You are certainly in a bind. If you could get it under a trailer where it is parked you could rent a pickup and trailer from Uhaul. They are half tons but certainly capable of hauling a small machine like that. Get it to a dealer, get it fixed and decide what to do after that. Kubota in my view is sketchy on their ability to resolve customer issues, personally I doubt they care one bit about how shady your dealer is. Even if they do take some sort of action, it will likely be months away. You will likely have to decide on whether to keep your end of the agreement on making the payment much sooner than that. A lot of Kubota dealers are dealers who are about convenience, they carry Kubota products because it works with their rental business or lawn products division or whatever, but they are not about doing the heavy lifting that goes with selling equipment like this. The issues with the Dash 2 machines makes this evident. Some Kubota dealers are certainly professionals and we hear about them from time to time on this site. Many however are not professionals. OP you don't seem to interested in telling us what State your in, which is fine but someone here might be able to help, if you were in their area. Turning the machine back while trying to build a house, doesn't sound like a great decision, but perhaps that is what your down to. Maybe finding an independent mechanic to look at it is an option. Cat uses Kubota motors, BC used to use them, certainly there are mechanics that know that motor. Get it fixed and hopefully get reimbursed from Kubota itself if it turns out to be defective. It would be hard not to trade that machine in for something else. No way would I give Kubota one cent after this fiasco. Good luck.
