Tractor Kubota is perfect for farmers

After searching two years for the utility tractor, Allen finally found  Kubota tractor what he was after. This was three years ago and Allen could not be happier with his choice.

Living up on the Hi-Line in north central Montana, Allen has been farming for as long as he can remember. He grows winter wheat and raises a few cows, utilizing his Kubota tractor for just about everything.

Allen said he likes his Kubota utility tractor so much, that if he had more cows to justify the use, he would get a bigger tractor.

Originating in Japan, Kubota Corporation soon became an international brand leader by designing environmentally compatible equipment. Today, the company sells products in more than 130 countries.

In the 1970's, Kubota Tractor Corporation was formed. Shortly thereafter, the first Kubota 12 horsepower, four-wheel drive tractor was introduced. Four-wheel drive was common in larger American tractors, but until that point was unheard of in compact tractors.


Known for "high performance and powerful maneuverability," Kubota now makes compact construction equipment, turf equipment, lawn and garden equipment, pumps, generators and a variety of performance-matched implements and attachments. In fact, Kubota builds more than 80 styles of tractors.

According to Allen, his final decision to purchase the Kubota tractor was because they "looked like a good tractor" and were known for their longevity.

Han's Kubota tractor has an attachable loader and backhoe. Allen said he uses it for daily activities, including mowing, cultivating, feeding and moving round bales. His dad uses his Kubota for working his trees and in the garden.

"It's something you use every day around the corrals, digging post holes, scraping corrals," Allen said. "We just use it all the time."

The glide shift transmission is Han's favorite detail. Not a hydro and not a gear drive as such, but more like a little power shift that can be shifted on the go, he explained. The Kubota tractor has 12 speeds forward. It also has a lot of PTO (power take off) for mowing, said Allen, which means he can back into places and mow.

Allen also likes the quick-attach loader and backhoe. He said he can have them on or off in a matter of minutes. He also has the quick-attach bucket, bale spear and pallet fork. All of these interchange in no time at all. "It is handy and versatile," he said. "But, I really like that transmission."

Allen said his wife also likes the Kubota because it is easy to drive and starts well. "We really like the pretty orange color," he added with a chuckle.

Allen purchased his tractors at Johnson Distributing in Great Falls, Mont. He said throughout the two years he was looking for a utility tractor, the business was really good about showing him what they had, and when the time came, delivered the tractor to his farm. Hans has yet to have his tractor serviced, and therefore said he cannot comment on the business's service department. "What we use ours for is just the little stuff and it works great," he concluded.
