Just good old common sense is your best asset. Thread title is misleading. This machine is nothing more than a hydraulic system connected to an engine. If you can analyze and replace parts on your Kubota, you will have no problem with a PT. If you feel you are not qualified to mess with the systems, then a telephone call to the PT, or a good friend, and as a last resort, a good hydraulic shop, a small engine dealer, a tire shop, a good welder. About the only thing left is the electrical sys, and even that is good common sense. If you have or would read this forum, you can fix just about any problem. Dealer support is not practical simply because of the distance. If you live close to Tazewell, Va, , you should have good dealer support. You can ship items back to PT for repair or replacement. There are some guys on the forum that will break down a hyd pump or cylinders and fix them, saving time and money and gaining experience as they work. You can normally ask a question on this forum, and have your machine up and running rather quickly. It is always a good thing to know the basic and theoretical operational of the machine that you are using.
