I certainly agree with JD Seller on this one. I have been around this industry now for 75 years and I think the older one gets the more this accident and death thing bears on him. Selling KUBOTA for years I had a few customers have accidents but here is one that will never leave my mind. About 20 years ago I would have been 55 got a call man wanting to trade for a new KUBOTA.
