I am currently negotiating on the purchase of a Kubota L3130HST. I have always repaired all of my own equipment including a lot of automatic transmissions. Nothing could be as complicated as the 4L80E transmission in my GMC diesel pickup. I have not had any problems in 150K miles and I even do that NO-NO of towing in 4th gear. Might have to buy a few more special tools but I have always made it a policy to but the tools when needed. Except for in warranty items, I have never had a repairman in my house or my vehicles in a shop. I have no fear of a hydro transmission, if any thing from what I have seen, it is much simpler than current auto transmissions.
