Hopefully they will step up and take care of you.

Back in 2004 I posted about an L4610 with broken 3 point. The pictures have since been deleted but because they are somewhat related to this thread I've re-posted a few of them below. I believe the factory helped with the cost despite the tractor being beyond the warranty. If anything it might help Locoweed feel better that his breakage wasn't as bad. The take-away from the L4610 incident was not to draw log butts too high or tight against a 3-pt winch before skidding them out.

I got the tractor back 8-22. The bill came today. Looks like Kubota covered the parts & I had to pay $1,488.44 for labor, shop supplies & disposal fee. Overall, I feel that I am very fortunate. I was sort expecting a bill for much more. Thank you Kubota & my dealer!!

I don't get it, you were lifting about 1/2 it's lift capacity?

Looks pretty much like the same diff as my B3200. Last fall I was using a 6ft box blade, pushing backwards with it and I pretzeled the lower arms. I was able to straighten them with a hydraulic press and beefed them up. I consider myself lucky now and won't likely put the box blade back on the B3200.
