Something is not right here. As I understand your statement, what you are describing is not possible. What am I missing?

Very difficult to speak to Kubota regional service representatives as neither Kubota nor (especially) dealers allow such. Accordingly, your only recourse is to contact Kubota Customer Satisfaction. Contact information is in your warranty book. I've BTDT regarding a B3350 that I recently sold...

Yes. The so-called "lifetime emissions warranty" covers a failed reformer and anything else damaged by a failed reformer. It does not cover other emissions issues, nor does it cover operator error. Kubota regional service representatives will attempt to discover operator error before honoring...

Agreed. Be careful what you say. Neither the 5-year OEM emissions warranty nor the so-called "lifetime emissions warranty" covers operator error. Be advised that there are dealers who try to double-dip warranty claims.

Your 53 PTO HP L6060 should handle a 12' BW in many conditions so long as you do not expect to set speed records. That said, 2" is getting up there unless the brush is rather soft. Sounds like you plan to mow only once each year. If so, August, or even winter is the time when it will cut most...

"I don't know why this equipment was ever required to have it in the first place." Because unelected federal bureaucrats never sleep. They are constantly trying to justify their lucrative positions while making the lives of most Americans miserable in the process.

Despite what the manual says, I changed both filters and oil when I did the 50 hour service on my L6060. You will lose some oil when you remove the filters but not most of it. You will lose a bit less if you extend all cylinders before removing the filters.

Slowing down in heavy grass should work.

It has about 675 hours now and will be for sale within a month or so as I am relocating across the country. Forgot to mention that I added tubes to the front tires 15-20 years ago when they would no longer reliably hold air tubeless.

I bought a B1750HST with PS, Bi-Speed Turn, and 60" MMM (with very rarely used powered grass catcher) new in 1993. No FEL. The 1750 is essentially the same machine as the 1550 aside from a bit more displacement and HP. In the 30+ years that I have owned it, it has needed absolutely nothing...

Bingo.

Certainly in the US. Cannot speak about other countries.

Same on my M9960. Beeps but does not shut down. Farm tractors are sold mostly to farmers. CUTs/SCUTS are marketed to yuppies. Tort attorneys lurk.

One of the very first things that I do upon taking delivery of a new tractor is to defeat the OP switch.

Follow the implement limitations in your Kubota Operator's Manual and you will be OK. 1,600 Lbs. is well above the Kubota recommendations for flail mowers, offset or otherwise.
