Anyone else have problems with XR3135H or XR3135HC?

My dad has had his XR3135HC for about four years now. In that time,

- When new, the AC wiring harness was miswired, causing the AC to malfunction
- Regen quit working twice - first time they did something to the computer and checked some connections, second time it needed a wiring harness replaced
- Leaked oil at the mainseal twice. First time they replaced the seal and replaced the bolts, second time they're going to do the same thing (it's in the shop now). We have no confidence that this fix will last.

We're just curious if these are common problems. With this latest oil leak, the dealer says that the bell housing bolts are back-ordered, leading me to believe that it's more common that the dealer & LS want to admit. He's worried that it might be an expensive fix if it recurs outside of warrant.

I seem to remember wiring issues in early XR series tractors. As far as the computer it would depend on the year as LS updates the ECM as problems arise which isn't alarming to me. Now the main seal leak I haven't seen that one before. It may be possible that it wasn't installed correctly or the seal got nicked when it was installed. That seal you just don't see as a problem on tbn or youtube cause folks will post problems more than praise.

I知 at 136 hours on 2019 xr3135c no strange issues as noted other than o-ring seal bad on rear axle leaking oil replaced at 50 hours. It has been reliable. But again of 136 hours 90% has been with backhoe work. We have used backhoe enough to start to wear fingers on the bucket. Can tell you hard clay is challenging on the backhoe but it will go through it over time. Regen has always happened 4 times now without issues. Changed oil twice always use 0w-40 for northern cold climates to protect turbo. So far no major issues tractor is robust. For to mention we used it to dig 150 foot driveway 16 foot wide. Peeled off 4-6 top soil it would have been nice to have been hydrostatic for this work but I clutched my way through it.

About 400 hours on my XR3135HC. No major issues. When I first got it the pedal movement cut a wire which prevented starting, easy fix and moved wire bundle. Also A/C stopped being cold, dealer came and refilled, no issues since. And a minor coolant leak due to a loose clamp. All issues were within first month, no issues since.
