Ugliest Kubota ever

[Will]

I figured I'd take a look at Kubota's Japanese site, just to see what's coming down the pipeline. Well, I don't know what this thing is, but it is certainly the ugliest contraption I've ever seen. It looks like a cross between a tractor, a wheelchair and a golf cart.

Hey, Hey, Hey! Watch those comments about golf carts! No self-respecting golf cart would go anywhere near that...that....thing!! /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

Looks like someone bolted wheels and assorted lawn furniture to a jet ski. I have to agree with you, that is one of the ugliest contraptions I've ever seen.

Good Lord !!!
Looks like it was custom made for ET
The aliens have landed and taken up farming or is that golfing, or mabe jet sking ?
I am confused !!

If this looks like gibberish, then maybe were not set up for Japanese on this site. At any rate, I ran it through a translator and it says:

As for joy cam junior, feeling at rest by anyone, ther very popular"joy cam which can do riding job" furthermore it actualized charm, at convenient price, they are 4 provision planting rice transplanters of the lightweight compact. Preeminent cost performance charm! With obtaining arm standard equipment, getting off, it can do relieved job slowly.

They have lots of these <A target="_blank" HREF=http://www.jnouki.kubota.co.jp/lin_up/syohin/taueki_s/taueki_s.html> things.</A> I attached a picture of their snowmobile/lawnchair model.

Thanks for the translation, Will - that cleared everything right up /w3tcompact/icons/tongue.gif.

Will,
That ugly thing is a rice transplanter.

I thought two Segways had collided with a lawnchair. Better not let JD see that or they will try and build one. J

Driving to work today, I saw something on a trailer that looked like this machines cousin. It looked like a Polaris snowmobile (it said Polaris on the side) with 4 rubber tracks, one at each corner. It had a 4'x4' (guess) plate mounted on the front. I'm guessing that it was some sort of compactor.

Gotta beat doing it by hand. I spent 1 - count 'em - ONE day with a hand sickle bent over in a paddy replanting rice when I was in SEA. - Man was that tough - I felt it for a week.

The big question is: Can you get a Front-End Loader for it? /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

There is a company that builds those tracks to go on 4WD ATVs and full size pick up trucks. I forget the name of the company that builds the track systems.
