That's what the owner of the dealership told me when he personally delivered my (new) tractor. After he noticed the 120 tonne of pit run that was setting in my yard. My reply was; I know, a dozer would level this quicker. I also bought a 10 cubic foot wagon and a 48" Berco blade at the time of purchase. Almost two years had passed since I bought this amazing machine. With less than a month left on warranty I noticed the tranny was slipping a little after it was worked hard. After calling the dealer for info about rebuilding the tranny, he informed me that model (K45) same as the K46 wasn't serviceable. So he sent his mechanic to my place with a new one. No Charge. Free labor. After which I went and bought a lottery ticket. If you are mechanically inclined, you can buy parts and service it yourself. The Kawasaki engine has more torque than any engine in it's class. It handles the 48" Berco two stage northeast snow blower I have with power to spare. Use the best synthetic fluids and grease you can buy throughout the machine and it will last for many years. The only reason reason I gave it four stars for dealer experience was because the parts manager is never wrong. He couldn't find a part in his stockroom even if he tripped over it.
