Was your tractor a TYM or other Korean made tractor?

Lots of new tractors have Yanmar engines and other parts/stuff from them. So your hand throttle was malfunctioning? At early stage / hours of your new tractor?

Yes, it's been a while since I had the problem, I had under 100 hours on it . . . it just needed the bolts tightened.

I got a message the tractor is fixed. I was driving all day for 12 hours so haven’t spoken to them yet. Will update tomorrow.

Gas, this reminds me of your previous experience years ago with another "off brand" tractor.
Wasn't there quite a few (4-5?) used kubotas in between the 2 major headaches?
I really hope this is fixed now and doesn't turn out like that "red" tractor fiasco.

Yes. I have a bad habit of trying to find deals on used equipment. Then use them to get a bunch of work done on the property, then sell them. See if I can make a small profit or break even. The Kubota’s are the ones with the least amount of problems.Gas, this reminds me of your previous experience years ago with another "off brand" tractor.

Good to hear your tractor is fixed. Only time will tell though.
Easy to second guess yourself. Sounds like your dealer is on the ball.

It's only been a week since the first post. If it is fixed, that's pretty awesome. Can't wait to hear what the issue was.
