    So the kubota dealership took the tractor apart and and they are replacing all 4 of the brake discs and plates under warranty, I went down and looked at them and they appear to be in perfect condition, the tech agreed with me. They think I am concerned with the brakes squeaking, when I am...

    Update, ‘After 5 weeks the 2nd kubota dealership just called me and said that they are about to take the tractor apart to finally diagnose the problem but I had to agree to pay them $400 in the case that the issue is the brakes lining worn down. If the brakes lining is worn down then I would...

    I checked out the L47 and it has a 3 point kit available, does anyone know if you have to remove the 3 point arms off the L47 when the backhoe is installed, difficult to take the backhoe off the L47 or is it as easy as the L4701?

    I tried to buy another kubota mx6000, la1065 loader, backhoe sub frame kit and 3rd function kit. Found 3 dealers who initially said they have everything but the subframe kit in stock and all was supposed to return my call to let me know how long to get the subframe kit but only messicks returned...

    If you are driving down the road in a pickup truck and you have a mechanical failure (loss of brakes) That in itself isn’t an accident, the accident happens when you hit something because you can’t stop the vehicle. Did you watch the video I posted? My tractor has a major manufacturer defect of...

    Kubota L4701 150 hours rear end stripped gear popping noise. NOW WITH VIDEO

    When it was making a single popping noise, I split the brakes and no matter if I used the left or right brake it still popped, I figured that eliminated the brakes unless both failed at the same exact time.

    That was a great ideal, I wish I would have tried that before dropping it off at the second dealer.

    No I haven’t, I suggested to the last dealer to drain and check for metal shaving but they refused. the tractor only has 150 hours on it. I added a little bit of UDT2 after changing the filter for the 50 hour service.

    This forum would not let me upload the video so here is a link to the YouTube video. Now instead of making one loud popping noise it makes multiple loud popping sound, just like a stripped out gear. I was afraid to take it down the big hill so I took it down the little hill next to my driveway.

    Update, I talked to a reputable kubota dealer about 3 hours away and told them exactly what happened and they said it is not normal for a one year old tractor with 150 hours on it to have a loud squealing noise when utilizing the brakes. She said the same thing I said if they take it apart to...

    I spoke to another kubota dealership And he said that it wasn’t normal for the brakes to make a loud squealing noise. He said he has seen HST tractors with 1,000’s of hours on it and never seen any brake issue. He told me that what the other kubota dealership told me to do isn’t safe and...
