Thanks for the tip. Gotta love how the keyboard engineers know more than the Factory engineers that manufacturers employ, eh?

What's with Kubota anyway? I was a t a dealer last week buying filters and saw a R610. I get a Canadian construction magazine in which Kubota advertises heavily, and I never saw it announced or advertised!

Nice machine. Curious how it compares to the other compacts.

Did they have any JD equipment there so they could bash it like our local JD dealer network does with Kubota?

What is auto-hitch?

K-connect could be interesting.

Anything new on the M59 at the show? Supposedly they are making some changes.

By the way, you still have 71 pictures to post.

You sure Kubota bought Landpride? Last I heard it was some sort of partnership.

That's funny, but sad at the same time.

Our local Deere dealer bought some bx tractors (don't remember the exact size) with Landpride bush hogs, just so they could bash them also.

Kubota must be eating their dessert.
