<p>I may own one of those orange things one day, but it won't be a
very old one. We got suckered into working on one a few years back
that was 25-30 years old. Local dealer support sucked. Had to get
parts from the northeast. Called every phone number I could find
until I got in touch with an older factory service tech.---nobody
new what head gasket to sell us. We kept getting the run around
about possible "gray market" tractors. The parts guys were
groaning just as soon as we gave them the model number. If its
old, I'll take IH or Deere any day over orange.</p>

<pre wrap="">I can remember driving by a Kubota dealership for the first time in 1970 on the way to take a military physical. The tractors sitting on that lot in 1970 would now be 49 years old.
