Kubota STW40 Project update

[tunin]

I posted before about this tractor, it was purchased as a project tractor, parts missing and some items not put together correctly, fixed most of the issues but one that cme up after I made it a runner was a bummer.

The original Kubota rear hydraulic aux block was bad, took it off, took it to a hydraulics shop to be test3d, they determined the chambers burnt through so pressure supplied was all over the place. The solution was to purchase this from Kubota or mock something up with a universal block of some kinds.


long sotrry, I got the original Kubota with the help of some people. The one shocker was, this part YW27700105 is so freaking expensive, where is Kubota going to, I am scared owning one after this price tag. Have in mind, I did not pay this, it was covered by the insurance of the seller auction site.

what are your thoughts.

I researched the alternative solution if this insurance did not work out, I found a solution on https://www.rositeh.hr/pocetna with an electronic joystick and solenoid valve controlled block for 400,-

in my opinion, the EU subsidies screwed the industry, the manufacturers jacked up the prices of everything 300-400 %, because the “government“ is paying for 50-70 %….

Thinking you must be right about the EU subsidies impacting pricing. If it isn’t that, there’s something going on that’s got the price there inflated. It’s an expensive part but not at all comparably priced in the U.S.

It is scary, I wonder what a more substantial part would cost?

i actually called Messicks, They could not figure out the the part number for this tractor of mine…

I am thinking the some asian brands are more down to earth, a few friends of mine purchased some tractors from india and Turkey, their prts prices are sane.
