Today I picked my L2350F from service after 3 months, bill 5k+

[Gene721]

Replaced, clutch, flywheel polished, new starter, new flow valve, new hydraulic pump, fuel pump repaired, injectors replaced, wiring partially replaced, 3 hydraulic hoses, radiator pipes, all fluids and filters. In 3 months, the tractor worked 100 hours, but I kept quiet, since the tractor was not repaired by a Kubota dealer, but a truck repair shop. They did some work on my tractor, but I am still very pleased with the result, and the work done probably cost 5-5.5 thousand, this amount includes original spare parts. I think this is normal.

It’s a hefty tab at the shop but sounds like you got the work done that you wanted done.

They did a lot of work on it. Hopefully the tractor will last many more years.

Nothing is cheap anymore.

Sounds like you’re happy with the results, and that’s what matters.

If one takes into account the normal shop rates charged these days, that doesn't sound unreasonable for the amout of repairs done along with the new parts.

And on a very nice tractor to boot!!

If every one is satisfied with the work done and cost, that's all one can ask.

I sold a set of vehicle tires to a young man two days ago. He is a mechanic working for semi truck shop in K.C. He told me shop rate is $265 an hour! Doesn't take long to ring up a good bill.
