I am sorry if I offended anyone, I am just trying to figure out what to do. I am pretty upset that I drove 150 miles round trip to be told that a gear stripped out in the rear end that damaged the brakes and is causing loud squealing noise is normal even though it never happened for the first...

Do you know if that person would be the regional service manager? I have a manager from the warranty department who is supposed to contact me back within 24 hours and I will see if they know who I need to contact.

If you operate a motor vehicle and have a mechanical failure that leads to an accident, that isn’t insurance fraud it is an accident. I am just advising that if my new tractor with 150 hours on it has a mechanical failure there is a good chance that if I can’t stop it it most likely WILL go over...

I have one last option and it is to talk to the only dealer left in my area, hopefully they will disassemble the tractor to properly diagnose it because I suspect they will be able to visually identify the damage to the gear that is stripping out. I just don’t understand how a dealer can...

I don’t understand what to do, KTAC said it was a warrant issue, warranty said they won’t pay to fix it. According to kubota warranty I need to continue to operate the unsafe tractor until it doesn’t move anymore

I owned a kubota L2501 for 6 year used the brakes a 100‘s of times and never had an issue. Odd ain’t it? Maybe next time I will buy a real tractor so I can use the brake, apparently kubota can’t handle using the brakes without stripping out the rear end.

Yes pushing the brake going down the hill is a user error, I read the owners manual from cover to cover and nowhere did it say that you can’t use the brakes, why do they install brakes if you can not use them? If the pushing the brakes causes a gear in the rear end to strip out then they should...

According to Kubota warranty and the dealer their answer was to continue to operate the unsafe tractor, that is exactly what I was told to do. I paid $60,000 for this piece of junk Covid tractor That has a full 2 year factory warrant. If it goes over a 100 foot rock cliff because of the...

Yes, when you hit the brakes going down a hill it make a terrible popping noise from the rear end, like a gear stripped out, as it makes the popping noise both rear tires jerk and shutter at the same time it pops. When it first happened I was going slowly down a steep hill backwards and hit...

The loud popping noise will happen forward or backwards going down hill. I split the brakes and it still popped no matter if I used right or left brake, made no difference. It is definitely easier to replicate the popping noise going backwards at this point but I suspect that after a couple more...

I drove 150 miles to take it to the kubota dealership to get it repaired under warranty. They have no hills to replicate the loud popping noise. So I drove down to the dealership and was Able to get the rear end to pop twice but they claimed that I was hitting the brakes too hard and even tho I...

Yes it is a HST, I don’t know what is going to happen when it completely breaks. Rear tires free wheel or loss of braking. Neither sounds fun going down a steep mountain. If the rear wheels start free wheeling I am hopeful that the front tires will hold me back, if the brakes go out completely...

I better hold on then, I talked to kubota warranty department and warned them that I have an unsafe tractor with 150 hour and under factor warranty but they don’t care. Kubota wants me to keep backing down a steep hill and continue to strip out the damaged rear end until it either doesn’t move...

I have kubota L4701. 150 hour, a little over a year old. I was backing down a steep hill and I hit the brakes and a loud popping noise and the rear tires shuttered as it popped. like a gear stripped out. Ever since then the brakes make a loud squealing noise every time you hit the brakes. I...

On my way down to the farm to do a full inspection and pick it up. I appreciate all the advice. I will keep everyone updated.

I was wandering the same thing but no light on the dash but even if it was going through the first regin wo it blow white smoke that bad?

i appreciate the tips, I was hoping for some ideals to check out before my 6 hour round trip back to the dealer. I have decided to take it back to the selling dealer to get my $500 refund for the tire ballast and have them remove it per the manual. I am going to take the manuals and proof of...

I read the installation manual and it says nothing about removing the support. it says to unbolt the toolbox and SMV sign brackets from the support and that is it, nothing about removing the support. I reinstalled the support bracket myself, when I did I had to spread the fenders apart because...

From the time I picked up the tractor the throttle response has been an issue. The owners manuals says when starting the tractor ”Set the throttle lever to about 1/2 way.” And when the engine starts it idles about 2-3 seconds and then takes another 4-5 seconds to get to 1/2 throttle and it is...

I talked to the dealer I bought it from and he said it “should be okay“. knocking noise, throttle response issues and white smoke so bad you can’t see your hand in front of your face all sounds okay to them. I am going to call the closest dealer to the farm a 2 hour round trip in a car will...
