Kubota B3350 tractor regeneration problems

Kubota warranty policy may not be the same in Canada as in the US. Verify Kubota Canada's warranty policy on the B3350 before you buy.

I verified the lifetime warranty extension yesterday with a dealer and he spoke to the regional rep as well. I plan to use my intended purchase in Canada only. Should this be enough insurance to make me want to pull the trigger after reading 30 pages of horror stories? I don't mind forking over $1k in labor if needed, just am not up for $4-5k!

If that’s what you were told, fine.

I had a dealer look into the warranty and the only thing they could come up with in Canada was an extension om the emissions warranty and not the lifetime that's in the U.S. I should contact the dealer again but the emission warranty isn't really an issue for me anymore

Words are cheap. Get it in writing from Kubota.

I am new to this forum. I bought a 2014 Kubota B3350 tractor in May, 2014. As of this date, I have under 50 hours on this tractor, and the dealer has had it for a significant amount of time for repair. Over this nine month period the regeneration need has signaled 4 different times, each time failing. Since this tractor requires successful regeneration in order to effectively operate, I now have to consider it a lemon. Each time regeneration failed cautionary lights illuminated requiring that I turn the tractor off and park it. The last and least convenient time was when I was trying to snow blow in the middle of a February blizzard. Each time it ended up going back to the dealer for reprogramming and repair. Since there is no solution in sight for this ongoing problem, I am now talking to the dealership for remediation. Again, I am new to this forum and would appreciate learning if others of you are having similar problems?

Good luck mine has been in the shop more than in the field at 2000 hrs .they told me I had a lifetime warranty on the tractor.but that don't make up for the down time and all the fuel it burns just sitting there.hal

Don't know how much of an upgrade this is; confused

Trading 21pto hp for 19ptp hp?

If you're tractor is in the shop when you need it, you have ZERO pto horsepower.

I can attest to the aggravation of back and forth with a dealer with my Kioti tractor for regeneration issues. This is what happens when the EPA forces manufacturers to find a solution to cleaner emissions. We the owners of these machines are the ones that suffer while they fly around in private jets. I think they have fixed the regen issues so that they work correctly now on all tractors. I sometimes wish I had bought a pre Teir IV machine.

It's not just Kubota tractors with problems. As I said before anything that has a computer is going to cost more in the long run. The computer runs everything and everything has a sensor of some type to tell the computer if it's working right. Every time a sensor goes bad you just about have to take it to a dealer to find the problem and then pay for the service and the parts. Why anyone would want a newer tractor when the old one is working fine is beyond me. Sensors go bad from vibration, heat, and just age, and can go at any time. I hear people say but when the new ones are running right they are so much better than the old ones. I have 3 old ones and they run fine. They have a water temp sensor, and oil pressure sensor, and an alternator sensor. If anyone of those go bad you know what it is, and they very rarely go bad. Then I hear how clean the new ones run. Not if the regen isn't working or the other sensors go bad. The computer monitors the sensors and adjust the engine by what the sensor is telling it. And anyone that replace electrical components on any vehicle know once you hook it up you bought it because they won't take it back. So if you think it's one thing and it's another it's process of elimination which gets expensive. Like I said before I'll stick with the pre-computer models and remember how glad I am every time I see this kind of post.
