I was surprised that MF outsell Case. Sad to see it really.

Valtra going from strength to strength. They should outsell Fendt in reality, being a bit cheaper but near every bit as capable.

If you add up Fendt and Valtra they still don't sell as many as MF.
Put the three together and they still don't beat JD.

I don't care either way, just pointing it out.

There’s 2 kubota dealerships with 10 miles either way of me. Both seem to be doing well.

Apparently there is a kubota dealer moving into Kilcot on the Gloucester rd, its Buildbase,s old building, I think Ted hopkins is the business owner, its about 2 miles from me. I might be interested if they do one in Black.

IIRC JD imported tractors to the UK, registered them and shipped them back to Europe to manipulate the sales figures.

Has that stopped now with Brexit?

Would,t surprise me if price is a factor, i mean the new chinese G series is approx 66k for a fairly basic model, thats a modest 130hp. can,t see them selling like hot cakes.

I wonder if the "above 50hp" bracket is now bringing in the top end of the lawn / groundcare market which might explain why the kubota number is surprisingly high. The article that accompanied the graph I posted had a good piece on average HP per year, back in 1996 I think it was around 100hp and now its over 170hp I think or certainly around those numbers if I remember correctly.

HRN have also done a good trade in Kubota since the JD franchise moved so if that is repeated across a few areas then its maybe not quite as surprising.

Definitely more higher HP Kubota's in our area too.

When we bought a kubota it was a fair bit cheaper than other brands

Claas, Fendt and MF have gained some share. Claas sold like ~6% back in 2019 when they were sold by another dealer. Many more "losers" on the 2020 list.

They used to have a strong line up of machines, now it's just a NH clone.

How's the Kubota going? Many hours?
The local Kubota dealer is also the New Holland dealer which I've always thought is a bit odd. As a result you don't see many and the market for yard tractors is very big here.
