Long wait time for new(ish) tractor parts - the frustration continues

[ruffdog]

Pedal is not my favorite either. Would prefer two independent pedals. I'll post my thoughts once I have a little time on the new machine. Really going to miss the CVT transmission.



rear work lights
side and rear window defrost (defrost wires embedded in glass)
3 rear remotes total
top & tilt kit
3rd function diverter valve for grapple and snow blade cylinder
load rear tires

We all hope none of this causes a oil leak!

Looks like at least another week. All of the option parts arrived but the new rear defrost glass was delivered in about a thousand pieces. Only thing the dealer is waiting on.

I'm currently avoiding going outside during thunderstorms. Lol. On a side note our house was struck by lightning about 2 years ago. Travelled through the ductwork and grounded out through our hvac in the basement. Blew the pictures off the wall at the entry point. We were watching tv about 15 feet from where it hit. Talk about loud.

Any new Kubota tractor yet??

Drove to the dealer this morning to pick it up. Ended up leaving it as the top and tilt kit was not installed. It was in the shop still boxed up. I know this is an easy add on but since none of the hoses were on the cylinders yet, nothing tested, and not knowing if all the parts where there I figured I'd let the dealer finish it up. They said they would get it done Monday morning and deliver to me for the oversite. Should finally be back into a tractor on Monday. My Case was in the shop in the process of disassembly. Looked like a pretty major repair by the amount of components that were removed to access the engine.

jk96 I have been following this thread and hope the new Kubota treats you well once you get it. You mentioned you would prefer two pedals on the HST, on my L3560 I use it like two pedals and actually really like it. Forward the front lever on the right, backwards move foot back a little and to the left. Seems pretty intuitive to me already and I only have a little over 11 hours on it. I had needlessly worried about it a bit.

Tractor has arrived. Some things I like right of the bat and a few dislikes but overall very impressed so far. Spent three hours with the brush cutter today trying to get the mile long drive to the house back in shape. Pretty overgrown and thick in spots. Was mowing with an 8ft twin spindle brush hog and the tractor never dropped rpms or had to slow down in areas where the case would have. I was not expecting a big difference in power going from 44 pto hp to 53 but the difference is very noticeable. I'll post a followup on thoughts once I get some time on it doing some other chores.
