[QUOTE="Msm2137, post: 107572, member: 17651"] I have a Takeuchi TL12 R2 with 30 hours on it that one of my employees turned on its side while clearing some land with a brush deck. When he turned it over he immediately turned off the unit. I called the dealer and they sent a tow company out to turn it back over and bring it in to the shop to clean injectors and change fluids. There first question to me was “ Is this and insurance claim” I told them that I didn’t want to turn it into the insurance company. To just check it out. At that time they told me the engine was probably bad. (It ran on its side for less than 30 seconds) I told them to check it out anyway. The next call i had was them telling me that the engine was bad. They said that the turbo was bad and that the engine had low compression in three of the cylinders. I don’t buy this and I am looking for some opinions. They are charging my insurance company $47k to replace the engine. I don’t see how the engine can be bad when it didn’t run for hardly any time and the engine has low pressure safety’s to kill the machine and every other safety device it is equipped with. Can someone give me feed back on their opinion. This is my 3rd Takeuchi and they have all been incredible. I feel that the dealer is ripping me and my insurance company off. [/QUOTE]
