Years ago there was a dealer some what close in my area. There were several around. Fiend of mine bought one new because they were cheaper. The Kubota engine was no issues but the rest of the machine was a lot to be desired. They were a no frills machine. He had it probably five years until he was sick of it and sold it. I think you would find parts for the machine other than the engine hard to get now days. I would pass on it.
