Since delivery PROBLEMS:
posted before about lack of power when turning on slight incline, puffs and HUFFS black smoke then dies. Low gear with crawl speed. Not HST or operator problem, PTO lever in off position, no pump strain issue. The tractor just seems to be poorly designed, engine vs Frame weight. Communicated with Western Stockton KUBOTA , CALIFORNIA REP and he literally told me 3-4 months to get to me and that I was stupid. WHAT THE HECK is going wrong with Kubota? ALSO, Boom lock pin fell out 5 minutes after I got it. BRAND NEW 3130, 50 hours, no white smoke, Not dyno tuned as I suspect DESIGN issues, BEWARE of this "L" GRAND series before you buy. OH! it works fine if it's on level ground with backhoe and bucket.
