i purchased a l2002dt[kubota] about 6 months ago , it is my 1st tractor ,so i am still a little wet behind the ears when it comes to tractors. i have not had any problems replacing all filters & fluids . the only problem i did have was it run too cold ,fixed that with a new thermostat . i don't have any pto driven implements yet , but i do have a front end loader and it has been great so far /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif ----joe
