I may do just that if the trade in value increases a bit. The warranty period for engines involved in the recall is 10 years or 150K miles. I usually trade my vehicles every 6 or 7 years anyway, so there's no rush.

If I were in your position, I'd do a little research on the dealerships in your area. Does the Kubota dealer have a better service department? Is there another JD dealer you could deal with? You might get a better trade if you stayed with JD. When tractor shopping, I looked at comparable...

This is very true. It should also be noted that it's mostly people who have had trouble that post. Not many that I've seen. People that are happy generally don't post.

I bought a TX12 in 2008 and used it for 14 trouble free years before switching to a whole house installation. Got almost what I paid when I resold it. You should be quite happy with your choice.

Or Yugo, it doesn't.

The last vehicle I saw with crank windows was a 1992 Yugo. 😁

Most of my equipment is stored indoors but I do leave attachments outside occasionally. I keep an area weed free for this purpose by using asphalt millings. They're cheap if you can find a local supply. I spread them with the FEL on a hot day and roll them flat with the tractor tires. Weeds do...

I have the DPF system on both my L6060 and MX5800 and have had no trouble at all. 2K hours total on both machines and most of the time, I don't even notice when a regen cycle is happening. Only once did I have to do a parked regen cycle.

The Dealer just completed the recall on the L87 6.2L engine in my 2022 GMC Sierra 1500, and it checked out ok. They replaced the oil fill cap & filter, Changed the oil to a heavier weight and listened to the engine with a fancy type of stethoscope. Pretty much what the recall notice said. Still...

Welcome to the forum! You might get a more specific response if you post the cylinder length & stroke. Pictures would also help. I've had good luck replacing damaged OEM cylinders with standard models such as those sold by tractor supply...

I'd trade the vehicle in a minute but there are 600,000 L87 engines involved with the recall and the trade in value took a big hit. Dealer recommends waiting it out.

Tough luck. It looked like a good deal. :( I usually leave a deposit with the dealer for a possible high price future purchase. Most are willing to hold the item for a period of time. The amount, timeframe and refundability are usually negotiable.

I rescued this 72 Chevy K20 pickup from a junkyard and restored it to running condition. I plowed snow for 10 years and hauled building materials for the new house I built. It had 40K miles on it when I picked it up and I ran it for 130K more before selling it to a friend. It was still in good...

I have both a cabbed L6060 and an MX5800 open station. I'm on 25 acres with 10 of it wooded. Both tractors are great but serve different purposes. I mow and plow with the L6060 to take advantage of the heat and AC in the cab. The MX will go into the woods where the L6060 can't without cab...

I prefer the L2296 round back construction grade bucket. It's heavier and a few $$ more but worth it for what I do. It sheds material better and has a replaceable cutting edge.
