There are lots of goodies that are made, but not brought into the States. Ever seen a 20+ ton VW dumptruck? I've seen them all over Haiti, since the European Union has been involved there. I've seen a one ton, solid axle, diesel 4WD Volkswagon van, a Chevrolet Trooper, diesel Jeep Cherokee's, a diesel 4 door Ford Ranger, etc. Suzuki still makes Samurai's- they are called a Jimny. There is no doubt that Kubota could make equipment that isn't familiar to us in the states. There is also no doubt that someone could have thrown some Kubota stickers on it. If it has a Kubota engine, though, and there are examples overseas, it probably is a Kubota. I am surprised that it sold for such a high price. It is cool, but not that cool.
