Kubota L2501 gear drives have soft clutches?

[Sid Post]

Clutch part number, T1060-20173 is used in 8 models. Did the dealer mention these other tractors as having issues?


The part fits the 8 models listed below:
L2501D
L2501F
L2800DT / HST (Dual Traction 4wd / Hydrostatic Transmission)
L2800F (2wd)
L3200DT (Dual Traction 4wd)
L3200F (2wd)
L3400DT / HST (Dual Traction 4wd / Hydrostatic Transmission)
L3700SU (Hydrostatic Transmission, 4wd / Special utility)

Reference: Kubota: ASSY DISK, CLUTC, Part # T16-2173

Thanks!

At this point I tend to agree with everyone saying the dealer in question was trying to up-sell me to a Hydrostat tractor. He might have been influenced by some owners having issues with 'hired hands' burning up clutches though.
