I think I would be surprised to see them introduce tractors that large. Their market has always been the smaller tractors, and while I am seeing more of the big model Kubotas around. I think they would be hard pressed to break into the large tractor market simply because John Deere, Agco, and Case NH already have those markets pretty well covered. Their competitive edge would only be if they could provide well built, well equipped tractors for less cost since the big three iron is mighty expensive. Buhler Versatile has already tried to market the old Genesis tractors for years at less cost for the most part they are not selling in this area. The people that buy big ones are those spend a lot of time in them and they want the best of the best. The big tractors are not used by weekend warriors like the majority of Kubota's small tractor market. Something else Kubota would need to offer is GPS to get into the big tractor market.
It is definatly possible that Kubota can get into the big tractor market. They do have a well established name of quality, and they already have an extensive dealer network. Buhler Versatile bought out the Genesis line of New Holland tractors years ago and they have been trying to sell them as cheaper alternatives to the current offerings to the big three, but in this area they are complete flops. I only know of one farmer who has bought one, and I think it was only because he got such a wickid good deal on it by the dealer trying to get rid of his demo tractor.
If Kubota tries to get into the big tractor market, their product I would imagine would be direct competiton with the Buhlers with nothing but a plain old powershift and a bare minimum of electronics. Will the folks who buy new big tractors want that? My gut says only a few. Todays farmers want all the latest and greatest technology, if they didn't then they would save big money to buy a used tractor with yesterdays technology in it.

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
