Sadly, that's our world now, and not likely we're going back.

Yep. Kubota over the years has made a good, solid, reliable engine. But now that engines are pretty much have to be designed using space shuttle technology, well, all brands struggle with the burden that comes with it. I recently moved to a new job, last week went out with one of the bosses to check out a used truck to use as a yard dog, and, to use as a back up truck when the brand spanking new Peterbilt tractor is in the shop. I replied "it's a new truck, it WILL be in the shop". Sure enough, that's where it currently resides, shop bay at the Pete Store.
I wager this stuff is all too new (dealing with tier 4 compliance) for aftermarket to catch up with any speed, it's a new world for that. Heck, we're all trying to wrap our heads around making engines with the workings of R2D2.
