Wow, just binged the thread, sorry about your dad, we lost both our fathers to cancer, prayers out for you and your family.

My father died when I was pretty young and my sister when she was pretty old. Both from cancer. You never get over it but it puts the whole of life and family in better perspective and that makes it better.
.Get rid of that tractor before it gets worse. Then, if you want another tractor, buy a Kubota. Whatever the price difference is, it is. Pay it, forget it and move on. That's the price of experience. Lesser quality for a lesser price has never worked for me and a lesser price without knowing why has always cost me with lesser quality.

Of course there are problems with everything but buying the one with a high customer satisfaction is a better bet for someone new at all this. It's not about brands but a better experience for a newcomer.

MY "better experience for the buyer" (me) was to quit buying compact tractors (including Kubota's) and start buying small lower powered AG tractors!!
They are waaaaay better/stronger built and last "trouble free" a lot longer.
By smaller, I mean 30hp on up.

I absolutely agree on that. The first 90+ HP tractor I stumbled into was a Kubota M8950 in the early 90's. What a beast and zero went wrong with it while other guys had various and sundry problems.
30-40 to 70hp would better serve all but the homeowner guys. Around the house my JD790 TLB (35? HP) gets the most use. And I chip branches in the yard with an M7040@ 70HP. The price wasn't that much more than lesser HP tractor.
Even an older (gasp) 2WD tractor, even a gasser, does what most people need done and is fun to work on.
