Just to inquire if I am the only one to have the Kubota RTV 900 HST fail on them. At 173hrs. Backed out of the shop and then it refused to move...in any range, in any direction. The engine ran fine, no fluid loss anywhere, all cables connected and moved properly. <br>
Had to use the winch to get it on the float to the dealer. Long process.<br>
4 days later the dealer found the HST is finished due to wear on rear plates and seals. Again only 173 hrs. The wife drives it around the property for gardening chores. Never had it 'off road', it hardly gets dirty. <br>
Kubota has agreed to pay for parts and so far partial labor even though it is 6 mos out of warranty. That battle isn't over yet though. I am not a happy camper. This is supposed to be a premium product, (read $$$) and I am discouraged at the quality. <br>
Oh well, maybe it will be good forever after it is fixed. Sure miss it with spring here !!<br>

I have 30 hours on my L3430 FST (standard 8x8)shuttle shift and I love this manual tranny. I also had a problem figuring for the 723 or 513 they tried to sell me. I definitely would get the 723 now that I have one. It is awesome and you can see the spec difference. It is worth the upgrade and it should enhance re-sale if ever you do.
Your gonna be impressed with your package. Good luck.

Speaking of Kubota and Kioti, Kubota just filed a huge lawsuit in Federal Court in CA, Charging Daedong with all types of copyright and patent infringments as well as intetional deceptive & misleading advertising as to their so called non-existent "relationship" with Kubota.

Thanks for all of the good information. I appreciate it.

Dave, I might be contacting you in the next week if a tractor I am looking at doesn't go through.

Thanks again.

Looking at purchasing a 1997 JD 855 2WD with a FEL and 800 hours. Has aux setup for a backhoe on it and AG tires, extended ROPS(for the backhoe), etc. The engine is toast. The rental yard that is selling it said the tractor sucked in a bunch of dirt/dust and it overheated. Everything else is in good working order, so I've been told.

What would you pay for it?
Considering it is from a rental yard, I know those are probably 800 Hard/abusive hours that are on it.

Thanks in advance for your advice and comments,
Jimbo
