    Brand new Kubota SVL65-2...can't keep the engine running

    Yup. I've got a steep learning curve ahead of me to try to avoid this in the future. I gotta think there is much more bark waiting to repeat this fiasco in the future. The piece of bark that came out of the tube was like the size of again of rice. There must be a bunch more waiting. I'm not...

    Brand new Kubota SVL65-2...can't keep the engine running

    I'm not sure. It made a four hour trip from the dealer to us with the cap on, then drove a mile up a trail to our place, then I did a couple hours of work before it fell off. I put it back on after I saw it on my return trip in front of me, and I thought I put it back on but it fell off again...

    Brand new Kubota SVL65-2...can't keep the engine running

    And as I mentioned, this was a brand new machine and I had not even touched the fuel filler cap ever, and this happened within the first three hours of having the machine. So I hadn't yet gotten to the point of thinking that I should have to modify my brand new machine in case the fuel filler...

    Brand new Kubota SVL65-2...can't keep the engine running

    Just got the machine working about thirty minutes ago. We simply pulled out the tube that goes to the fuel filter, it had some bark gunk in its tiny diameter, blew on the fuel filler hole to make it squirt out the tube, put the tube back and it hums. Ran and completed its first DPF cycle and...

    Brand new Kubota SVL65-2...can't keep the engine running

    As it turns out they did support me as far as they were agreed. I thought the warranty required them to support me remotely, but it didn't.

    Brand new Kubota SVL65-2...can't keep the engine running

    So the contract we signed, and State laws, means Kubota could come after us for the full value of the machine and just leave it with us. They wouldn't have to repossess it, they could have a court require us to pay the balance of the loan off. So that options won't work and bad on us for not...

    Brand new Kubota SVL65-2...can't keep the engine running

    We'll know more when we get the legal review. If we decide to have a third party fix the machine we have options in our town. Plenty of heavy equipment here and a couple places that rent them out. We're just trying to keep from voiding the warranty but then again the warranty isn't proving to...

    Brand new Kubota SVL65-2...can't keep the engine running

    We didn't discuss servicing outside their area. I did know they sent service calls out, but I didn't discuss ours with them specifically. I just assumed which obviously was a poor choice. They're the closest dealer (4.5 hour drive away from us) and the next closest dealer owned by the same...

    No sir. Thanks for the offer though.

    Brand new Kubota SVL65-2...can't keep the engine running

    We are waiting on the legal review of the warranty to see what our options are. KSSS is right, we didn't heed the warnings from the poor reviews of the dealer. We gambled on the reputation we had heard of Kubota machines being reliable, and it was a 60K mistake on our part. One we get our...

    Brand new Kubota SVL65-2...can't keep the engine running

    We haven't owned ours for six months yet and we're getting a legal review of our documents. I'll let you know what the lawyer says. But we told the dealer we'd pay their $125 an hour and they just simply refused to service us after making us the offer to service us for $125 that we accepted.

    Brand new Kubota SVL65-2...can't keep the engine running

    Kubota just called and left a message while we were on the phone. They said they contacted the dealer to tell the dealer we would accept the $125 an hour to travel to us, but that the dealer decided it doesn't have the manpower to help us but will help us over the phone to try to get it running...

    Brand new Kubota SVL65-2...can't keep the engine running

    So now we're having a lawyer do a review of our warranty before we proceed further with our 28 hour machine.

    Brand new Kubota SVL65-2...can't keep the engine running

    So we just called that number and tried to talk to Mr. Jacobsmeyer, but we ended up getting a general person from that number and they would not put us through to Mr. Jacobsmeyer. So they pulled up our case number and apparently they had talked to the dealer already as they said they would do...

    Thank you, we'll give Mr. Jacobsmeyer a call. Much appreciated!
