I have owned the Kubota B2710 for about 1 year and half. It has a loader, and 72 mower deck. It had just under 1300 hours when I bought it and has 1400 give or take now. About 2 weeks after I bought it from the dealer all the seals started to leak. So bing had them all replaced, and the dealer cut the cost in half - still just over $1000 - ouch. Then last week while pushing on a 6" thorn tree bang and this awful metal gear grinding noise.
Turns out the U bolt coppler on the 4 wheel drive blew up and the rear pro isn't working - so minimum $1200 for the 4 wheel drive and they haven't worked on the PTO. So now I'm thinking isn't this a lot of problems on a tractor that looks real clean with bright paint and very few dings but yikes.
So the question is should I keep it and think not much else will happen, or did I like my Mom used to say " buy someone else's problems". I'm not very mechanical, and the tractor was purchased to pull downed trees out of the 14 acres of timber I own, to mow a little and to grade the gravel road in our development. Mostly light use and hobby type stuff.
Should I keep it is the question? Any help appreciated.
