SW OH | We keep about 75 skid steers at work. Mostly Bobcat. We got 1 new Deere last fall that always has a 40" planer on it. It's been with a few different crews and they all want one. We got 6 new Caterpillar 260s with planers in the past few months. I haven't heard anything about them, but they will be a pain to service just like older Cats. We also got 3 new Kubotas this year for dirt crews. I haven't seen them yet but from the looks of older ones they will be a pain to service. We also have 3 our 4 Case. They are constantly broke down.
Over the years we've had many machines with Kubota engines. They rarely make past 4,000 hours before they digest themselves. Hopefully they have gotten better.
We had 4 tractors years ago with brooms on the front and blades on the back. L5240HST 4X4. Multiple front wheels fell off. 2 broke in half at the front of the transmission. At least 1, maybe 2 had the rockshaft housing ripped off. The only Kubota tractors around here are estate tractors.
