    Kubota Tractor Extended Warranty, Is It Worth the Cost?

    Thanks, but as I said, my 2015 Honda CRV only has only accumulated 26,475 miles in the 9 years that I've owned it. I expect that my Kubota tractor will also have light use, and with any extended warranty, it would run out due to time rather than the number of hours it has been run. I also...

    Kubota Tractor Extended Warranty, Is It Worth the Cost?

    I bought an extended warranty when I purchased my 2015 Honda CRV, and I never needed to make a claim, so I lost money on that warranty. However, that vehicle also has very light use (I'm retired and I like to stay at home). It only has 26,475 miles on the odometer over the 9 years that I've...

    Kubota Tractor Extended Warranty, Is It Worth the Cost?

    Thanks! That's kind of what I'm thinking. Many years ago I used to listen to consumer guru Clark Howard, and he used to advise against extended warranties. I just looked at his more recent recommendations and he says what you said; "If you can afford the cost of potential car repairs, you should...

    Kubota Tractor Extended Warranty, Is It Worth the Cost?

    I have a Kubota LX3310 and I keep getting emails from Kubota stating that my original warranty will expire on July 13th. They want $1,300.00 to extend the full warranty through 7/13/26 and the powertrain through 7/13/30 up to 3,500 hours with no deductibles. This is the first tractor I've ever...

    LX3310 HSD 50 Hour Maintenance Disaster

    Good Idea! I know that I need better tools, and there isn't a good reason that I haven't bought any... except that I'm not sure what all I should get (except that I know I need a good set of screwdrivers.) The ratchet that I was using, was inherited from my dad, so I'm sure it is at least 50...

    LX3310 HSD 50 Hour Maintenance Disaster

    If they don't appear to be the same part at all... it's probably because the first diagram only shows the top view of the left-hand rear axel case, and they don't show the bottom half where the bolt hole is. The part in question is labeled as #010, and the oil drain bolt that goes into the hole...

    LX3310 HSD 50 Hour Maintenance Disaster

    Well, I'm glad my B.S. detector went off and looked further into it. I sent a text to the service guy at the dealership last night. I attached the diagrams and told him that the drain plug didn't connect the 2 halves, and I asked him to send me something showing where the supposed "tube" was...

    LX3310 HSD 50 Hour Maintenance Disaster

    I paid cash for the tractor and I don't have any insurance on it. I didn't know until today that there was a special insurance you could get for Kubota tractors. When I first got the tractor, I called my insurance (State Farm) about adding it to my policy, but it didn't seem like a very good...

    LX3310 HSD 50 Hour Maintenance Disaster

    I had my shop lights and a Petzl headlamp, and I could see. But everything was painted gray from the factory, including the filters and bolts, so everything looked the same. I just had no idea they would make a transmission or this rear axel case out of aluminum.

    LX3310 HSD 50 Hour Maintenance Disaster

    This is the first tractor I ever owned/operated. I attempted to do the 50 hour maintenance on it, and it pretty much turned into a disaster. In my defense, I have changed the fluids and filters in my regular vehicles for years with virtually no problems. But this tractor isn't set up anything...
