</font><font color="blue" class="small">( So I finally got some feedback from my dealer today after he confered w/ Kubota on the B3030 vibration- they think it may be the calibration of the injector unit that is effecting the smoothness of the engine, a.k.a. vibration. They will be picking up the tractor tomorrow for futher diagnositcs. We shall see........

Any news on this yet? My dealer service guy claims he called everyone he could but no one knew anything about a vibration or even a fix of any sort. All he told me was that he would just have to wait to see if Kubota had any sort of a bulletin about the issue. But as of now he couldn't find a thing.

Dealer picked up the B3030 this morning- I'll give him a jingle tomorrow and see what he found. It was a little weird opening up the garage after work today and NOT seeing my new toy. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif
Let me know what they find out........My service guy at least agrees that it seems to vibrate more than some but is kinda stuck as what to do about it after calling Kubota and they say there is no known problem at this time.
I really don't feel its a serious problem as it runs ok and performs ok....It just seems to kinda buzz through the wheel and the HST pedal which is annoying at times. /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

JBota,
How many hours do you have on it? I'm just under 5hrs. I could be wrong but does yours seem to be "smoother" as time goes on? I noticed I can take hills in high now where as before I had to drop into medium gear. This being my first real tractor, I don't know if this is just the normal break in. It's hard to tell if things are getting better or I'm just having too much fun. /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
As far as the rattle goes: my steering tilt lever in the floor still vibrates a little at low idle. /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif I'm hoping it just goes away but I'll bring it up with my dealer non the less.

Following up with the dealer today, the regional Kubota Sales Rep stopped in yesterday and witnessed the vibration on my B3030 first hand while in the shop. He commented they had a similar issue with the B2910 when it first came out and had put a fix in place. He didn't get into any details other than it was NOT the engine that was the potential source of vibration. The Kubota Rep worked in service for ten years prior and knows the right "goto" people to get an answer from. He did say there was no reason not to continue to use the tractor until they come up with a response for a fix and would return the tractor today. Good thing as I do have work to do! /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif
At the end of the conversation, the dealer shared a problem that came up while my tractor was in the shop; some how they ended up welding hooks on my FEL bucket that should have been for another customer! He appologized and said the hooks would be for free. That's my kind of problem! /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Free hooks! You can't beat that....
I have been using mine the way it is and I think I am getting used to it. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif. I think the good thing about Kubota is that when there is a problem they seem to get it fixed.
Let me know if they get back to you with a fix. I will send you a PM with my email address.
P.S. It says your not excepting private messages so I will just post it here. dzlpwrd@adelphia.net
