I just happened to be driving by the Denton location of Zimmerer Kubota this morning and noticed a new M126X Power Krawler sitting out front. Since I had not actually seen one before, I stopped to look and a very helpful salesman came out to visit. Of course I've seen some pictures of after market kits to make crawlers out of ag tractors, but this is a 100% factory job; very impressive tractor. And then the salesman took me into the shop and showed me another model I'd never seen; an M8540 Power Krawler narrow cab they were preparing for a vineyard in the area. It had a quick attach FEL (quick attach bucket, too, of course) on it and was only 54" wide. It also had a 3-point quick hitch but I didn't get the brand. They were also putting on what looked like a super heavy duty Gearmore Flail Mower/Shredder.

It was also the first time I'd actually seen an air-conditioned RTV1100.

All in all a very interesting, fun, and informative visit with a salesman who knew he wasn't going to sell me anything but still was friendly and took a lot of time to show me around and answer questions.

Those rigs are sure a step up (well, several steps up) from my B7100, B2710, and my brother's Kawasaki Mule.:laughing:

Our local dealer has told me about some models of tractors, mowers, etc. that are not available in the U.S. According to him, Kubota makes a lawn mower that is very similiar to a Walker and some other interesting machines.

That would not surprise me. I heard the crawlers are not really new; just new in the USA; been used in Japan several years.

Crazy thing is that they build them here and export them to Europe. I have no idea why they don't let us sell them.

He may not have sold you anything, however his helpfulness gained him more positive free advertising right here than he could imagine.
