Reliability has been great. Gotta watch out for tree limbs snagging stuff on your tractor besides your hat and glasses. The tachometer is still not quite right. I did manage to repair the flat tires. The valve stem gets pushed back into the wheel on the front tires and it goes flat. Keep a supply of spare valve stems handy if you use the Front Loader a lot.
The tiller is a 59" one so it really tests the PTO. Our garden is 1/4 acre and this is the third year we have used it. Our soil is not good so it gets a lot of work amending in 7-8 tons of compost each season. The Kuhn tiller ($1800) is a really nice piece of machinery. Well made and a perfect match for the Kubota. The drive shaft on it is clutch driven instead of using a shear pin. That is a sign of quality and allows me to use a full width tiller without the worries.
We are weekend warriors since we live in Houston and our place is 130 miles north of there. I think that I have about 120 hours on the tractor (Anna Belle). My mistress has to have a name. BTW. We also own a Kubota RTV 900 (named Junior - wife's boyfriend). What a fantastic piece of machinery.
