Kubota World

The Japanese are amazing and they make amazing machines. The Mayor and his deputies have known this fact for years. Ever since a Sony transistor radio was gifted to the young mayor by his father(sometime in the 50's), this was understood. This was followed by a Kenwood stereo receiver-state of the art for music reproduction, a treat for the audiophile. Then the assorted Japanese cars that showed up: Toyotas, Hondas, Lexus, etc.
Out in the rice paddies of Honshu, Kyushu, ans Shikoku, farmers were converting from oxen to motorized equipment powered by Japanese made motors of exceptional longevity, reliability, efficiency, affordable cost. The Yanmar motor became widely recognized as best in class. This was punctuated by the John Deere Tractor Corp. of America, when in the 70's, they opted to install Yanmar motors in their line of compact tractors to compete with Ford/New Holland, International, and all the rest. And then there is Kubota.
That bright orange signature color has become commonplace on the landscape, showing up in all the usual places: farms, ranches, orchards, vineyards, stables, feed lots, golf courses, city parks, and construction sights. The Kubota line, from compact to massive, has been able to compete with the big boys now for years. So, it was not surprising that the Minister of Agriculture submitted a request for a piece of machinery that would expand the stable of rollingstock : a fine Kubota L2600DT. A great tool to complete jobs often requiring significant man hours. NOw, the job can be done in shorter time and with far fewer man hours invested. This equals savings in dollars!
A view to the website of Kubota will tell you all you need to know. Have fun.
