Just turned over 100 hours a week ago and not a problem except a brain fart which had me driving over apple trees with the front wheels to smach them down as i bush hogged them.
I now have a plug in the front left tire.
Duh
I guess I am used to 12 ply instead of 6.

I had 3 hours on my first 3430HST when it was broadsided by a big cat (Mercury w kid driving).
Now 300 hours on it's replacement: front steering knuckle seal my only problem, fixed under warranty.
I just paid off the 3430 and now the itch to trade up is strong but some what offset by the darn economy
I would like a bit more power. I don't like having to back off the HST pedal when I am in high gear and heading up even the slightest hill. Not the end of the world and something you can adjust to but.....
More is better, right?

2004 3830.... 455 hours. Great tractor. Replaced the seals in the the right left had front drive knuckle, replaced the wire hook that holds the top link, and installed new pedal covers (I wore them out!) Not too bad for a tractor that sees real use week after week.
I hope the new Kubota's are providing good service to their users. I worry that Kubota's quality is slipping...
