I bought this mower new. I have a little over 500 hours on it and have done regular maintenance on this.
My rear end went out at 500 hours which cost me $2600 to repair. I got it back and put another 20 hours on it and now my hydrostat unit is going bad which was quoted at $1000 to repair. The mechanic told me this was common at 500 hours for this series.
I will be unloading this for a new John Deere next week. I thought Kubotas were built to last but have found they have cheapened up their brand to improve profits. Never again will I own a Kubota mower.
