hi all,
i am new to the forum. i have read the forum for several years, but just now deciding to join. i have used information i read here to make several purchases, so thank you to all who's post were very helpful. i have owned just about every garden tractor on the market. but not for too long (100hrs or less). i presently have moved to a cub cadet 5234d. i really like the tractor despite the fact that it is at the dealer being service for difficulty engaging high range. the dealer also has kubota, and left me a bx2230 to use while mine was being fixed. they said it would be a few weeks...i'm not fond of the fel on the kubota so it could be a long few weeks.....the tractor was also at the dealer once before for a split fuel tank @ about 20hrs use. when it returned is when the high range issue started. i think it may be just linkage, but they feel it is the high gear. time will tell. once again hello, and thanks.

Glad to see you finally logged in as a member. As you already know.... TBN is a wealth of knowledge.

I hate to hear about the problems with the new Cub. Maybe while it's still newer all the little problems will show themselves and get fixed while it's under warranty. It seems I've read a few posts about the 5234 that had a few initial problems.

Welcome to the forum and good luck.

hambone...what model year is your 5234D?

hard,
i bought the tractor about 5 months ago, and the dealer told me it was a hold-over. I assume it is a 2005. it has folding rops if that helps determine the year. i would check the serial number, buttttttttttt it is still at the dealers shop..
