Agage1 83 #1 Posted January 13, 2017 What are y'all s thoughts on the Kubota b5200. I just got a great deal on one. 4wd, loader, bush hog, and only 600 hrs! Never had a Kubota, anything I should look out for? So far I've heard all good things 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Achto 27,577 #2 Posted January 13, 2017 Kubota's are great little tractors. They only have two issues to my knowledge. 1 being that I've yet to see a Kubota engine that will start good the first time of the day without using the glow plugs, out side temp does not matter. OK so this is really more of an annoyance than an issue. I just don't think you should have to use glow plugs when it's 70+ degrees outside. The second thing is the pinion gear on the front axle, this has been know to strip out. This issue can be avoided by not ramming the bucket into things while in 4wd. If you ease into things you should never have a problem with it. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The second one seems to have a hit-limiter per month so becomes unavailable late in the month. http://www.orangetractortalks.com/ http://www.kubotabooks.com/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
