Did kubota not buy Buhler?

Think they used to sell rebadged 70 series NH tractors.

If that is the case then they have a lot of work to do to bring tractors up to standard to tempt drivers away from JD.

after the quote I’ve just had to swap my Deere for a deere they could be the master of their own downfall......

They own Versatile who in turn make the M8 though there was talk at one point of them selling Versatile but I very much doubt they will.

The Buhler tractor looks like a 8000 series Deere.

Saw rostelmash at agritechnica. Impressive.

You have to feel for Chris Powell who is selling Kubota just now. He has tried hard to get an unknown tractor brand on to farms, and as soon as the brand is starting to get known and accepted they up and off to HRN.
I know its business but still....

Can see hrn pushing hard with the sales pitch the next few months.
You think they'll give you an option for a respray?

Dealerships are getting out of hand in my opinion..
Ravenhill guy said they just got an email from Merlo, same from Kubota, try their best to promote a product and get dumped via email with no warning, business but pretty spineless

Have they sold many tractors?

The usual suspects had a demo around here when they first took on dealership.

But none sold in this area that I'm aware of.

A lot of these dealers think we are stupid take it you’ve had a dear price to change ?

Am I being cynical or does anyone else think that the move to Kubota is less about the tractors and more about ripping the , eminently more
Profitable, long standing KV Franchise from Netherton who have just basically done the same to them with the JD Franchise?? .

Erm, you don’t stay in business and keep the jobs of hundreds by being romantic and historical. You do it be being sharp
