Cross reference for a grey market Kubota mini hoe.

[alco]

Can anybody suggest a place to look, to find out what the North American equivalent machine is for a grey market Kubota U20 mini? A neighbour has one that is rumoured to be for sale, and I am interested, if I can figure out how to get parts for it. I'm hoping to find out what the basic equivalent for it was in North America, so I will have a machine to use for ordering parts at the dealer.

Thanks
Brian

The U series is sold here in the US and in Canada, they're zero tailswing apparently. The 20 model is not listed now or as a prior model. They seem to have been marketed in the UK and Europe, your neighbor maybe got one grey market?

Yes, it's a grey market machine. The U Series that is offered in North America now, is a whole lot newer than this machine. It's a pretty safe bet, that there is a very similar machine that was marketed under a different model number in North America that was a rough equivalent to this machine at the time. That's the info I'm looking for.

Pictures?

I don't have any yet. Flying back and forth to work eats up a lot of time.

I'm sure. As a rule with airline flights I spend more time in the terminals than I do in the air, sometimes even on coast to coast flights. Sucks.
