If you own a Kubota, you know that the equipment is reliable and provides value for years. Whether it's for traversing your land with a utility vehicle - like an RTV520 - or taking care of landscaping needs on your property with a BX Series sub-compact tractor, our equipment is intended to last. But as with everything, new models and attachments can make a big difference in suiting your needs. In this article, we’ll share a few guiding tenants and considerations for leveling up your equipment lineup.
Trusting and Maintaining Your Equipment
First and foremost, it’s important to note that Kubota equipment owners have confidence on their side. Our sub-compact and compact tractor lineup all have been rated #1 for reliability in the under 100 HP category for tractors in the United States according to Progressive Farmer.* With reliability built into the product, Kubota equipment is intended to suit your current needs today and into the future. A key tip for getting the most out of your equipment for years to come? Proper maintenance. Be sure to always review your product manual and consult with your local Kubota dealer to understand how and when routine maintenance checks should be completed.
Adjusting to Your Changing Needs
While your equipment is built to last, you may realize that you have new needs for your property. Your current Kubota model may be able to handle the job, but there might be an alternative that works even better and harder for you. Property size is the most common motivation for enhancing your equipment. For example, let’s say that you decide to purchase additional land next to your large property, bringing your total acreage to 60 acres; it requires a considerable amount of clearing to create a feed plot for hunting. The Standard L Series you have in the shed would work, but the L60LE Series would offer deluxe features, allowing you to get the job done with even more comfort.
Customers should also consider how they intend to move about the property. Adding a utility vehicle to your lineup, like an RTV-X1140, would increase your versatility on the land with its convertible cargo bed that moves from a 1-row with a long cargo box to a 2-row standard cargo box.
Customizing Your Experience
Beyond looking to new models, there are many ways to upgrade your current Kubota equipment by accessorizing it to fit your new needs. With all of our Utility Vehicles, there are many accessories, including work-focused implements, which can be purchased along with the vehicle or even after purchase. Roofs, windshields and cab components can help improve comfort and keep the elements at bay. A variety of winches are offered, which can enhance your hunt experience or help get another piece of equipment out of a sticky situation. Brooms, debris blowers, snowblowers and spreaders can help make quick work of even the toughest jobs. Similarly, our subcompact and compact tractor lineups come with a host of available implements and attachments to complete the job, such as a third function valve, grapple or combination bucket, grading blades, mowers/cutters, etc.
Getting Advice from Your Local Dealer
The best place to start is talking with your local Kubota dealer to discuss how a new piece of equipment can level up your product lineup for all your large property and land management needs. Our dealers are first-hand Kubota experts who can customize recommendations to your specific needs and ensure you get the most out of your equipment.
