People sometimes find it a bit strange that an agricultural machine comes with the manual, in the same way that a dishwasher or DVD player has an operating manual. Kubota manuals are theoretically available with every piece of Kubota machinery, ranging from their small garden tractors through to large-scale industrial and agricultural excavators.
Kubota manuals normally have three distinct parts, and may come as three separate Kubota manuals or as one Kubota manual. The purpose of a Kubota manual is to provide information in the areas of operating the tractor, servicing the tractor and understanding the various parts and their constituent point in the make up of the tractor.
Kubota manuals can be read to understand how to operate a tractor or excavator, and it is certainly good practice to do so.

There will be a lot of information about safety protocols and how to operate the Kubota tractor or excavator in a safe manner.

If you are buying a used or second-hand Kubota tractor, then it is more difficult sometimes to aquire the relevant Kubota manual that goes with it. It may be that the owner of the tractor has the original Kubota manual and gives it to you upon sale. If so that is a good thing. It is also a good thing to try and get a current version of the Kubota manual, either from a dealer or a Kubota website.
Kubota manuals are continually updated and may seem less relevant in today’s world given that so much information is available about Kubota tractors online, through Kubota websites and through discussion forums such as tractorbynet.com. It is important to realise however that because of the lifespan of a Kubota tractor which can easily be 40 – 50 years a relevant Kubota manual is really important to give guidance on a whole range of servicing and maintenance procedures.
