[AT] Small Backhoes?

[jtchall at nc.rr.com]

Not impressed with anything Kubota after dealing with an older small 
tractor. No dealer around could tell us what head gasket (there were 
multiples listed in the parts book) was needed and if it used a shim. I 
somehow got the phone number of a regional office for Kubota and it took 
those guys a while to figure it out. And no, it wasn't a grey market 
tractor.

"Kubota makes good stuff and parts are readily available."

Now wait a minute!  I would disagree with the last half of that statement. 
No company has given me more trouble in finding repair and replacement parts 
than Kubota.  NONE!  So when a good friend and fellow-collector made me an 
offer on my Kubota, I didn't have to think very long about accepting his 
offer to take the whole rig off my hands.
