I bought a brand new DK 4720 SE HST last year and had nothing but problems within the first 3 operating hours.... cavitation, trumpet housing hydraulic leaks and slew of other issues. What a headache. My original dealer was over 3 hours away with the nearest being about 1/12 hrs away and over...

The slots on the ssqa are just fine. No problems.

I have two pallet fork frames from Titan with 48” forks. One for John Deere and one with skid steer quick attach. No problems as of yet. I’ve also purchased other 3pt implements from them that work well. However, they don’t wrap the pallet fork frames prior to shipping and they will usually...

My luck has always been… if it can happen, it will happen. And it usually does.

Yes, but it makes the noise standing still or moving when turning the wheel left or right. It’s in the hydraulics. It’s better since they changed out the valve, but still there... just not as much.

Yes. I purchased a new JD 2025R TLB from Ag Pro in Georgia. At the time, I lived in California. It arrived in perfect condition, but later (2yrs) learned they shipped the wrong 3pt hitch lift arms. They sent me the lift arms for the 1025R and that’s why my 3pt hitch wouldn’t go down as far...

I purchased a new DK 4720 Kioti in June and that dealer was about 150 miles away. I didnt give it much thought as I had never had real issues with a brand new tractor and I do all my routine maintenance. Boy, was I in for a surprise. The new Kioti turned out to be a lemon within the first 6...

😀 yeah, I keep my toys clean after use. I’ll typically use the leaf blower to blow off the dust until I have time to wash them. It’s very dusty here in Filer, ID… dirt is like fine powder. And I’m surrounded by farms.

Here are two. I should have lifted the loader, but would have had to then vent out the shop… animals.

Sure. I’ll take one tomorrow and post it.

Well, I brought it to the dealer and they replaced the “hand valve“ in the steering column area, but it didn’t do much to stop the noise. According to the service tech, Kubota said the noise was normal. This was the only L4802 that the dealer has sold, so I don’t have another for comparison...

Yes, quiet and smooth riding. I didn’t want to spend more than 14K, so it was between the Kawasaki Mule and the Can Am Defender... for work around the property. The Can Am had larger wheels and better clearance. Otherwise, I would have chosen the mule as it too has a good size bed and is...

Ratchet straps with axel straps. I wrap an axel strap around each axel on the Kubota L4802 or JD 2025R. It’s quick and easy.

Yeah, I’m going to have to bring it in. I went to the dealer this morning and tried an L3302 which didn’t have this issue and sounded as it should… smooth, no noise. This is frustrating as you’d think the dealer would have noticed this issue as they prepped the unit for sale. Anyway, I’ll...

Just bought a new L4802 and starting to use it. Just turned 4 hours on it and during use it makes a loud rumble sound when turning the steering wheel. At first, I thought this could be normal for this machine, but I’m not so sure. Checking opinions before contacting the dealer. Any thoughts...
