Sure sounds internal to me, Kubota will take care of it, it's man made, someone has to get a bad one at some point..

Sorry my cat stepped on send key but it sounds internal I wouldn't run to long and cause more damage and let the dealer figure it out they might have to give another one or repair but it could take a few days.

If it was fuel related the engine oil wouldn’t be gray.

Engine oil being gray is the biggest 'concern' in the entire thread. Sure the knock could be a straight miss / injector.. but .. we know what is making the oil grey.. and if it is... that engine will be getting rebuilt.
As the owner, having bought a new tractor, 6 hours of use ago..., I don't think I'd want a dealer rebuilt engine in my new tractor... but that's just me.

I agree, with that many hours they should have a new unit ready for the OP IMO IF there is internal damage... I would be on the phone with Kubota so that they can follow this along and to cover himself..

Knocking could be a bad injector, or not. Could also be worse, like a spun bearing, though less likely, not saying it couldn't happen. Kubota will figure out what it is and then deal with it as a warranty issue. This is why you, the OP bought a new tractor, right?
IF Kubota says dealer is to do a rebuild on site in their shop, then it's their call. Warranty doesn't give options to the buyer so much as it does the manufacturer and dealer. They're the ones who offer and write the warranty and then stand behind it.
To the OP, sorry your brand new tractor broke with so little hours on it. You did nothing wrong- don't worry, it will get taken care of.
And stages of grief don't go according to a specific sequence- one may experience some or all of the stages at various times, or not. It's OK to be angry about having a broken tractor. And realize it's a machine, and anything assembled by humans or robots can and at times may/will break. Even Kubotas.:confused3:

I know a guy on the youtube had a 2501, an he traded in in for a 3301 because it was so loud in his mind. He said the 3301 was not as loud.

He is rite...the 2501 is louder than the 3301. I think because of the big ole DPF on the 33. He can have his 3301. I traded my 33 in for a 2501 because of the DPF stuff....I hated it and it made the tractor unbearably hot to operate cutting grass in the summertime heat. They would be nice and warm operating in the North Pole or somewhere like that...ha hah a....not for me. I made a big mistake on that 3301 but I am very happy with my 2501. Can't tell any difference in power for what I do.
