How do you reckon kub will do in the larger market?
Tractors seem a bit marmite so far

They are loosing their way on the compact front too. Buying shares in an Indian tractor manufacturer to sell an orange tractor with a Mitsubishi engine and the usual shitty Indian spec.

is it only me that’s failing to get excited? if I’d have wanted one of them I could have bought one in case colours at any point in the last 20yrs. Is it going to be a better digger in orange

The bigger tractors are gash!!

I much prefer the new jcb 145 if I’m being honest

Drove one the other week..
I mean it's ok for a hobby farmer etc but it wasn't a kub. Dealer said the same.
Why do they do it 🫤

Won't be about a better digger. It will be about more dealers and pushing more products through hire firms that are currently multi brand. The same as the leiberr duck now available in orange

i dare say its going to be expensive

CSW will have one, all singing all dancing 300k 14t excavator

It's modern economics..... Take a "reputable" brand. Badge some shite and let the halfwits buy them.

Kubotas problem is they haven't made anything of significance since the early 2000's..... It's just been rehashed s**t lacking development.

Perhaps they need to make some effort.
