And that ain't the half of it!!!

Wrong pin in backhoe bucket with no grease fitting. (I fixed that) Thumb kit is made wrong. (I made a temporary fix) Backhoe cylinder leaks down. (Between Kubota & the dealer, nothing is happening) Grease fittings were completely loose and painted shut. (I fixed that) Backhoe stick and boom...

Just think, I read this thread to pick up some information about another brand. I purchased an in stock Kubota three months ago and still have nothing due to quality issues. Now I need to make a decision about the useless tractor and dealer and move on. The squabbles on here are of no use to...

The laws regarding our vehicles change all the time, they should also pass laws to keep all people in check regarding property damage.

It might be worse if you bought a tractor, loader and backhoe that was in stock 85 days ago and still have nothing. Between assembly delay, wrong tire delay, faulty parts delay and Kubota factory support delay I had no use of the tractor but they have every dime of the money. Today a lady from...

I enjoy sitting on the porch of my friends house.

Look again at the Home Depot photos and you will see young ladies that know the ropes. Keep the beer and send me that kind of help! I have one of those saws and it works reasonably well if I ever get the thing over the limb, that bow idea is worth a try.

Turn the engine crankshaft till a valve completely opens, then turn the crankshaft one full turn, then set that valve. Repeat for each valve.

Yes, I contacted him, here is the pathetic response: The plates are laser cut, so they don't need to be deburred, but after robotic welding they are tumble blasted and transported in bulk (1000 at a time) to and from the platers, then ultimately to us, this is where some dings and sharp edges...

I said it before, Kubota needs to close the backhoe plant and move it to where there are people that deserve a job. My tractor is still tied up with the dealer and Kubota scratching their heads with no clue on a proper fix.

Since Ken does not deburr his parts and filing off the burrs yourself will destroy the plating, I would not buy them. I was very disappointed with my recent purchase and his excuses for supplying poor quality. I deburred the things and then painted them. His website doesn't show accurate...

If you are going to mortgage the money or account for lost opportunity for gains, it is much, much worse than that.

I know the weight of the trailer and the tractor weight giving me the total. I then use my scale and move the load to get 12.5% of the total. A cheaper way is to use a bathroom scale and some materials to create your own. homemade Quarries, feed mills, landfills and truck stops have scales if...

In PA it has been too hot to leave the house most days this summer. Come and take your heat back, we don't want it.

I live right across the river and now have Amish all around me. Yes, the soil is good but so much of it is wasted on development which is pushing the iron wheels and carbide picked horse shoes out to destroy roads at my house. The Amish use whatever chemicals necessary to make a buck.

In Pennsylvania a trailer will not pass inspection if there is no brakes on one axle. 10% should be considered the absolute minimum for tongue weight, I would like at least 12%. If you ever experienced a sway issue from too little tongue weight, you will never do it again. A WDH can be bought...

If we didn't have such gutless people in charge, those folks could be compelled to use rubber on the paved roads, much like we can't have studded tires in the summer.

Of course, simply lower the truck hitch.

7800 is a lot for a 1500 but it will do it. You are looking at the power, but of more concern is the suspension, brakes and handling.

In my case, the dealership contacted me twice via email and once by phone. I contacted them five times via email (three times to send photos of the issue that they requested), I sure hope that I didn't overburden them with such extreme interruptions over the past nearly three months. These...
