Well..It showed up..So far I like it. Has plenty of power for what I need. Ran it down the hill that caused me so much grief on the 500. Buried the speedo going down, and went close to 20 on the way back up in high range. Can't complain about that.
Heat and A/C are outstanding. Tested the heat alot more since it's still pretty cool around here.
Cab is comfortable and quiet.
The hydo stuff is really nice, although it is a little too fast, need to be careful with it.
Issues: They could have made the wiring harness for the radio a couple of inches longer. Had to cut the plug off to use my radio. Took an act of God to hook up the wires given that you can't get your hands through the radio slot and have to reach up through the dash. Come one Kubota, we all aren't stupid enough to pay $500 for a $89 radio.
Kubota won't give up a plug that will pig tail into aftermarket radios.
There aren't any safety chain connectors on the receiver..The 500 had them, why not this?
Anyway, after an hour of run time I like it. It's not a woods runner given it's height, but a pasture runner it is.
After some more run time I'll give a better opinion. My daughter had minor surgery on Friday, so fun time is on the back burner for now.
