Andy & Sandi Koshykar - Proud owner/operators of two Kubota 7040's
Having owned and operated two new tractors, produced by another major manufacturer, which nearly bankrupted us due to down time, transporting tractors for repairs, high fuel consumption, and dealerships and manufacturers who were severely lacking in capability to successfully repair their tractors, we were very leery of the Kubota salesman whom told us that he could not tell us about any suspected weak points in the Kubota tractors, which we were about to buy, because they did not have any come back in for repairs.
We have operated our Kubota tractors for two summer seasons now, doing contract work for Alberta Pacific Forest Industries. What a relief, getting up in the morning to start your day knowing that your tractors are absolutely reliable. Seeing clean oil come out of differentials and transmission are a welcome sight at oil change intervals, and hard to believe after what we have been through. We have done very little repairing on these Kubota tractors, even though we have severely stress-tested them. Servicing accessibility on these compact tractors show us the amount of thought and know how that has gone into the design of Kubota equipment.
Recognition of the value of the Canadian dollar, flexible payment plans and 0% financing by Kubota Canada, low fuel consumption, and no warranty work have made survival for us possible during the economic downturn. Thanks to Kubota, we can now see a lot of light at the end of the tunnel!
