I can only speak regarding grey market kubotas, but the answer to the question is not that they cant sell parts, it is that they dont have access to the overseas model parts book. A lot of the maintinance parts are available for the grey market tractors, but you need to have a motivated parts guy to help you find what the corresponding US model parts numbers are. Grey market is not the same as black market. Black market items are more likely to be counterfeit, or otherwise illegal to sell. Grey market is just not marketed here in the US. US products have to meet specific criteria, like safety interlocks (seat sensor anyone?), ROPS, shielding, particular options are available/not available in the US, etc. Grey market equipment is completely legal to own.
