Lx3310 at dealer again 5th time

[GeoHorn]

Under warranty….. I’d check on my state’s “lemon law” …and see if the dealer won’t trade me for a different machine.

I think I would be close to telling the dealer, either they can replace or J.D. can replace it.

I don't know of any states that have lemon laws for all consumer-purchased products other than automobiles. Getting under the skin of the dealer by suggesting that the tractor can be replaced by a John Deere is like pouring gasoline on a fire. It isn't going to be well received, and will just exasperate the situation. Knowing that complaining to Kubota will just get you sent back to the dealership, then the next thing I would do is to suggest to the dealer that they have a factory representative look at the tractor. I would like to see a picture of a crushed fuel line because if it was truly crushed you would have known that.

I was told the reformer is being replaced and should be ready at the end of the week.
I can’t find the part by doing a search so I don’t think it’s like changing your filter or fluids and maybe you’ll just do your reformer since it’s maintenance day.

it sounds like it has something to do with the amazing regen process.
Anybody that has any incite I’d love to know more about it.

Yeah. I guess if you’ve already used other excuses you have to say something. How many times can you say “ we can’t reproduce the problem”

Yes a tractor upgrade will be in my future but I’m not independently wealthy. I have to strategize the next purchase and still afford necessities. I did get a kubota trade in number that seemed reasonable based on my life’s experience (trying not lose my shirt on purchases and being upside down ) since I’m at 0 percent currently

 

[scottparrish]

What type of transmission do you have? What range/gear are you in when you are having the problem?

I thought I posted an update but I don’t see it now.
I called the dealer today and I was told they ordered and are replacing the reformer

 

[Fordtech86]

Woodman nailed it I think, it’s starving for fuel from the video. Best guess is something is floating around in the tank

Dealer claims they have already gone through the entire fuel system

It’s not getting it from that video.

 

[Fordtech86]

Do you run any additives in the fuel?

don’t know about the kubota, but I do know a super duty will run good enough until 18 of them little wafers from the caps of fuel additive bottles get sucked up into the pick up in the tank

 

[DustyRusty]

trade the tractor back to the dealer, and I will bet they find the problem before they resell it.

I find that intriguing, as the LX3310 does not have a reformer, that was on the LX3350.
The LX3310 is a common rail engine and it has a DPF.

It's also a good way to get the dealer to throw the tractor and owner off of his lot and tell him to go pound sand up his, er, to go kick rocks.

I can only tell you what I was told. I tried googling the part but didn’t find anything so I have no idea how complex or major this fix is supposed to be.

I will try to get documentation about the repair if I ever get it back and post a picture of it

 

[whitetiger]

They are probably replacing the DPF muffler.

They are probably replacing the DPF muffler.

An obstructed exhaust (DPF) would be consistent with the symptoms.

It would be interesting if you could put it on a dyno and load the engine. That way you could separate the engine and hyds from the hydro and brakes.

 

[scottparrish]

Does anyone have a loss of power issue. After tractor warms up 10-15 minutes tractor loses power even if pto isnt in use. No error code. Runs perfectly fine cold full power and acceleration up my hilly property even running an implement. Then if implement or not if trying to move , work, or even accelerate rpms drop down and will stall unless I let off pedal and then rpms will recover but any attempt to move causes loss of rpm back to stall levels unless I let off the throttle pedal.

Okay. I just got a phone call that makes waaaay more sense then whoever I talked to the other day that said reformer. That guy must just push a broom around the shop

Now the caller states it’s an injector problem and some “campaign” blah blah blah. They are replacing injectors and a whole bunch of shit that sounded like every engine component
And supposedly it will be ready tomorrow or Monday and they don’t have the parts yet . I couldn’t make up a funnier story.
