I have a universal set of forks that will either mount on the loader or the 3 point hitch, solved that problem.

Depends on your intended use. I have a Kubota, a Polaris, and a 6x4 JD Gator that is hands down my "go to" machine. This gator was initially designed for golf course use so it has an extremely light footprint. Due to its large flotation tires it will barely leave a track where the others will leave ruts and a muddy mess spring and fall. It also has a larger cargo bed that is much lower, making it easier to load (mine all has an automatic dump). For an old guy, around the farm there is no better option.

Repairs to both were performed at the same independent shop. Cost drivers on the Subaru were timing belt replacements and brake issues. Also had to do head gasket, which lead to machining head and "while you are right there" valves & guides at about the 150K mark. On average, parts cost were comparable item for item, but the MB needed fewer of them. Needless to say that the ride in the MB was awesome, the electronics and related technologies were light years ahead. In spite of being "loaded" with options, the Sube was only one step up from an econobox; marginally quieter than than my '58 VW Beetle.

It's in the clutch. If in fact they did check the clutch itself and all was ok, it could be as simple as a linkage issue or adjustment, but I'd bet the farm it's clutch related.

BigBoy Bob has the most foolproof idea, but I might suggest that if one cap is on top and close to the front of the tractor that it is the radiator.

You should be able to add ports by tapping into a "supply" port on the "touch-matic" housing and the reservoir. This may require teeing into lines (not always a good idea). You would need to use open center valves. I looked through my shop manual and couldn't find any details on pump capacity and pressure, but I doubt either are very high.

I put remote ports on a 1947 "A" some 40 years ago and, although it worked for some applications, it lacked both the pressure and capacity to be really effective; when hooked to the haybine I had the haybine header "float" springs tightened down to where it only took 100-150 pounds of lift to get it off the ground.
