GR2110 Deck Drift

[bergenfelter]

I just took delivery on a new GR2110. One thing I have noticed is that if I raise the deck to the full up position, even with the engine left running, the deck drifts to the full down position after 5-10 minutes. Is this normal? Something that can be adjusted? Any help appreciated. Thanks.

That's a bit quick . Over-night the deck may drop down to the height
selector stop. My BX takes a day to drop.

Thanks - Already have an email into the dealer. Do you use a snow thrower with yours? I also purchased the GR2707 two stage...

While it is not the same machine, when I first took delivery of the G2160 , it also dropped fairly quickly. Only thing I could figure out is that it may of had air in the system as with time it slowed down. The cylinder is only single acting with pressure coming from the charge pump for the deck lift with gravity down and there was not a easy way to bleed the cylinder out.

Only thing I can say is if it keeps on doing it have the dealer look at it but the G2160 still does bleed down overnight.

No blower-can't justify the cost with no more snow than we usually get in this area.I hear it's a really nice blower,though.

The dealer showed up today to pick it up and see what is up - definitely not normal. I put about 5 hours on it over the weekend thinking there was perhaps air in the system - no dice. We'll see what they find.

Update - Called dealer today for an update, said their service manager was out, my sales rep was out, was supposed to get an update today from my sales rep and they would "try" and get it back to me by the weekend.

The person at the dealer did some checking came back and said "well our service manager looked at it, made sure the linkage was adjusted OK and called Kubota to see what to do. They are waiting on Kubota to call back, but that will not be until next week. We are really sorry that you are having problems with your new tractor"

Took three days to do this? This is my first time purchase of a "high end" garden tractor. Last time I bought a tractor was a Craftsman 20.5HP in 1998 for $2K and ran flawlessly right out of the box for 12 years. So I have an empty garage stall where my shiny new Kubota used to sit and my wallet is many thousands lighter.

Give me some help here guys, more bugs to work out on these units? I am not a real happy new Kubota owner right now.

Suggest you research (search) the GR2110 on this site. After - You might want to give it back to Kubota and look at one of their BX models. I did and have been extremely happy ever since.

How do I "give" it back to Kubota - do they have some sort of 30 day satisfaction guarantee?

Thanks for the input.
