[QUOTE="830Scott, post: 99578, member: 5466"] So I have noticed we still don't have a Kubota forum/thread. I will just update on this link. It is March 2017 and I purchased a new Kubota SSV75, standard flow hydraulics, 14 pin, 2-speed, enclosed cab, hand and foot controls, and hydraulic Q/A. Picked the machine up and brought it home. Stopped for lunch before making it home and realized there was diesel all over the back of the trailer. Checked the cap on the fuel tank and realized it looked cross-threaded. Try as I may, I couldn't get the cap on straight. Upon further notice, it appeared to have the same quality as a $15 plastic gas can!...the cap and the tank are very low quality...pretty upset about that. Unloaded it and turned on the a/c...it didn't work. Fan blew but it wasn't cold. 2 days later they sent out a tech, good guy and he checked the system, realized there was no freon so he charged the system...then checked for a leak and found one at the connection between the line and the condenser. He checked the cap on the fuel tank and found the same issues I did. He had brought a new cap and tried that too....same problem, the TANK is junk. He ordered a new tank and o-rings for the a/c. The bottom, right-side, of the Q/A is bent, to the inside of the locking pin. I told the tech about it and he said that is pretty normal. Well, I can tell you if I bought a new truck and something made out of 3/8 plate was bent, it would get handled. After being with New Holland for about 16 years, we went with Kubota. We have a small Kubota B7100 tractor that we bought new in 1994...pretty much have had NO problems with it. Was really looking forward to that same level of quality. [/QUOTE]
