I can honestly report that Kubota
Tractors are the best!
According to Mr. Fourie: "The dealer brought a model Kubota M8540 tractor to our orchard one day to be test-driven over a two-week period. One of the most astonishing advantages that became apparent was that this Kubota product consumes approximately 20% less fuel than the tractor of another brand that we had been operating. In fact, this factor played a significant part in our decision to purchase eight units.
He went on to say: "Time is saved and fuel consumption is further improved due to the short turn radius
that reduces the frequency forward and reverse movements, which, with the Kubota, happen without the need of ever having to depress the clutch pedal due to the action of the hydraulic shuttle shift.
Another benefit of this is that operations are able to continue for longer periods of time due to the fact that operator fatigue is significantly reduced.
Based on all of this, I can honestly report that Kubota tractors are the best!"
