I need a couple more keys for my chipper. It looks generic and I think a ton of chippers use the same key. Any idea where I could buy one of these bad boys online.

I would think if you had one key it would be very easy to have it duplicated at a lock shop or even some place like Lowes .

I checked 2 key shops and both said about the same thing.

But now that I've been googling "kubota key" instead of morbark, I've found tons of them. I'll see if I can't take some of jeff's keys off his hands otherwise I can buy them online for like $2 each.
 
I guess it's different in a big city down there. We have a kubota dealer in town plus I'd bet our local locksmiths stock those keys.

I would think the opposite. I would bet there are hundreds more chippers around me than you. I think there are like 400 tree services in LA.

But then again- there is a key shop on every major intersection. Hundreds or thousands in LA.

So maybe before you could tell them it was a kubota key is when they couldn't help you? Seems odd to me to be a key store but you couldn't get a key that common?
 
Kind of funny to me that you're in a huge city with hundreds or thousands of key stores and for all I know a dozen kubota dealers yet its easier for you to order online. Whereas I'm in hickville by comparison and could drive five minutes out of my way to get a key like that from another human being.
 
Kubota dealer that carries their mini excavators and wheel loaders nick. I have 2 kubota wheel loaders. And kubota diesels on 2 nifty lifts, and it's the same key on all of them. They have them behind the counter.

No. I do. But it's 29 miles away in Pacoima. To get up there and back would be a 2 hr trip and would cost about 2 gallons in gas.

2 gallons of gas costs more than the $8 it would cost online.

So yeah- I'll be getting these on eBay.
