Only issue so far is the fuel gauge quit working.
Brakes are good.

Loudon, thanks for the reply, and I hope you can get the 3 pt hitch problem fixed. Mine started gradually slipping down a few months ago, but it didn't come back up. The friction control on the levers just needed to be tightened up and that fixed it. I thought it was strange that I had to adjust that after a little over 2 years of use. I ran my 5210 for 13 years and never once had to adjust it.
It sounds like I should have been harder on my dealer about fixing my brakes. Nobody ever offered to buy mine back or extend the warranty. I sent that video to my dealer's service manager and he sent it to a higher up at JD; their response was that it was "in specs". I wonder if I could sell that video to Kubota?![]()
Mine won't even stop the tractor when I pull it off the trailer. Last weekend, I was unloading it off my dove tail gooseneck trailer and the tractor just flew off the trailer all the while I had my foot mashed on the brakes. It went so fast, that the front wheels fell off the trailer and cut one of my tires in the process. It is very frustrating.
Have you considered putting your tractors trans in lowest reverse with engine idling and removing your foot from clutch pedal? Trans & engine will do the braking required instead of non-operating tractor brakes.
