Recent discussion Alberta startup sells no-tech tractors for half price (2320 points, 6 months ago, 779 comments) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47865868

Way to go. No perma rent to pay for inflated priced parts and labor after paying for the tractor.

You can already buy tractors like that from Kubota, a company that has been around for 136 years. I would just do that and avoid the risk of the new company going under and being stuck without spare parts.

This company reminds me of other companies that rebrand an existing idea and try to sell investors on the idea that it’s a new thing. Directional boring becomes ‘microtunneling’ and some startup thinks they’re revolutionizing a mature product that has been around for decades, they improve the process slightly but it’s much more expensive.

Well Kubora is Japanese and not local to that region. My search shows that the given tractor company is using a well known engine with no digital components as well as common components with max availability. There is a market for it in Alberta.
