I just purchased a B3030 and put it through 5 hours of bushhogging. Did a great job, but I noticed that there was a high frequency vibration in the steering wheel / steering column throughout the working RPM range. There were a number of posts concerning this in May of 05 by posters jlbota and Papa Romano. Both of these guys were working with a dealership to see what the problem was. My dealer says that they have not had any complaints.
After 2 - 5 hours of use, this vibration will put your hands to sleep and is very uncomfortable. Anyone have an info about this problem and how it might be fixed?

When my dealer dropped off my b2630 last year, I mentioned the steering vibration issue that some Kubota owners on this forum had complained about. My dealer said that it is a know problem to some models, and Kubota had a service bulletin and a fix for it. I never had the vibration problem, so I never had to follow up on the issue. Maybe you can have your dealer check for the service bulletin. -Doug

Thanks Dougj7. For further reference, could you please give me the name of the dealer that you bought your B2630 from (just in case my dealer insists there is no problem).
