Well, I don't mean to go Sissy, but wouldn't you think that after spending many grand on a tractor and attachments, you could expect the paint to stay on it? I have a LA272 loader on my B7500, and every weekend I look at the loader, there is paint literally peeling off in large flakes from the loader. Not the bucket or the mounting saddles that get hit in mounting and removing the loader, but areas that have never seen use. I only have about ten hours on the loader, and frankly, the underside of the mower has perfect paint (no grass buildup either) and the loader looks like $hit. The funny thing is, there is no primer underneath after the paint falls off. Yes, it's meant to use, but when the water gets behind the paint flakes, it's starting to rust. In a year, the tractor will look new, but the loader will look like it came of a 1906 'Bota. It is obviously a poor prep on Kubotas part. Any thoughts or experiences? Let 'er roll.
