I just got back from the farm show in Louisville, KY. Kubota sure brought their "A game" to the show.
They brought two new tracked skid steer models.
The new M100x, with a new loader that isn't even listed on their website yet. It has a whopping gain of about 1,000 lbs of lift capacity over the previous model LA1353.
The had dozens of small to medium compacts, utv's, zero turns, etc...
One of the coolest booths in my opinion was for Quicke loaders. They have a line of loaders that has a plc style electronic controller with a video game style mini joystick and a small function display screen in place of a traditional large joystick. They also had a full size tractor cab that you could sit in and like a video game you could drive a "virtual tractor" and use the loader, and drive the tractor around the barn yard. Out the front windshield was a large movie screen that displayed the action as viewed from the seat. Way,way cool!
