Right? All over me calling Kubota of Culpepper out on trying to get me to pay extra $$ "out of my pocket" for warrantee/Insurance work. Sounds like busted double dipping. I cant think of anything else.

Not sure about them saying "you will have to go somewhere else" and then blacklisting me from everyone else. Thats okay, they want to go scorched earth, Im down!!

Take it to another Kubota dealer and give them your wife's maiden name. Just pay for the work and keep your mouth shut. Have the insurance company reimburse you after you pay for the work. Then keep the tractor or trade it for another model tractor.

Insurance guy gave me a list of people to check with, that they deal with. I will look into them next week. I was supposed to do it this week but I have been swamped at work.

Sadly, I gave my ex the boot to Florida (god, so peaceful now), so, I would have to barrow someone elses wife :eek: .

I do like the idea though....

Please send me your address. I know quite a few people who will be happy to send their wives your way. I am keeping the good-looking, slim, young ones for my stable! :ROFLMAO:

Trust me: Cleaning windows ain't NEARLY worth the purchase price!
I bought/owned for 34 years, but have been renting for the past 24.

You all must suck at picking wives, mine's 100% awesome!
Wouldn't trade her for even a new kubota! ;)
And that's really saying something, because I really would like a new Kubota! :p

I too, thought mine was great..... for 34 years.
Then the chit hit the fan!
I learned, the hard way, that a tornado can strike anywhere, at any time! (and destroy everything that you have worked for)

Women (not all, not all, not all, but most) are like McDonalds french fries lost in your car, they can stick around for a long time but they eventually go bad...

IMHO there's a lot more involved to be a good wife than a woman being good looking/slim & young. I'll choose very good cooking abilities & easy to get along with over those items. My first slim, good looking wife could barely boil water so cooking good tasty food was out of the question. I also determined in the 15 yrs I was married to her she had some other undesirable traits!

On subject of dealer charging for what should be covered under warranty I agree one needs to contact Kubota home office. Granted manufactures warranty normally doesn't cover travel time or tractor transportation costs.

Same here! Been married for 58 years. Never wavered thru both good and bad times. It's been a terrific partnership.

Looks to be still an issue

This will be remembered for a long long loooong time!! And shared.......

I already had an insurance claim number, so, that was all covered. With Warantee and Insurance in effect, it should not have cost me a dime.

Some do hit the jackpot, congrats my man! :)

I THOUGHT I had a similar situation for 30+ years.
Surprised one day, to learn that she "liked" one of my friends better!
Twas a nasty ($$$$) surprise for me!
