yeah I put it to Case about the warranty and they dont seem to want to move on it, they will give you 3 year warranty if you go up to the 6.7l 150 maxxum but that's much more power than I need.. saying that the kubota comes with a 4 cylinder 6.1l engine compared to the 115s 4.5l. hopefully when I go to trade it in the kubota brand will be better known.Push your case dealer for a warranty to match,the kubota won’t be a bad machine but as posted your going to have to convince the next owner it’s a good buy.
do you know what one they got?Next door has just purchased a second Kubot. Very happy with them.
there's only about 5 grand between kubota and case but everything is an optional extra with case and standard with kubota. the multidoc with case is 600 extraI was at the ploughing championships one year recently, and we were over looking at what I must admit was the largest Zetor at the stand, think it was the new Crystal rangetopper. I said to a mate that was with me that it looked a fine tractor with a fairly good spec. His response stuck with me, he said you are right, it is a fine tractor, but if you are going buying new, and have the money to buy new, then why would you buy a Zetor unless it was half the price of the competitors which it wasn't to be fair.
Hedgecutter lad around is after upgrading 1 of his kubota for a new 1 in last 12 months. His running a few of them so must be happy enough. Id say if you had a tight yard, kubotas ,bi speed front axle would be handy.there's only about 5 grand between kubota and case but everything is an optional extra with case and standard with kubota. the multidoc with case is 600 extra
Case quoted me on a 4 year warranty,only thing I’ve heard about kubota warranty was they tried to get out of claims.yeah I put it to Case about the warranty and they dont seem to want to move on it, they will give you 3 year warranty if you go up to the 6.7l 150 maxxum but that's much more power thaI need.. saying that the kubota comes with a 4 cylinder 6.1l engine compared to the 115s 4.5l. hopefully when I go to trade it in the kubota brand will be better known.

That's the same displacement engine as in the 170 kubota so will be at its easeyeah I put it to Case about the warranty and they dont seem to want to move on it, they will give you 3 year warranty if you go up to the 6.7l 150 maxxum but that's much more power than I need.. saying that the kubota comes with a 4 cylinder 6.1l engine compared to the 115s 4.5l. hopefully when I go to trade it in the kubota brand will be better known.
Our Fendt 516 is only just over 4litre displacement with 163hp. A big variation between tractors!That's the same displacement engine as in the 170 kubota so will be at its ease
Diffferent era but a Ford 6640 is 5 litre and 85hp.Our Fendt 516 is only just over 4litre displacement with 163hp. A big variation between tractors!
I guess the cars are gone the same way. 190hp from a 1.9-2 L diesel.Diffferent era but a Ford 6640 is 5 litre and 85hp.
I think the new one is 160hp? Older one is 135.do you know what one they got?
Evo X FQ-440 MR – Engine rated at 440 hp, 2 litre turbo petrol.I guess the cars are gone the same way. 190hp from a 1.9-2 L diesel.
It's going the other way too, vw dropped the 1.6 diesel engine from the new Golf, only available in 2.0, these small engines did well in emissions tests in the labs but they are not going do well in the new real world, wltp tests.It's funny the way these things change. Some heavy plant seems to be moving the opposite direction again to larger engines running at lower revs whereas the trend for the last long while has been towards smaller higher revving engines
The new maxxums are a great tractor have a 2018 one myself and can't fault it. They're a fairly basic machine and there's not much to go wrong with them. They also have a power boost on them so the 115 will do 145 engine hp when it's needed which is definitely worth considering. Not sure if kubota have a power boost on their tractorsI recently tried the new kubota and I'm very impressed with spec and the 5 year warranty which seems hard to beat, but it's the fear of the unknown holding me back. any advice would be greatly appreciated.
its between the kubota and a Case ih maxxum 115.
