Okay, I know.... not really the 4wds we normally share information on, but I'm considering purchasing one of these imported packages in the new year. Maybe some of you are into this sort of gear.... Are they any good, realiability, parts etc? I'm on
hill country, up to pruning and thinning first plantations of pine and various other
farm duties. One of little fellas might just be the thing my wife could use around the stables etc. They come standard with a rotary hoe, but the importers supply heaps of implements to go with them. Second, second hand they can be picked up with
grader blades, slashers and front end loaders. Easy to put on a trailer and move between blocks. Thanks Royce

Royce, We use Kubota Diesel engines to pump water, attached to a pump of course, and they are very good. Couple of other stations have the bigger tractors and think they find them good as
well. Know a couple of yard builders that have been using Kubota 3 cyl engines coupled to Lincoln welders, for over 20 years, and they just keep going. One these yard builders also has a Kubota tractor that he does everything with, digs post holes, drives cut-off saw, use as crane,
fork lift, the list goes on. His is about 30-40 HP.
As for spare parts, they are pretty good, with good parts back-up out of
Melbourne. Reliability is excellent - there may be cheaper gear about, but don't think they can match Kubota's -parts, service, reliability.
Get a front end loader, they are magic, shift soil, bags of feed, use as crane. Slashers are better than the Victa! Don't think much of the small
grader blades, unless your soil is very friable. Make sure you get a ROPS, think they are mandatory now anyway. Gotta go, I'm off to
check a Kubota engine, thats been going for since 23rd, pumping water up to 14 km. Trust you had a good Christmas. Regards...
