B3350 Emissions Warranty Extension

[SDT]

Recently, Kubota has quietly extended the warranty for the reformer and related components for the life time of the machine. There is a brief discussion of this on the Orange Board, linked below. Discussion is well down on page three.

All B3350 Owners

I think they reflashed it’s PCM 2-3 years ago. What are the other recommendations on updates? From what I’ve read I’m still going to have problems in the future even with the updated reformer. I’m stuck with this tractor for another 8000 hours and 20 years unfortunately, that’s our general...

I understand that this has been in effect as of 03/31/21. I also understand that the extension is not limited to original owners. I do not know what Kubota's policy is regarding owners who have already paid for such repairs after their machines warranty had expired.

I checked with two dealers and verified that this is accurate.

Though I did not ask specifically, I expect that this policy applies to all such engines, including those used in F series and high end ZTR mowers.

As well as a need to downsize I traded in my 3350 because of the tier four problems. Evan after the dealer updated and upgraded my tractor I just felt uncomfortable every time I used it. Rarely let it idle and ran it pretty much over 2000 rpm’s when using it whether I needed to or not. Always breathed a sigh of relief when it went into regen….
Love the 23 horse non epa tractor I now have. Life is good!

Just a note that (as of right now anyways) this appears to be a USA only deal. I have talked to a couple of local dealers here in Canada and the emission warranty is 10yrs on parts only for the B3350's up here

Interesting.

Prior to the extension, it was 5 years parts and labor in the US.

Different laws.

I'm not 100% sure but I think ours was the same originally but was then bumped to 10 years at some point. Maybe around the same time as the U.S. warranty changed?

Sounds like a good opportunity to get rid of a problem.
