2011 L3800 jerky three point hitch fixed?

[arsenix2001]

I hate to say it but all of the dealers love to preach that they will fix everything for you, especially the mechanics... That is till the kubota rep comes out and says its normal. I doubt the dealer will be throwing thier own money at it when kubota has had this problem for years and done nothing. My kx121 mini ex had weak tracks which was a known issue, all i got was a rep that said it was normal a 2 week wait and a $500 bill. As far as upgrading, the grand l is smooth as silk but the closest tractor to yours is a 3240 which even with the 524? Lighter duty loader weighs in at 3k$ more. I doubt they are going to eat that. Either way I hope something is actually wrong and they can fix it, or they actually do help you out. Keep us informed.

They aren't going to fix it. (I don't mean to be negative... just to let you know what's realistic.)

Use this as an opportunity to upgrade to the Grand L at a discount.

I love my L3800, personally.

so they got the tractor today to start "fixing" it. what ever that means. Most likely they will drink a cup of coffee and look at it and not do anything.

However i think that the ball is in my court. I have not signed any papers on it yet as the owner was out of town for a week when i bought the tractor, i just gave them the down payment and took the tractor home and i was supposed to sign papers today but i am waiting to see what happens with the 3 point before i sign the dotted line.

Not sure if this helps. but if they dont make it right or upgrade me to my satisfaction ill just make them take it back since i have not signed the contract yet

I would like to nominate this statement for "understatement of the year!!!" I agree with it...

I imagine the dealership will try hard to keep you happy, especially if they can upgrade you.

However, if things get snarky, keep in mind that many jurisdictions have "cooling off" periods for contracts.

Here in Ontario, you can cancel just about any contract within 10 business days.

what makes me mad and what really makes me want to get it fixed or upgraded is that i asked the salesmen when i bought it if they had any issues with this and he said, no they got them fixed that was the older ones.

So i am using that as leverage, i directly asked them about it and they told me no before i took it. They should know better than anyone if it has problems

Bad salesmen seem to suffer from memory problems if their at fault? I hope you keep the option open to cancel the sale? I don't believe we get any grace on a bad sale here on a used product, but I am not a Lawyer..
