I may have my tractor sold and will be looking at the L48 vs the new L45 that will replace the L39 next year. Has anyone here had, or heard of, any problems with the HST Plus transmission or HST Plus transmission related systems?

So far so good on my 3540, 150 hours (commercial).

I have the L4330HSTC and after over 200 hours no problems. I love the transmission!!!
I have noticed that in zero degree weather the Kubota sythetic trans fluid flows more readily than the conventional trans fluid so warm up time is reduced.

We've yet to see any problems on any of the tractors we have out. If it happens, it looks to be a very easy system to work on.

I've had my L4740 for a year now and have about 120 hours on it. Back & neck problems this year has curtailed the hours some. I've never had a problem with it and it works well. I absolutely love it.

Oh, that's not quite true. I hit a stump in the pasture with the bush hog and stalled it out once. When I immediately tried to restart it, I got an error message. Let it sit for a couple of minutes, turned the key and off she went. It's been running just fine ever since.
