Kubota GR2000 & GR2100 Rear Axle Failures

[arto98607]

Hello locknut. thanks for asking - Status is:

1) Limping along with the 3WD/2-FrontWD currently, and that is ugly on slopes.
2) Bought the shop manual with the intent of repairing, but then I spoke with a second dealer who advised me to NOT waste my $ on repairing the first generation.
3) Second dealer said not only could the failure re-occur, but there was a second major flaw in the design. He believes the splines are sheared off on he left axle.
4) No response from the CEO Kubota USA or his designee
5) I plan a certified/return receipt mailing to CEO again
6) Choices are spend $4,000 + labor for the re-design, or send it down the road and buy a John Deere

Its a very disappointing response from what I had believed to be a reputable and quality provider

Not very good choices.

I would probably go for the re-designed axle if the mower tractor is otherwise to type you want to keep using.

$4000 - 5000 does not probably buy much of a used Diesel mower today, and whatever you may find for that on the used market may/will have other unknown issues?

Hopefully you get some positive reply from Kubota.........
