Kubota tractors are great work horses. It's just that when they do break the parts are expensive. I have 2 Ford 5000's, and the parts are cheep compared to Kabota.Ranch Dog wrote:So far I've not had any components fail. I don't put a lot of time on them, my 8540 is seven years old with 1400 hours. How many hours were on that cylinder?farmerjim wrote:Nice Tractor. Isn't it nice that Kabota gold plates all of their parts. I have a little 3410 for yard work. $1K for a steering cylinder, and 2 weeks later $ 125 for a 4 foot metric hydraulic hose. If it had been english, the local NAPA could have fixed it.
I've owned a Massey Furguson and Zetor, so far the Kubota is the best. The Zetor had several features that I liked; a castoring seat, air compressor, rear fender remotes, and others that are not possible with the Kubota. The Kubota is smaller, by a big margin, and 2K lbs lighter with the same HP which works well for me. The Zetor had component availability issues and a weak dealer network.
