Another hub death

[Keltic]

Looks like another hub has blown up on the 7010, number 3 in 3yrs.

I've had both front hubs replaced on my XR4046. Both catastrophic failures several months apart. Hopefully no more issues.

This is the same one they replaced last spring, "the new design", starting to wonder.........

What exactly is the problem you're referring to? Who's 'they' who replaced 'it'?
If 'it' has failed 3 times in 3 years, there must be a contributing factor to the failures; defective part/poor engineering design, etc.
Say more....

The dealer has replaced them under warranty, the bearing and seal break and the oil pukes out, the entire front hub unit has been replaced, it certain qualifies as defective, good call.

Sames side, each side? 3 times replaced under warranty - what conditions lead up to the failure, anything that seems to precede it or just random failure at any time?

This is the second time the right hub failed, completely random, the machine is low hrs and well maintained. I use an angle plow in the winter and all I can think is that the hubs can't handle the load. I can't imagine this size tractor is that delicate.
