"We could not live here without this utterly dependable, versatile and powerful friend. I have adapted a backhoe, bought a tiller, built a number of helper attachments, and then proceeded to abuse this little orange sweetheart almost daily. Other than careful maintenance, no other issues have come up. Starts flawlessly from -40F. to +30F. More power would be nice, but this thing is sufficient as is. We are in love with it!"
"Have used the tractor very little so far other than plow snow. Already have an issue with the 3 point hitch which stopped working."
"Great little tractor. 4WD, diesel, HST...can't be beat. This little tractor has done everything I have asked of it. Servicing seems simple. Keep it well greased and it will just keep going."
"Was a little worried about the size, but it has done nothing but surprise me, of course a bigger tractor would be better but I couldn't afford bigger. Very happy. Had 320 hrs. when I bought it, now has 510."
"This little tractor with snow blade or tiller can drive under a 6'6" door (6' wide with the snow blade) The 20HP is great for cleaning out small barns :-) Beats a wheelbarrow every day. With love, it starts at -20C and will clear a Kilometer of driveway of snow... faster than a shovel!"
"This was a great choice of compact tractor and came with a front end loader and also a bush hog, which I've not as yet used. I unhooked it and bought a backhoe for it and have used that combo for the last 2 years. The tractor itself has only blown 3 hydraulic hoses in the work that I've made it do. The backhoe (a different manufacturer...Wallenstein) was a disaster and came with poor hydraulic hoses that didn't stand up to much,(and not overworked), so not a Kubota issue. This year we moved 15 Tons of gravel/screening and even got it to do sod lifting using the front end loader edge from a parking pad that we made out back to park the various utilities on. That was a 544 Sq Ft pad and it was a tedious job, the one that finally blew the 2 small front end loader lift controls at the very end of the project. I highly recommend the Kubota product it more than met my expectations over the last 3 to 4 years. This year really tested it's metal! I've been thoroughly impressed!"
"I bought this unit to help with all the chores required to be self-sufficient. The only problem is that we are close to totally dependent on this little workhorse. It plows snow, rototillers the large garden, carries anything, landscapes, raises walls, digs ditches, and any thing else I can think of trying. A little more power would be nice, but not really necessary."
"This is a fun tractor for a small property. I use it in winter for snow and summer for "brush hog" and loader garden work. I love my Kubota."
"Bought this summer as we bought a small acreage that needed attention. This machine has no problem turning a 60 inch rough cut mower, a 54 inch rotovator, 72 inch blade and 60 inch snowblower. Machine looks small but packs a lot of punch, very impressed."
"I'm 88 years old now and the Kubota B1700 will out last me as it has never failed to start or give me any trouble. I don't like the newer ones as they have to much plastic on them now."
