    Brand new L4701 lost oil plug and run dry

    The Hands of Corporate The dealer called me yesterday morning and asked me when he could drop off a loaner tractor, an L4701 HST 4WD with my FEL on the front of it and about 37 hours on the clock. It was delivered to my farm a couple of hours later. Everybody was VERY friendly. I was able to...

    Brand new L4701 lost oil plug and run dry

    I don't plan to name the dealer unless the issue becomes worse or unresolved. I'm not here to smear anybody's name, just to source advice from knowledgeable people. At this point in time the dealer stated he still plans to replace the engine. I am glad that I will be able to tell a new engine...

    Brand new L4701 lost oil plug and run dry

    Dealer owner just called (for the first time) and said he didn't say anything about a rock, and that his suggestion of vandalism came from the fact that I asked them not to block the gravel road the farm is on so the neighbor could get past, and he intoned from that that maybe I had bad...

    Insurance Fraud Much?!? WOW! So, new developments, and my self description right now is disappointed, frustrated, shocked, and angry. KTAC has denied the claim. Apparently the dealership told KTAC that I hit a rock and that must have knocked the oil plug loose. This is a LIE. The pastures...

    Brand new L4701 lost oil plug and run dry

    Recovery has not gone well, I suppose you shouldn't bring a smaller tractor without a front and loader to try and haul a larger tractor up a steep hill. My tractor remains on the hill and they packed up their's to go back to the shop for a larger one. I suppose doing it on a super rainy day in...

    Brand new L4701 lost oil plug and run dry

    Here's a hell of a first post. New L4701 with 12.5 hours. I was bush hogging some pastures and backing into some hard to reach places, so looking backwards and not viewing the dashboard when the engine starts knocking and bogs down, I immediately look forward, see the low pressure light...
