    Thanks, Geohorn that's good advice, I wasn't trying to bash them at all or go around them. Honestly! I hope it didn't come across as such. They have been great, I just said I didn't know them or have a relationship with them previously. I totally agree, I definitely need them on my side!! I...

    Dealer thought it was a 50/50 shot Kubota would replace the engine.

    I wish I could give yall more answers, what a great group of people to try to help. I just know what the dealership said. They didn't go into too much detail just basically we had a tech look at it, it is really bad. This was probably after an hour of them having it. We thought it would throw a...

    L4701 I am an idiot how screwed am I ?

    I know the optimist in me says it was bad luck but the practical person says there is no way 10 minutes after becoming the owner, it goes to crap. Buyer beware is true. Even if wanted to pursue legal action, I am pretty sure I would have to prove they knew something was wrong with it when they...

    I did ask dealer if any warranty claims or service was on record for it, they said no.

    My understanding is the owner, which obviously doesn't seem to help me. Lesson learned on that one as well!

    L4701 I am an idiot how screwed am I ?

    Believe me I feel the same way Herno. Looking back when I test drove it, it was only in a 1-acre lot so I kinda did circles, moved the bucket and 3 point hitch, etc.....everything seemed to work fine. Lucky my wife was there and saw it all working etc.. LOL. I didn't rev it up much because...

    L4701 I am an idiot how screwed am I ?

    Good to know. I think it got an oil change at 50hrs according to the owner so for it to run for that long with no oil seems unlikely. Thanks for the input

    L4701 I am an idiot how screwed am I ?

    Talked to dealer they said they thought it might throw a rod if they kept running it so I guess that is bad. UGHH

    What does rolled mean? Like rolled back hours? Tractor was only 2 years old and looks brand new accept bucket is a little worn but that is to be expected.

    L4701 I am an idiot how screwed am I ?

    All great opinions really appreciate it and yes I should learn to spell it right. LOL. Just frustrated and typing on phone. Also hindsight I should have put it through its paces for much longer, I just figured with such low hours what could be wrong. Lesson obviously learned. Yes waiting on...

    L4701 I am an idiot how screwed am I ?

    Owner seemed like a great guy said no issues he knew of I really don’t think he was trying to screw me. He returned my call and even called dealer I took it too but I guess who knows for sure. I like to think positive of people until proven otherwise.

    L4701 I am an idiot how screwed am I ?

    I test drove it on Saturday it was delivered on Monday. Same hours on it. Only thing I can think is I really didn’t rev it up much on test drive. It’s was on a small lot. Needless to say I will never not take it to a dealer to look at before buying another. I’m no tractor expert either so it’s...

    The bad thing is literally owned it for 30 min before it craped out. Dealer said they thought it was a 50/50 shot. New engine is 14k they said. Fingers crossed Kabota does the right thing. 2 years old and 94hrs it sure is hell should be covered under power train warranty.
