I too have a B3030 but not clear on what you're asking and what your problem is. :confused3:

Are you saying your PTO "BLEW APART" while using a 48" tiller and will cost $5,500 to fix?
If it is...that $UCKS!!!

I would think a 48" tiller would not be a problem on the 3030. I haven't used one but have read on this forum where other 3030 users run 5' tillers without a problem. I run a 6' RFM without any issues.

He's looking for others with stories about blowing up their PTOs.

looking at kubota website illustrated part list. *youch*. rear wheels removed, rear final drives removed, seat removed, darn near taking everything off rear end just to get to the PTO shaft and parts internally. and then cost of all the gaskets alone, plus labor to pull it all apart and put it back together.

if you have a cab. that most likely additional cost in labor uninstall and reinstalling it. just to get down to what is needed.

looking at tractordata
TractorData.com Kubota B3:( tractor engine information
made between 2006 to 2012, sounds like unit is out of warranty as well?

This is "after-the-fact"...but,
1. Did you have the slip-clutch properly adjusted prior to use with MFG suggested settings?
2. When the "squealing" happened, was the tiller jammed with a rock or something?
