Has Summit stopped posting in this forum? They were pretty active the week I purchased mine, but they haven't replied to anything in a while.

:eek:
I sure hope they have not given up here. I've loosely been in the market for a new tractor for some time. The Summit has checked all the boxes for me and part of that was the interaction on here. I am remaining hopeful. I still want one when I get home.

So far, mine has served me well. The size and weight of the tractor is absolutely perfect for what we needed and it performs harder work better than my old Kubota BX. One gripe I do have is that the Kubota was a lot more refined. Like when you unscrew something, both sides are painted. The Summit looks to have been painted once assembled to save on costs. The hydraulics on the Summit are a lot more "twitchy" and "jerky". That said, it still does better at what I need it to, and it was less expensive.

I am scared about long term service and warranty work because of the level of interaction (or lack thereof) Summit has on this "official" forum. Fortunately, Solis seems to be actively trying to grow in the USA, so that bodes well for us with parts, even if they are all red.

I read about users doing their own repairs, what is the actual warranty service like? Where does the unit go when I'm not doing the wrenching?

Yep, crosses my mind too. We have a store about 8 miles from home that sells them. I don't think they do any service work there. I would not expect it to need much at all but there is always that possibility that a person would have to take it for a longer drive.

Like a wheel bearing fails and I'm not about to replace it... Does Runnings have a shop?
