Funny thing is mine is also a Kubota, engine wise.

I hope this works out. I don't think I would ever trust a dealer to rebuild an engine this day and age. Even 40 years ago, everybody always knew to take an engine to specific machine shops where they had the reputation for doing things right and nowhere else. Today's mechanics are just parts...

I bought a 3.5 ton Chinese "Jiahe" brand. So far, takes whatever I have thrown at it. Are there some Chinese junk? I'm sure. Are there name brand junk? I'm sure. To OP, this machine I have cost $33,400 by the time it was landed in my yard with all the tariffs, shipping, EPA, etc. Kubota D1703...

I posted a while back about my 573 doing it's first regen at just under 50 hrs and my suspicion that it may be timer related. Today I hit 99.3 hrs and sure enough my Regen light came on and about 3 mins later it went into Regen mode. It took a little over 20 mins to complete it's Regen which is...

Tends to do it if I also come in and forget to shift down to a lower gear when hitting the pile.

I will have to pay more attention on mine. I do have the beeping sound, but that seems to be a warning that I am coming in too slow and about to stall. I don't move hay, just dirt and stone.

Except Makita blows Milwaukee out of the water with a lineup of Pro Duty cordless that is up to 325 tools. You can even get Demo saws that perform as good as electric. Makita rules over "The World Of Concrete Show" that is in Vegas every year.

My 573 has only regen once. That was in the 50 hr range. I have to admit I let it do more idling in those first 50 hrs. After that regen I make a point not to let it idle while I am doing other stuff. I am approaching 100hrs and am wondering if this is going to regen when I hit that. Then I...

So, I guess you like yanking. Whatever floats your boat.

Good Lord. What kind of utility company is that? What do they do, string Romex on tree branches from house to house?

Just like all crash tests. Hard to have a video camera and record real life crashes to see it as it happens. Look at the insurance institutes crashes. They are all "staged". Manufacturers themselves "stage" crashes on their own vehicles.

"green" has nothing to do with me using battery. Battery = QUIET. My ears ring 24/7, no need to make them worse. No smelling exhaust fumes, and basically zero maintenance. If I am limbing, or cutting small saplings and need to move around a lot, I don't have to keep yanking that dang rope...

This is what I was originally looking for when I was shopping in 2022. Prices were through the roof and no bargaining at all. So I went shopping for another brand and bought the LS. If this had been available for this price in 2022 i would have bought it. I paid $50,000 for the LS.

NJ already there. https://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/cars/news-blog/new-jersey-approves-additional-ev-road-use-taxes-44506099#:~:text=The%20fee%20starts%20at%20%24250,purchase%20a%20new%20electric%20model.

Somebody should grab this. Not much more than I paid for my LS MT573 https://www.tractorhouse.com/listing/for-sale/193090223/2023-case-ih-farmall-75a-40-hp-to-99-hp-tractors?utm_source=Iterable&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=tractorhouse_pricechange
