I’m not sure what he was saying? That you have to take the axle off to remove the prop shaft? From my knowledge that isn’t true?! We have replaced them on M5 series tractors that have had incorrect or badly mid matched front/rear tyres and it was able to be done. Out of interest I will do some research on this , tomorrow, but from my experience of dealing with Kubota, we have found the reliability very good, they’re reputation in the engine market especially is second to none, granted in smaller hp’ than many people are perhaps talking about!
you also have to put into perspective the market presence that Kubota have in North America! Up to the ho of the tractor above I believe that they are around the 30% mark, if not slightly over! Unfortunately working on modern machines compared to splitting a 10 series Ford, is hard work, as my mate said the other day, doing a head gasket on a Jd 6400 took less time than trying to get the tappers done on a new valtra! Progress?!!!
