In Germany we know te smaller ones, but bigger Kubotas are not sold here. I believe that german Farmers are very conservative. The other thing is, that asian Stuff is no more cheaper than european, like it was in the 70', when Toyota and Datsun started importing their cars. Even the smaller Kubotas are not so often to see here. The people who need this kind of Tractor buy Hako, Gutbrod, Agria even Dexheimer, Schanzlin, Krieger or Sauerburger. Maybe more expensive like Kubota or Iseki, but Deutz, MWM or Mercedes-Engines, ZF Transmission.

Woodbeef, according to the site of Kubota- and Fendt importer www.devor.nl as Kenjar mentioned, they have quit trying to sell the farm tractors here. I think the fleet of rentals De Vor had, is exported back to Japan. They tried to establish the brand trough very cheap rent tractors. But they never got a foot on the ground of the farm tractor market.

Hey Woodbeef, According to Kubota France www.kubota.fr/ the largest model sold in Europe is the M9000. Hey Bernhard, What can you tell me about the Agria? It may be the same line of tractors sold by Stonehall in the States. www.stonehall.com

Agria is at www.agria.net - The tractor on the Stonehall page looks identical to the Agria 885 Thinker, but Stonehall has no information posted.

Hi, the Agria 885 is not known in Germany.Also the walkbehinds are not the same like here. It seemed, that Agria-Spain is a part of Agria-Germany but with their own product range.
