I am looking to purchase a B2710 from a local dealer.
I have visited 2 dealers, and was about to strike a purchase with the friendlier, more accomodating dealer.
However, upon inspection of the 2 machines, I found that the friendly dealer is trying to sell me a 2710 that has a serial number in the 14,000 area. This appears to be not a current machine, as it only has the single hydraulic filter.
The other dealer has the newer machine with the 2 hydraulic filters, and in the 51000 serial number range.
I did watch the dealer put it together, so I assume it was in his warehouse stock for a while.
1. Is the single filter a problem waiting to happen, is there a retrofit that Kubota will install at my request?
2 Are there other improvements to the more current machines over the "older" serial number machines?
3. What are the current serial number ranges?
Thanks to all you guys here for the great information.
I certainly wouldn't have been aware of the two filter upgrade.
The dealer didn't mention it, or wasn't aware of it.
But I suppose to him its a new machine that hadn't been sold yet.
Thanks,
Jim
