- A very tired Case 580 (looking to downsize)
I don't get it. After looking at every brand within 200 miles of me trying several diffrent tractors I decided I liked the Kubota 3130 HST the best (smoothness of the hydro). I lemented the fact that I wish they worked a little harder in the design of the tractor to give me a better view of the loader like the NH TC35-45 models (also prefer the two petal hydro )but came to the conclusion is was the best compromise.
OK time to order right? /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif Not so fast! /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif I ask the dealer if I can get the smaller R4's from the L 35 to lower the center of gravity of the tractor to which he responds I don't see a problem with that seeing how the L35 is based on a3410, but call Kubota tech support an get the ok from them. So I /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif call Kubota expecting on ok. Again not so fast! They tell me if I change the tire size it will void the tractors warranty, to which I respond if I got AG or Turf tires the tire height changes. As long as the front to rear ratios are the same it should not make a diffrence what size tire is on the tractor. Then Im told each tire combo is tested on the tractor even if you change from a 4ply to a 6ply tire it would void the warranty(something they have refused warranty on before because it caused front axle seal failure). WHAAAAAT! /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif I don't get it can someone explain this to me? I guess this isn't Burger King you dont get it your way! /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif
