    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    I called before digging and they reported that there were no underground utilities in the area where I was digging. So I removed the stumps right alongside the pole that had both telephone and cable lines going down in the ground. Luckily no lines were hit but I wouldn't put much faith in...

    They did delivery it but it was no good, nothing about attitude, it is about very bad quality and incompetence. And thank you for your lesson in life.

    12% surcharge just announced on Kubota products and up to 20% on implements ...

    I simply bought a new in stock Kubota 3 months and one week ago, I still have squat, but today they said the correct parts are there and they will not voluntary refund the money. So much for the buying new plan perks.

    Gas engine float level ?

    Your float needle is probably fouled with the crud that ethanol produces. If you let fuel to age in cans or the fuel tanks, expect problems. If tanks or cans are not kept shut, that too will be a problem, keep the lids on except while actually pouring. No, snake oil treatments will not do a...

    Frustration with waiting on new Kubota order

    Wrong pin holding bucket on, it was too short and NO provision for greasing. Thumb could not be adjusted to the highest position, so is stuck out like a sore thumb preventing proper digging. Boom and dipper stick collided where they join. Grease fittings were completely loose and painted...

    Frustration with waiting on new Kubota order

    I'm at 92 days waiting for a new in stock tractor, loader & backhoe to be corrected. The backhoe is a disaster, the dealer and the factory are clueless on how to fix it. I have said before on this forum that the plant that produces the backhoes needs to be closed and the production moved to a...

    2 & 1/2 years, battery won’t hold a charge.

    One thing you don't know is the history of the battery before it came into your possession. I always completely charge any battery the minute I get it home. Currently my defective tractor is being held hostage by the dealer while they do nothing, and of course it is outdoors and the battery...

    Traded my L2501 HST for a Kioti DK4210SE

    All I know at this point is that at least two thumb kits are wrong. Others may be using their backhoes and don't know that the thumb should be able to move up the highest position. I have watched Youtube videos of the same model and those were correct.

    Traded my L2501 HST for a Kioti DK4210SE

    Messick's is my closest dealer and I believe that most think they are one of the best. When I inquired there they could not give me any idea when a tractor would be available. So I went to another that had everything in stock and the price was less than an estimate from Messick's. The...

    Traded my L2501 HST for a Kioti DK4210SE

    Loose wires and o-rings are one thing, but a design that cannot work with no clue on how they are going to fix it is quite another. Both the dealer and Kubota are clueless on this matter and any input from me is completely dismissed. Two months ago I asked for one simple measurement so I could...

    Cautioning your Family about Operations

    Since he was a very good renter, a rare and almost extinct species, I wanted to preserve him as long as possible.

    Cautioning your Family about Operations

    I was blowing a rather deep snow at my rental when the renter walked to the mailbox. He got the mail and proceeded to stand there in front of me and read it while I sat there with the equipment running at WOT and he was totally oblivious to the world. And he is allowed to vote.

    Traded my L2501 HST for a Kioti DK4210SE

    Wrong pin in backhoe bucket with no grease fitting. ( Kubota & dealer issue, dealer should have had enough sense to not install it since it was too short as well) Thumb kit is made wrong. This one and another from a sealed box are wrong. (Kubota issue) Backhoe cylinder leaks down. (Kubota...
