It is an exploding market. Only time will tell what happens. Especially with such dark financial clouds on the horizon. My, guess, they will become abundantly plentifull at firesale prices, when the kucca hits the fan.
Funny, it seemed like yesterday, that our local Deere dealer was distressed because they had no compact offering with a Cab like Kubota had and had to go after market which lost them sales
I suspect that for suburbanites with any property large enough they were using a riding mower, a SCUTs will displace many of them -- especially in households where they want to have a garden, and/or want/need light material handling capabilities for other hobbies.
Considering I've already put enough hours on my L3560 (since buying it new) to match what I did on three (high priced) big box riding mowers before they either needed major repairs or replacement. So assuming the L3560 makes it to a normal CUT lifespan, or really anything over 600 hours makes its price seem a like a bargain by comparison particularly given the added utility.
Might just be me, but it seems more and more people are starting to re-realize that it's expensive to buy cheap things especially when/if the item needs to last....and so they're are willing to buy larger/heavier/more expensive tractors that will last.
