As suggested here, I'm renting a KX-121-3 before I buy it. But if it goes well, I plan to purchase it.
The unit has 496 hours on it and looks very well maintained. I'm wondering what the major maintenance points are on the unit. For example, is it due major lube/oil/filters at 500 or 600 hours? If so, I plan to ask the dealer to perform the maintenance as part of the sale.
I intend to ask for the maintenance history (it's a Kubota dealer) but I'd like to know what's expected and upcoming rather than relying on what the salesman tells me. Right now, he doesn't know the history since it was at one of their other locations.
I can't find any maintenance info on the Kubota website but 500 hours seems like it might be time for PM.
BTW, the asking price is $25,900 with 12/24/36" buckets and a thumb. That seems like a pretty decent price from what I've seen.
Thanks.
