Loader Missing lettering on loader side

[tank333969]

I removed the loader for the first time on MX 5100DT and the lettering only has a MX5. Looks like hydraulic lines have been rubbing hood. Its missing some paint. Talked to service manager at my dealer and he said they do not put the lettering on that side because of the lines rubbing. Is this true? This tractor is less than a year old with 50 hours on it.

It was there originally, I tied the lines on my L3400 toward the loader side to keep them from rubbing the hood. On mine it was the braided cover that was rubbing.

Just hope that the missing lettering is the biggest problem you'll ever encounter with your tractor.

I hope it's the biggest lol. But when you purchase a machine like this and for the price you expect it to be right. If this is an issue with kubotas then they should come up with a better design. I can live with it, but what about the guy who buys green because of this ? Just saying

The "guy that buys green because of this" has a whole other issue that has nothing to do with hydraulic hoses rubbing the side of his tractor... In fact, most dealers would rather he did buy someone else's tractor.

I thought about a similar reply. Glad you made the point Chilly807.

I totally agree. Just wondering if others have the same issue. I guess there no reason to tie them away from hood now since the paint is already gone lol. Thanks for the replies

You might want to touch up the bare spot, and tie them back. Pretty thin metal, it's liable to rust fairly quickly if you don't.
