I broke my three point hitch.!!!

I assume you got the correct bolts and everything went back together the way it should?

Yes I got them and got it back together and all seemed well until I hooked onto the brush hog. I could lift it but barely and now the loader is losing power so fluid pressure is bleeding off somewhere. Back to a dealer.:-(

You are not increasing my confidence that I ordered the right tractor!! Maybe I should have got the Kubota after all since I ordered the exact same one you got and I have read of other issues with them as well, of course I read of all the problems after I place my order! Is it still under warranty?

 

[vtsnowedin]

Not that I know of and sense I opened it up myself I'm sure it is all on me now. Don't know if you would have better luck with orange as I've never owned one.

Is it possible to share what was found here to be the problem(s) and what the resolution(s) was?

Thanks

From the OP

Well as things developed at least once I hooked onto a big log that was frozen in and when I got to the end of the chain it stopped me short. This is in a foot of old snow pulling up hill with ice chains on. What could go wrong?

I'd venture to say that anytime "coming to the end of the chain" is a wreckage of some equipment. Most always a bad outcome, and lucky not for someone not to get hurt.
Resolution... avoid coming to the end of a chain.

If and when I get it finally fixed I'll be sure to pass on the info. I don't have the funds to turn it over to the mechanics at the dealer just now.

Well when you want to pull something you don't accomplish much before you come to the end of the chain. I do hear what your saying but there was little to indicate that damage was likely.

Sorry, I was just trying to find out, if you got it fixed and what was issue you commented on in thread #32. NOT trying to re-live the experience as you made it clear already how it occurred.

No need for apologies, I'm a big boy and can fess up to my own mistakes. It might be a few months before I get it right but I will keep the interested informed.
