Kubota's are designed in Japan and much like Japanese automobiles, the same quality standards are applied to their tractors. Although they have only been available in the United States since the late 1960's Kubota tractors have earned a good reputation among farmers.
For most farm applications, farmers normally need a tractor above 40 horsepower and although Kubota makes very good quality compact tractors, these tractors are better for landscape professionals. Growing up on a farm I became familiar with the demands of the tractor. On our small farm, we only had one 60 horsepower tractor, which meant that it had to be reliable. During seasons where the tractor is the most important piece of machinery and time is limited, the tractor has to work. We just didn't have time for breakdowns. Consider baling hay for a moment. When the sun was shining and the hay was dry, it had to be baled and the tractor had to work. A breakdown could mean that the hay got rained on and therefore was ruined.
Kubota tractors appeal to farmers because they have proven to be reliable. The L and M series Kubota tractors are well suited to farm operations as they have enough power to handle many routine farm tasks. If you're in the market for a new or used tractor, take a good look at Kubota Tractors.
