- B3350 Junk Kubota
Attention Kubota B3350 owners. I own a 2018 with 86hrs on it. Regen has been a problem from day one. I kept calling the dealer and asking why it kept going into Regen. They told me just let it go through it, which I always did. 2 weeks ago my wife and I were hauling 15 yards of dirt into our back yard. It indicated it wanted to do a Regen so I parked it on the driveway and attempted to get it to go into Regen for 45 mins. It would not start the Regen. Then a light started to flash on the dash and it started beeping. I shut it off and waited to call the dealer until Monday morning as it was a Sat. When the dealer picked it up and took it to the shop they told me I had a level 5 alarm on it, and the Regen filter needed to be replaced. They said it's $4000 and $600 to put it in because it's out of warranty. The Kubota technician from Iowa ran a system check on it and said they would cover the filter but we had to pay the $600 to install it. Kubota has had Regen problems with the B3350 since 2014. When we purchased this tractor from the dealer they didn't tell us anything about all the issues it has. Even though many dealers would not even show this tractor to customers because they knew it had so many issues our dealer was just interested in making the sale and not caring that we were buying a lemon. Kubota's remedy for this is offering a lifetime warranty on the Regen system, but the truth is it's only as long as your 2 year warranty. I called Kubota customer service and they told I should feel lucky they covered the cost of the part. I said doesn't Kubota offer a lifetime warranty on the Regen system they stated yes. I said you just told me that my warranty was up and I should consider myself lucky the covered the cost of the filter even though I only have 86hrs on the tractor. They told me the Regen problem was fixed in 2021, I said how does that help me and every other poor soul who bought the B3350 tractors. He had no answer.
