    New tractor with 37 hours *updated*

    Thank you! I had no idea about that! I did have them switch from R1 to R4. I did say i want as wide as possible. For all I know, they are the MX series wheels. I tried to get R14s but we couldn't find them with the same wheel dimensions as R4 within their supplier network. No regrets though...

    Right, i think that is what happened. If you're really curious, here's another couple pictures taken under 50 hrs. I didn't see any wear at all

    New tractor with 37 hours *updated*

    I emailed them again, this time with proof of the hours when they dropped it off. It was forwarded to manager and he wrote a check. Not quite the difference between new and trade in, but I consider it fair.

    Thanks for your reply. You make great points. I have photos showing hours when dropped off so I'm emailing the salesman now. He ignored this in my last email while responding to a different section of the email so I will likely have to talk to someone higher. You make a good point about service...

    Good points. Unfortunately I paid full price. I'm hoping to work something out with them.

    New tractor with 37 hours *updated*

    You're right. I've just had a heck of a year. Lost everything in a tornado (matador tx june of this year) Working on rebuild/replacing everything and have had so many issues with companies. I'm just tired. And I love the tractor so I don't want issues when i bring it in for service. That said...

    New tractor with 37 hours *updated*

    Unfortunately I'm not sure. I drove to see it before it was shipped to my dealer but didn't have too much time to look over everything and i just assumed it was under 10

    New tractor with 37 hours *updated*

    This has been bothering me for a while now. My L4060LE was dropped off with 37 hours 2 weeks ago. I love the machine, no issues. I purchssed new, the dealer had this one brought in from another location. They had to add the backhoe frame, swap tires and flush the old diesel (sitting 6...

    Hose clamp boots!

    Splitting hose is a good idea! I do care about the paint. I hear kubota paint leaves some to be desired

    Hose clamp boots!

    I should clarify this was a rental machine that came this way. One side had that 'boot' and one side did not

    Hose clamp boots!

    Right, the vinration and slight movement of the hose when its working is killer. I actually damaged the hose on the other side with normal use. It didn't have any protector for the hose clamp

    Hose clamp boots!

    I'm taking delivery of an L4060 in a few days and I noticed zip ties from the factory securing hoses to cylinders. While probably fine for a few years, I have seen a better way (photo attached) but unfortunately I cannot find the name of that rubber boot protecting the hose under the pipe...
