Have Kubota bought Sumo?

[ACEngineering]

Not impressed with a RTV x900 on a 66 plate I got in workshop at the minute.
Rubbish build compared to older model!

Zoom it out a bit and it'll be a big combine............

The cab would be like Crystal Palace though

With the Kubota/Versatile tie-up, a Kubota combine maybe nearer than you think!

Perhaps it's just far away......

Still relevant as it has cows in it.

Shaun who was sumo1 sold out a few years ago to a couple of shareholders, 1 that had something to do with coffee and the other something to do with potatoes/crisps and the build quality took a backward step IMO, some parts on the trailed trio we bought last year just aren’t as strong as they used to be and still waiting on the new redesigned brackets to hold the coulters on the back of roller, last I heard Shaun and his wife were running a guest house

Haha, thanks Bob, some of what you've written is true, but I have to correct you on the last point, running a guest house is definitely not my bag, fortunately I'm now doing what I like best, designing all kinds of stuff

I wish you didn't reply and I could delete my post

 

[Steevo]

A little bird told me there is more truth in this than you think.....but it's actually Sumo who are in talks to buy Kubota.

Kubota and MF could be a nice combination! But don't think AGCO would let them go.

I could see massey being sold off from agco.are they really needed with challenger,fendt and valtra being premium brands.

Not suppose to sell Case from Arclid just kubota.

I can’t my self Fendt & Valtra are being pushed as premium brand, but worldwide MF must be large part of business in sales, UK and Western Europe is small fry

I thought an Indian tractor manufacturer had bought MF.

Tafe would be the likely one if it happened.
