[AT] old Kubota

[John Hall]

 Although it is not antique, we brought a neat little tractor in the shop 
today. It is a L185 Kubota--I'd guess it is 25 years old--it is rather 
weathered. It seems to be a solid machine. The only thing I see wrong is the 
$600 quoted for a new radiator--we'll be sending the old one to a repair 
shop. Out of curiosity, how did these machines stack up against their peers? 
I think Kubota has really stepped up its game in recent years--there is one 
dealership about an hour from here that sells so many Kubotas that they 
dropped the Case-IH line after being a dealer for decades.
