What a dilima??? My sexy little tractor isn't what it seems...

Nor am I. You pay a lot of money for new equipment the least they can do is proviede a hard copy of a user/owners manual. Who wants to be outside looking at a certain situation with a tiny little phone screen or a laptop or ipad?

Exactly!

I don't know what's up with Kubota now, but I just bought a brand new $20,000 (canadian) K-Connect and snow blower for my RTV and Kubota Canada corporate is telling me they no longer have print owners manuals??? Not even service....the owners manuals.

I showed them what I was SUPPOSED to get with my new product and they finally found PDF files in what they said was their "electronic archives."

What other companies sell you brand new machines with no owners manuals?????

That seems to be the norm of lately. Not just Kubota. Recently purchases from Honda and Suzuki can’t find shop manuals. Owner’s manual have gotten better covering basic maintenance. Shop manuals are electronic priority to dealers till they get leak out.

I'm not sure how real this is, but back when I bought all the paper parts and service manuals from my Kubota dealer they were $80 each.

Now my dealer is trying to tell me they are $800 Canadian? He said Kubota does not want to do paper manuals at all any more.
