This may be a little off topic, but here goes.
Many (about 20) years ago, I saw a guy using a small tractor, about the
size of one of a riding mower. It had a power takeoff for a small
backhoe attachment (and other goodies). It had all wheel drive, but
instead of the usual front wheel steering, it had fixed front and rear
axles and was articulated in the middle with a hydraulic steering
system. The guy using it claimed that this thing could get into almost
any terrain.
I seem to recall that it as a Kubota, but I may be wrong. Anyone have
any ideas about what it is (was)? I didn't see anything like it on the
Kubota web page.

It may have been a Kubota, but wasn't as small as you remember... >> Stay informed about: Tractor? |

About the same ride height as a lawn tractor, but somewhat longer. The
tires looked like wide ATV tires, about 18 inches in diameter. The only
articulated machine on the Kubota web site is a loader. The machine I
saw was definitely smaller than one of those.
