Kubota B3350 tractor regeneration problems

sandyc · Jan 22, 2016

Glad that storm is going to the south as my tractor is still at the dealer awaiting a HVAC guy to come and evacuate the refrigerant.....guess on my unit that the a/c has to be rerouted/replaced or something as well. Dealer service said it should be back by next week. Still have my fingers crossed that I won't have to shovel my 400' drive by hand!

Looks like a lot of us in the northeast are dodging this one. I know that I wouldn't want to shovel a 400' driveway.

my B3350 is currently in for a new computer, upgrades and having the fel hydraulic pressure increased. they ordered a new engine speed sensor as they were doing the pre-delivery. my tractor only has 14.5 hrs on it so far..
also i'm having the rear work lights installed.

I think you will enjoy those rear work lights. I installed them on my B3030 and view them as money in the bank. I just wish the guys at the factory didn't do such a good job in hiding the harness for them up in the head liner.

Real Kubota work lights are expensive but one of the options worth buying. They look right, fit right, mount in the right place and are durable. I think they've been unchanged for at least 20 or 25 years because some I saw recently looked the same as some I owned in 1995.

For my tractor, I won't recommend any other type of rear work light. The mounting bracket, harness connectors, and switch all fit like a glove. The switch even has its own on-indicator light. My only recommendation for Kubota would be to get with the 21st century and replace the halogens with LEDS.

Agreed.....the use of LEDs will consume less juice and they last longer.

Got the tractor back from the dealer. I do have pics but I am going to have to figure out how to upload them again. Anyway, extra large alternator installed, new left side hood panel, magnetic winter front, decal on air intake stating that it should be removed in snowy conditions or if temp is -5f. One of the a/c lines had to be rerouted to make room for new larger alternator. I do see evidence of wrench marks on the dpf filter base (not sure why) and I am assuming that the cpu was either upgraded or replaced. In any event started right up and sounds quite normal. There is a new decal on the entry side of the consol stating that the winter front should not be used above 32f. The auto button on mine still needs to be pushed at start up, ie does not default to auto on. Onward and upward! I am hopeful that all the fixes will reduce/eliminate any dpf problems.

Kubota knows how to step up to the plate when it matters. Too often we hear of dealers or manufacturers that will try to wiggle out of an issue but Kubota does what needs to be done with whatever it takes. Look at all the good will that generates and all the negative feelings something slippery sends.

I'm not sure of the exact numbers but I once read that a happy person told something like five people about it. Trouble was, an unhappy person told 17 people of their ordeal.

still waiting, the first ecu was for a different piece of equipment. part number mix up. hopefully the new computer will arrive this week and they can get all of the epa junk working.
tree planters arrived, i now have three acres of baby trees. they had to plant around the logs, i haven't been able to move. due to no tractor in the yard issues..
they did leave me a route to move the logs once my tractor is back home..
