Used Kubota
tractors, originally sold in Japan, are being imported into this country.
These "gray market" units were not designed for sale in the
United States. They were designed and manufactured for the Japan market
and imported into the United States by individuals or entities independent
of Kubota and without Kubota's authorization.
These "gray market" units are different in several important
respects from the tractors that Kubota makes for the United States, and
which Kubota Tractor Corporation sells in the United States. These tractors
are not ordinarily equipped with important safety equipment such as ROPS
and seatbelt, PTO shield, safety decals, or operator's manual. Neither
Kubota Tractor Corporation nor its affiliated company Kubota Corporation
of Osaka, Japan, provides parts, service or any warranty support for Kubota
"gray market" units in the United States. There is no responsibility
whatsoever either by Kubota or its authorized dealers for these "gray
market" units.
Please be advised that since April 30, 1997, the importation, distribution
and sale in the United States of Kubota "gray market" units
under 50 PTO horsepower has been prohibited by a General Exclusion Order
of the United States International Trade Commission. If you wish to obtain
a copy of this Order, please write to our General Counsel:
