When I was there Koreans had even smaller tractors to work the rice fields. Bet that’s not true anymore.
While on leave in Japan in 1960, travelling by train from Hokkaido to Kyushu and back, I saw scenes like this. But the little tractorette being used was a certain shade of orange. Who could have foreseen at that time, what would become of Kubota?
In the early 1960’s my dad made a tractor very similar to that, I still got it. Made from a late 40’s Wisconsin auger engine, a Minneapolis Moline combine clutch, 1935 Plymouth tranny & a 1952 Nash narrowed rear end.
