Kubota experts, in my search for clarity, I have run across something I find strange in the pricing of a 4701, not sure yet if it applies to other models...
I want an apples to apples comparison, so I am equipping all of my potential tractors as closely as possible. Hence, 2 rear remotes. This is not about whether I will need them, just about this pricing/selection anomaly.
There are two options on the 4701 build my Kubota for rear remotes. One is compatible with draft control, the other is not. My pea brain figured that the one compatible with draft control would be pricier. As it turns out, it is about $100 cheaper to get the compatible version. I don't plan to plow, so I don't think I want/need draft control. The website doesn't require draft control purchase to get the compatible version. For information purposes, the draft control option is another $483.
What am I missing? Why would I want to pay the $100 more for less potential function? Why would they even offer two options then? What is it about the compatible version that I want to avoid? My cynical mind seems to think there is a missing piece of information here. help!
