Kubota introduces new mower, mower deck, tractor and compact track loaders
The new Kubota Tractor Corp. F-Series 100-inch (in.) RCL100F-F36 Flex Mower Deck — for application on Kubota F3680 Front Mount mowers — has a 100-in.-wide cut width, yet mows with the precision of a 21-in. walk-behind mower.
