Am I missing something, or is there a need for a dedicated Kubota forum, on this site?
Seems there is a lot of discussion, regarding them.

My first thought was Kubota hasn't been around that long to be a yesterday's tractor but I looked it up and the company was started in 1890. I wonder if all the old tractors are in Japan.

The one I saw wasn't much bigger than a garden tractor and had a loader and backhoe on it. I was home on leave, summer of 78. Dad sent me into the IH dealer in Alexandria MN to get some parts for him. They had taken Kubota on while I was in Germany. IIRC it was Hustad's IH/NH/Kubota.

Ha! There are supposedly dedicated forums for several different things on this site. None of them run true.

I'm unaware that Kubota ever built an airplane but they sure build good tractors!
Stephen. At that time their product was ductile iron pipe. At one time the company was the larges producer of cast iron pipe in the world. Tractors were not a part of the company till years latter. They are still one of the largest producers of vending machines in Japan as well as modular housing and other things. Very diverse company with money.

I have a B5200 I bought in 1987 and it's still being used. It was terribly abused so it has a number of problems but I use it all the time.
A Kubota forum would probably see more action than the Fordson forum which collects a fair amount of dust on a weekly basis. If this site is maxed out on capacity then Fordson should be rolled into into the Ford board. If there is additional capacity then Kubota needs a board and CaseIH should be separated from IH to keep the blood pressure down for those still stewing over the merger back in the mid-1980's.

Tee, you gonna guaranty that 100% of that inferior JD is made in the US? :lol: :lol:
Especially now that Deere wants to force you to bring it to them for any repairs.
I know where you are coming from. So lets go back to before 7 Dec 1941. Lets go back to 1929. 29 Oct to be exact. What happened? Not what you were taught in grade school. What really happened? We started refusing to buy foreign made goods. Foreign countries stopped buying US goods. Without the influx of foreign money buying our goods business dropped off triggering the great depression.

Actually the Great Depression was a world wide depression. FDR didn't take office until 1933 so the start wasn't his fault. Because of our isolationist stance they would not allow him to build up the military in order to get folks back to work. England was much the same way. Both the British and us had to try public works to get people back in the work place. Hitler who took power in 1933 took Germany out of far worse economic conditions than that of us or England in 3 years. He did that by trashing the Treaty of Versailles and rebuilding the Germany military. Increased factory orders for uniforms, cookware, ammo, weapons, ships, aircraft, vehicles and other things needed for a military called people back to work. These people now had money to spend creating a ripple effect. The US and British governments couldn't hire enough people with public works to really make a dent.
England got out of the depression in 1939 when they entered WWII. While we start to come out in 1940 with orders for war materials from England we were not officially out of the depression unit something in 1942.
I can name a lot of things I thing Roosevelt did wrong......but I will not blame him for problems he inherited.
