A Rare Survivor Surfaces From Kubota's Forgotten Remote-Control Experiment

Roughly 40 years ago, when Kubota was still an unfamiliar name to most American buyers, the company built a compact tractor rated at 20 horsepower that could be driven entirely by remote control. The idea never caught on, and the model all but disappeared. One has now turned up intact, a rare survivor of that short-lived experiment. For anyone who follows the history of compact tractors, this is a genuine find.
