Here's a collection
of useful Kubota links and why I think you'll find them to be useful.
This is not meant to be an exhaustive list. Instead I've listed sites
that might want to visit several times. If you've got some links that
you think should be on the list, just mail it to me, and tell me what
sort of useful information you found there.
This is the best place to discuss
compact tractors on the web. There is a good mix of experts and people
who are just starting to think about buying a tractor, dealers and even
a few manufacturers. The search feature will turn up answers to most questions.
This is Kubota's official US website. Unfortunately, it doesn't have a
whole lot of information, but it would be hard to leave Kubota's site
out of this list.
Carver sells a lot of new and used Kubotas to people all over the country,
but that's not the point of this list. His site has a lot of useful information.
As a start, take a look at the tips
section.
You'll
find good detailed descriptions of various Kubota tractors here. They
had the newest models described with specs here before other sites did.
There is a lot to like about this site. They have a very complete list
of list prices on Kubota equipment and implements. Even better, they have
an online parts ordering
system that is convenient. The prices are good too! The site navigation
scheme is a bit weird, so it is sometimes hard to find what they have.
Their tip
section is worth looking at.
I'm including First Choice because I've bought a couple of implements
from them and I've been really impressed with the price and quality. The
company is new, but the people running it have been in the ag/industrial
implement business a long time. It is hard to appreciate something that
you haven't seen firsthand, but the site has recently been improved and
has a good bit of information about their products. You can buy First
Choice Equipment from Carver and Sweet Farm.
Midwest
makes some of the equipment that First Choice used to distribute. I've
got their core aerator and it is great. I've never got my hands on one,
but their boxblades look excellent too. Their design engineer, Jim McCuan,
is a regular at TractorByNet.
Sweettractor.com sells Kioti and other tractors. I've included them because
their site includes information and prices for a wide
range of implements. The site organization is a little haphazard, but
if you scroll around you'll find good prices on First Choice implements,
for instance. I've read a lot of comments from people on TractorByNet
that they ship heavy implements quickly, and the shipping charges aren't
too bad.
Messicks.com
has a couple of useful tools for looking up the part numbers for Kubota
(and other tractors). If you have ever made three trips to your dealer
before going home with the right filters, you'll appreciate this.
Kubota B-Series pricing. I put this site together to help people keep
track of list prices and to give an opinion about good and great prices
on Kubota purchases.
Here's
a great site for pricing on many brands of tractors. It has MSRP's on
tractors and implements, and even better, it lists the discounts that
the state of Minnesota has negotiated with various equipment manufacturers.
This is a new compact tractor site. It looks well organized, and as people
start contributing, it should end up being a good source of information.
