    i have heard there lighter, thus less stable...mechanically they are good - so i hear....find out it gross weight versus a new holland or MF of same horsepower.

    Ask the Kubota guy, how much he charges for the first two services. You might not like the answer.:confused:

    kubota 80kg lighter so little difference there kubota longer by a few cm so should be the same stability wise
    kubota has 8 speed powershift with auto/change seems to stack up well against main brands .i have been offered test drive on my own farm .i think its worth checking it out at least

    We got a m108s in 2009 and have been happy with her. Light on diesel compared to other yokes, tight lock and very light steering is handy in the yard, comfy enough. A few niggly problems like blowing fuses now and then, but overall we're happy out.

    have a m125x, the 130 is the newer model, i like it, that powershift is great, cab is small but nice and comfortable, good on diesel as mentioned. Massey is no doubt a fine machine also and probably be alot more saleable in a afew years if you decide to change again, as you say no harm to test out kubota anyhow

    have had kubota mini tractors and still have kubota mini digger. they are the toughest most reliable equipment you can buy. dont see why tractor would be any different.
