I have a new L4701. I added the brush grubber as an attachment. While grubbing the PTO electrical plug was pulled out by brush and the little "foil-like" filament broke off. Kubota has quoted me $1,250 parts plus another $800 in labor to fix this. They have to install a new wiring harness.
What I don't get is, why don't they just sell the $5.00 connector? This seems like a really stupid easy fix, why do they make it difficult? And why put this PTO electrical input under the tractor where it can get ripped off?
I wish I'd have done more research on this model of tractor before purchase.
I've talked to the Kubota customer service person who sympathized with me. He basically told me it was an issue with that tractor and they would hopefully correct it in the future. If this was a automobile they would have recalled this model and fixed it free. I'm gonna be out $2,000 and what's to prevent this from happening again?
Frustrated with the Orange tractor corporation right now.
