Bird,
My post was influenced by what I have read, here are some excerpts.

My 2910 steering has times when it is hard to turn after about 1 hour of mowing lawn. It appears to be a power steering problem. It started to show up when tractor had 30 hours on it. I now have 40 hours

Just found out they have to replace the hydro on my 2000
B2710, 53 hours total use--I'm just sick. They say the tractor basically gets dismantled and reassembled--don't even want it back

Among other tractor disasters today, the parking brake on my 2910 broke. It was always difficult to engage -- half the time it wouldn't seem to "catch". Now it won't catch at all; the lever just flops up and down, engaging nothing.

This concerns my Brother's 3710. He called me over the other day to look at the bucket on his loader. On the back of the bucket is a large bracket welded to the bucket. The loader arms attach to this bracket. The weld on the left bracket had given way. This caused the metal on the bucket to tear clean through.
The following post refers to three (3) 2710’s

Well,add two more
B2710 trans to the list,friend of mine,David's has 100 hours on it,ours has 185.I was blading our drive this past weekend and out of nowhere I hear what sounds like a bearing going out,right about where the hydro bolts to the back of the block.I just backed the tractor in the shop and shut it down,not wanting to do anymore damage then what has already happened.Davids tractor has been acting up since almost day one.He has been told by a Kubota Rep.,not the dealer, to "just keep on running it,it will be fine" This rep also has his own personal 2710,that he says is also making the same noise,but he was'nt worried about.
Not to mention the countless problems with the new BX’s.
Keep in mind, there may not be more Blue compacts around, but there are more CNH products around, they are the world’s largest manufacturer of agricultural equipment!
