Very disappointed with my LX 2610

Great Christmas present and fantastic news that Kubota stepped up to the plate.

I wonder if some of these problems are because certain tractors can sit on a lot for years before being sold as that year when we buy it. My L2501 being a DT instead of a HST sat for sure. the ball swivels on the 3 pt were rusted and stuck. Any place there was a scratch along with seat hardware is rusty. So my theory is depending on the dealer location and sales of popular models you might be getting a 3 year in the weather unit you bring home to it's forever home in a building. None of the safety switches appear to be really robust and weather proof. Another thing here is rodent and bee/wasp/yellow jacket nest in anything left outside.

Don't get me wrong, I love my tractor but I worked in mechanical maintenance in industry and worked with all kinds of switches and controls. Good design has them enclosed and protected from fluids and getting torn off. I am not a parts swap mechanic but I think I will get a spare of the neutral and pto switch to keep around for that moment when mine is damaged or torn off. That way I can finish my planned day.

Hello everyone I want to thank you all for responding. I feel it would be appropriate if I were to explain to you the final outcome regarding my earlier posting. The Kubota corporation has proven that they were as concerned about the issues with my tractor as I was. They have also proven that they take their corporate responsibility very seriously. I wrote a letter to management at Kubota Canada. It took only three days for them to make the right decision and informed me that they would replace the defective tractor. I received my new tractor yesterday. I put the snowblower on today just in time for this weather bomb of a winter storm that is about to hit Ontario. It is my opinion that we have all brought the right product from the right corporation.

with gratitude to Kubota Canada.
