Yeah, I saw you over there and started to jump in on your side, but the post was already dead for a few days so I decided not to kick a dead horse, so to speak.
I'm with you, RedDog - that sounded like a pretty high price for a Kubota 5030 - or maybe it is right in line, just we're used to paying for the machine, not a name. I'll bet your DK65 cost less than that 50 hp Kubota and can handle alot more load - pulling, lifting, etc. Of course, you didn't get that Kubota name - wait, since some folks couldn't seem to spell Kioti right, should I be spelling that Kabutee or something.
It is amazing how sensitive several (not all) Kubota owners are on the subject of Kioti. Don't seem to get that from the JD or NH owners, so I guess it is just a paint thing. And I agree, that from my observations, the Kubota paint is definately a shade or two different - it is certainly no closer than an Agco or Allis-Chalmers - i.e. they are all orange, but all different shades.
Oh well, you did a good job of pokin' at the kabotee owners. I'm proud of you.
