#32 I bent my tractor! My experience with Kubota KTAC insurance. Is KTAC insurance worth it? B2601
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 17 ต.ค. 2020
- In June, I was using my Kubota B2601 and Land Pride SGC0660 Grapple to move a tree trunk that I had just cut down. I knew it was too heavy for this compact tractor to move. But with a little persuasion and 4x4 low gear, I got it to move. Unfortunately, in doing so, I racked and bent my front end loader frame. What followed was an unimaginable wait from the Kubota Corporation for the needed parts. I accept that these are different times and that many warehouses and parts distributors are closed or understaffed during the COVID19 pandemic. At any rate, here's my story about my experience with KTAC insurance. Thanks for watching!

My Massey insurance covers everything including theft. 🤔🤔🤔
Just did the same thing on my lx2610 yesterday. I’ll file a claim with ktac in the morning. Thank you for the info!
Oh no! Good luck!
This is a real MAN, he works hard for what he has and when things go wrong he stands Tall and admits
the true facts to all parties involved and did not try to twist the facts so he does not look bad. Congratulations for being the stand up Man. It is a pleasure to watch your video. God Bless You and your family. Chattanooga TN
That’s very kind of you. We can learn from our mistakes, and we can share them so others might learn too. Thanks for watching. I have family in Centerville and have camped in the Great Smokey Mountains. You live in a beautiful state. -Ed
Watching you run from that tree is the funniest thing I’ve ever seen in my life. Looked like an old lady running away from a mouse
Oh I’ve done funnier. Believe me. Thanks for watching. 👍
That didn't seem like enough trailer. Lol. Good luck. Good show.
How long is that trailer? 10ft?
Yes. And not long enough. I’d recommend a 14’-16’ dual axel. Thanks for watching.
I have had a similar experience with KTAC. Glad I purchased with my BX23S and renewed it once I paid it off. I have had 2 claims and they have been handled well. Highly recommend.
Very interesting content (as usual).
You have such an easy channel to watch.
Minor ego, major humility.
Refreshing.
Not drown in ads.
I'd love to be a neighbor!
That’s very kind. Thanks so much.
Great perspective, Rand! I totally agree.
I too bent my LA535 loader with my grapple on the larger LX2610. It was on backorder so it took a couple months to replace but they did right by me.
BTW pick up and delivery is included with the insurance.
I'm sure here in Ontario the policy would leave you out in the cold. $350 is dirt cheap for a new loader. UR lucky.
I also had a bent FEL on my 1962 Case 430... Bought it as is. You can conclude it was not covered! I cut the FEL where the frame stretched used binders to bring it back to the right geometry, then weld it back. I can't imagine what abuse the previous owner did with a dirt bucket to bend the FEL... One thing for sure, a grapple and a large log can do it easily! Thanks Ed for sharing!
Thank you. I hope all is well with you. -Ed
Thanks for this video. This is a vital part of tractor ownership. thank you very much .
Great advice for my new b2401 with the la435 loader. Thanks
Thank you for sharing, your honesty is refreshing, I have learned from your experience. Enjoy your tractor.
Thank you for you kind comments and for watching. -Ed
Good to know. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for your vid. This serves as a great reminder to us that this equipment does have limitations. I have a full day of work to do tomorrow on my BX25D tomorrow digging trenches for footings for the new garage. I will be thinking about your situation and take it slow and easy. I have a lot of work to do and cant lose my tractor for four days let alone months. Always remember to enjoy the fun of running these machines, it beats running a shovel or rake.
Thanks for this video! I'm picking up a small BX1880 for my 1-acre property. I would love a backhoe tractor but it's too much machine for my small property. The financing states that I need insurance, so I will go with KTAC insurance.
Good move. Thanks for watching!
Glad you gotter fixed. I know we all do things we probably shouldn't with our tractors and sometimes, as you said we expect to much out of them. I have a Coworker who has a L 3800 kubota and he lives about 3/4 of a mile off a county private road and he was burning a brush pile. The fire got away from him and while he was fighting it his tractor ran off over the hill and busted the rear axle housing and the implement he had on the 3 point hitch busted the PTO housing ruining his tractor. Thankfully he bought insurance and Kubota fixed it for him. He said at the time this happend he only owed about three months till the machine was paid off. I guess the policy was for the duration of the loan. I don't know if he had any out of pocket but for the amount of damage he was very lucky to get it fixed. Those are real nice tractors.
Sorry you bent your tractor. Thanks for sharing that experience. I’ll take extra care with my B2601.
Thank you for sharing!
Glad to hear the insurance is worth the money. Like yourself, I didn't realize my insurance wasn't replacement on the attachments.
Thanks for sharing. I’m now going to extend my KTAC for my B2650.
That's a good piece of information there about the attachments - didn't know that.
Hi Ed! Ouch! Sorry you went through that 4-month ordeal, but glad you had the insurance to cover the lion’s share of the cost. Good info to know! Thanks for sharing!
"The frame is bent" .... the muffler went, the radio it's OK. Oh what fun it is to ride in this rusty Chevrolet!
I'm sorry, what were you talking about? Da Yoopers have corrupted me for life.
Glad you finally got the loader replaced. Covid has definitely put a strain on the supply chain.
You have a green state! alot of trees!!!!😍⛰
Thank you for the upload. Great advice and humble truthful explanation.
Thanks very much. Lessons learned! -Ed
Amazed the insurance helped you in this instance. Most would have filed operator abuse and you would have got nothing.
That's why we call it stupid insurance. It pays.
Nobody was hurt, everything else can be replaced. S#!t happens. Thanks for the video
Thanks for the support and for watching!
Thanks for the info on KTAC insurance. Since it came with my tractor and implements at financing it is good to know it covers my own stupid mistakes of the future.
Watch you is like hanging out with a good friend.
That’s very kind. Thank you.
You are a solid, straight shooter, love your channel.
Thank you for your kind comments. Very much appreciated.
Good info. Thanks.
Lucky to get loader fixed, local dealers have tractors but loaders all on back order. Expected delivery not till 2022.
That is strange, I’ve got a B2401 DT, I bent my Q/A plate. KTAC charged me the $250. I was never told anything different for it being part of an attachment. Great video!
Thank you!
If that it happened with a bucket I would say that the loader should’ve tipped the tractor over before it broke the loader but when you have the grapple on there and it’s grabbing from both sides it’s transferring the energy in the form of a twisting motion. I’m glad you had coverage that will fix it still. :)
Good video, Ed. Don’t beat yourself up about it. Stuff happens!
By the way, the KTAC coverage is available without Kubota financing. I needed to go direct to KTAC to apply but it was pretty painless.
Good information and yt is made for educating others like this!!
Nice Tractor
I had a similar experience this summer I broke the windshield on my 2650. The insurance and dealer was right on the situation. However it took 2 months to get the glass from kubota. The insurance thing is good to know.
I have owned a BX1500 with the loader for 19 years. You can’t imagine what I’ve done with that loader. A year ago i bought a L3301, after a week the bucket had a tweak to it.
The bucket would lay 1/2” to 3/4” off floor on one side. I only loaded gravel and dirt with it nothing else. The front edge of the loader bucket also wore down uneven from leveling a 150 foot driveway. The same driveway I have done with the BX1500 for 19 years including a friend’s driveway thats 2000’ long. I don’t believe Kubota is using the same steel on their loaders. It’s softer steel and now you need to buy the blade attachment to avoid the wear. And buy the insurance.
Everybody buys the smallest tractor and does the bigger job with it. Nobody buys the bigger tractor for little smaller work. For that tree you needed alt least 50 hp tractor with 1000kg loader. Never push trees. Always lift them. Or pull with a 8t winch. With your small wheels you generate enormous torque and so pushing power in comparison with the strength of the loader. You gonna bent it. But be Happy this lesson was only that expensive. I saw last week a tym 26ph with broken frame. Be safe. Greetings from Belgium
Thank you! Lessons learned!
Glad to see you were not injured, I have operated machines of all types and can say it's bad when things take a left turn. Awesome to see Kubota had your back! Maybe ponder a heavier machine, B or L size. Also it is rare to hear the humble account of an fellow kubota owner's misadventure. In the end no injuries but bent metal and a little dent in pride. Cheers and keep rolling.
Hi, too bad it happened. But now its fixed and it could have cost you a lot more. Thanks for the info. Take care.
Traded my BX25D on a new B2601. I had paid cash for the BX but decided to take advantage of the 0% financing on the B2601 and did what you did, rolled the cost of the insurance into the loan. You never know exactly what will be covered until you need it and exercise the insurance and yours is the only video I’ve come across that talks about using it in a real life situation. Very informative and helpful, hopefully I’ll never need to use it. Thanks much for the video.
Thanks very much. May you never need to file a claim, but if you do, you’ll be glad to have the insurance.
If you get a loan on the equipment, they require you to get the insurance. Or prove that your business insurance will cover it.
It's like requiring full coverage on a car you have a loan on.
That being said, for what it cost it's a no-brainer. If you've got a good dealer.
Thanks for the info. Think maybe I should look into getting some insurance on my JD 2305.
Good video and good luck with your tractor
Thank you!
Good on ya for this video. I’m a new tractor owner and need to see this
Thanks very much. They DO have limitations. Congrats and enjoy your new tractor! -Ed
thanks for this video. I have the l3301 I did the 60 for 0% as well I got the insurace as well. I didn't know that it would cover this stuff. hats off to you. Glad I found your channel.
Thank you, Shawn. Good choice! -Ed
Very informative video. Thank you.
Thanks very much, and thanks for watching! -Ed
Thank you for sharing 👍
Thanks for watching!
Probably not as humiliating as my story!!! I didn’t even had my brand new 2601 for a full day and had big old tree fell on my tractor across the hood and dash. I was devastated… called KTAC and dealer. First, they were laughing so hard, but in the end they fixed everything like new, no questions asked. Dealer even came to my house to pick up my tractor. Insurance from Kubota is worth every penny in my book! Love your videos, keep them coming.
That does make me feel better. Sorry to hear, but thank you! 😄
When I bought my BX1880, the KTCA insurance wasn’t explained to me as a policy that covered any damage. They just quoted a price and said yes,it’s more expensive than coverage by my own policy. I also bent my loader. If I’d known the full extent of the coverage KTCA offered, I would have given it serious thought. I’m disappointed my local dealer was not clear on the insurance, nor did they offer adequate training for a new tractor owner.
That's a bummer. I think KTAC is definitely worth it. Thanks for watching! -Ed
When moving similarly sized logs to a mobile sawmill I was worried about the same thing. I ended up using my box blade and lifting/rolling it with the 3 point. It's stronger lift and stiffer. Of course you had your chipper on it, and TBH I would have tried the same thing. Bummer it happened to you. Sharing this will help the rest of us so thanks for the humility and honesty.
Thanks very much.
Thanks for posting this video. This morning I received a text from a guy I lent my L2501 to. Apparently, he got the tractor at a bad angle and tipped it over. He used a heavy duty strap and his 4 x 4 truck to get it back up on it's tires but some parts got damaged in the process. I too, have the KTAC insurance on my 2018 tractor. I've never used the insurance and hope that his homeowners insurance will cover it especially in light of the depreciation aspect you mentioned about the parts that have been broken and the fact that it will cost him something above an beyond the deductible. Thanks again for sharing.
That really stinks, but he's lucky to be ok. The KTAC deductible is reasonable so don't rule it out. And if the broken parts are considered part of the tractor, they should be covered. Good luck!
Great stuff love your videos thanks
Thanks so much!
And I need to scoop up one of those perty orange sweatshirts, cause my garage is cluttered too!! Or, randomly organized!!😁
It’s nice to hear the good or bad on KTAC. I was approved for my new B2601 and I will be picking it up next week. I planned on getting the insurance but stories like this kinda get that doubt out of my head. I’ll be getting the insurance for sure!
Just this week, I also just bent the loader on my LX2610 moving a newly cut down tree with the grapple. It is easy to do.
Wow that stinks. Sorry to hear.
Sounds like a week loader set up I pick up logs that big with our compact tractor and move around through the forest working on our Mountain Ranch
Thanks for reminding me to take it easier lol
Thank you for the info and ha we can do a lot with the 2601 and 2501 we just have to do it a bit different lol and hats off to you most guys would not have put that out on TH-cam
Thanks very much. I think we should always do our best to help one another. This includes the good, the bad, and the ugly.
When I bought my Kubota 4 yrs ago, i was torn between the L2501 and the L4701, the largest compact tractor. While I only have about 5 acres with a quarter mile gravel drive, my salesman repeatedly tried to sell me the smaller tractor but the price point pushed me to the larger tractor w/ 6 verses 4 foot implements . While having a hard time deciding and not sold on the salesman’s advice, I figured a bit large was more desirable then a bit small. And the larger tractor came standard with working cruise an option I really really wanted. 4 yrs later, I can honestly say I made the right choice and have no regrets, great Vlog, be safe out there amigo!
Thanks very much! As long as it’s not oversized for the job, bigger is better!
Great info tyvm.
You’re welcome, and thank YOU for watching!
Thanks very informative!
Thanks for watching, Kyle. Glad you liked it. -Ed
Ed - thank you for sharing your experience with KTAK! I added KTAC to my BX2660 that I bought used 3 years ago. Just got the annual renewal last week! $280 premium is worth the peace of mind (really only 80 cents per day!)
My ktac insurance is 60 dollars for every 10k of tractor. So currently paying 120 a month for the insurance
Ed, I believe that Kubota requires KTAC insurance if you finance the tractor. My experience with KTAC claims with my BX have been all positive for sure. I am reminded that 'Stuff happens". I took delivery of my 2601 yesterday. As the driver pulled the tractor off of the truck, the ROPS was up. I made a mental note that I had to drop those when driving it into the garage.... You know where this is going. I failed to drop the ROPS and promptly drive into the exterior trim boards of my garage!!!!! No damage but first blood is drawn! Stuff happens. All good. Best
Oh man, Carl. You are among many for sure! But congrats on the B2601!
I had my first Kubota B21 and thought 💭 I needed a L35 with cab heat,AC, woods backhoe and broke the backhoe ,loader bucket and loader hydro cylinders. After repairs I sold it and bought another B21 ! The B21 was the best machine Kubota ever made. It’s been replaced with the B25 and I don’t know if I will up grade ??
Ive used the hell out of my mahindra 6075 75hp tractor with loader. I learned its limits quick so not to damage. If it says no to scrape/dig then don't! Back it off! Dug one hell of a hole
KTAC insurance can be purchased without any financing. If you pay for your tractor in full upon purchase, then KTAC must be purchased within 30 days of the payment. Also, KTAC does not cover general liability. If you hoe through an electrical line or gas line or run into another vehicle with your snowplow or bucket, then you are not covered by KTAC.
Thanks for the info. I did the exact same thing with my B2650. I’ll be filing a claim today. I almost forgot I had included the KTAC insurance with my 0% financing.
You’ll be glad you did!
Kubota insurance is Thousands higher than my homeowners insurance! 30 bucks a month
I have Ktac and have used it in the past. I am about to use it again, need a new hood, don't ask.
I have the same insurance, and may have caused the same loader damage in a very similar way. Thanks for the insight.
Wow - I'm surprised that several people have commented that they have done similar things, AND that so many of you got the insurance! I always deny any extra insurance right away. Maybe I'll re-think that if I ever make a decision on a new tractor!
@@PurpleCollarLife I believe that the Insurance is automatic when the Kubota unit is financed at no charge.That is what I was told a my Kubota dealer. Might be worth checking into to verify.
Standard kubota wait time on parts is 7-10 days, freight is 10-15 days once shipped. Because of covid the three main kubota warehouse that service the east coast had multiple shutdowns, causing a extremely large back log of orders needing to be shipped out. Keep safe and keep the videos coming.
Thank you!
That had to be hard to go through, I know I’d have felt so disgusted every time I looked at it till fixed. That would have have been four months of discontent :(
Thanks for sharing your story, including that ins on my new bx :)
Thanks Lee. Lessons learned!
I'm surprised in reading the comments how many have had similar issues bending the loader assembly. I have had my New Holland TC40 since 2003 and for close to 2500 hrs. I take care of it, but also work it to it's limits and beyond at times. I have moved logs, rocks, trees and more for hundreds of feet with the loaded rear tires in the air and thankfully never had a single issue. The bucket still sits perfectly square to the ground. The first few times I was nervous that I might cause some damage, but after that I just knew she could take it. Best of luck with your new loader, I hope they made some improvements so you don't have this problem again.
Thanks for your kind comments! I think this would never have happened except for the grapple and the way I latched onto the tree trunk.
Sub-compact tractors and compact tractors get abused more from lack of knowledge/thought than about any other size of equipment. People buy them and the equipment seems "large" to them. When in reality the equipment is smaller than they perceive. In your case you where trying to move a log that weighed tons with a loader that is rated to lift 950 lbs. Be happy that you where not hurt. Also be very thankful that it only cost you $300 or so. $300 does not buy many parts anymore.
P.S. Kubota has often been slow for large attachments/parts like your loader. Currently the Covid issue is wrecking the supply side of things for many manufactures.
The front end loader should be built well enough that it doesn't bend if you try to lift something too heavy. The loader should be able to fully withstand the hydraulic forces. If the object is too heavy for the tractor, it should not bend, it should just not be able to lift it. I personally have over loaded my Branson tractor and that is what happened; it just didn't budge. Raised my rpm's and pulled the joystick back and it just hummed as the hydraulics tried to lift the load. No bending of the loader, no twisted arms or frame. Kubota does not make as good a tractor as other brands. There are other videos of guys cracking the frames on Kubota tractors and bending the frames. I'm glad I bought Red instead of Orange. Cost less too!
New subscriber. You were honest about what you did to damage your loader, that was a huge thing in watching your video, you didn't try and blame the company, you knew you were probably pushing it too hard, and outright admitted it. Thanks for your honesty and your opinion and experience with KTAC...I'll definitely purchase KTAC when I get my tractor.
If you have the money for toys you have the money for insurance, plain and simple... you just never know what could happen, and KTAC can be kept on your equipment forever if you wish, just like car insurance. The deductible is very minimal, even if you have to pay the difference on damaged attachments and in your case ~$350 is a hell of a lot cheaper than buying the loader out of your pocket LOL.
My toy purchase got postponed for several months, but I look forward to getting one of those orange toys here soon though HAHA!!!....have a great week.
Thank you for your insightful comments. Be sure to let us know what “toy” you get! :)
Another great video with great information about the insurance.
Thank you, Lisa!
@@MyClutteredGarage LOL It was Donald this time, but you can always thank Lisa too! LOL
@@MoneypitHomestead you’ll have to start signing all your posts! 😄
@@MyClutteredGarage LOL, that is too funny that you say that because when I showed Lisa what you said, that is what she told me I should start doing! LOL, You really do have great videos, and we both enjoy watching them. Until next time this is Donald saying have a blessed day!
@@MoneypitHomestead Stop by the livestream at 7pm if you can!
When you buy a backhoe or loader it takes a few weeks to get it! but if you replace through insurance company it takes a few months ! now I see the difference that’s how they work
I had a similar situation with our 3901 L tractor but it was the cylinder had bypassed itself and one cylinder was an inch farther out than the other and made the forks and loader bucket unlevel. Fortunately it corrected itself one time when I was unloading a load of round bales.
Had the same thing happen with a cylinder. About 2in out of sync. Uninstalled the bucket loader and put the side of the loader with the bad cylinder against a tree and applied pressure. The cylinder popped back in place and has been sync’d ever since!
Good day Ed! Thanks for sharing the story and very happy you weren't injured and also got looked after, despite the additional unexpected costs. Recognizing the delay caused by the pandemic, it would be good to know how long it took for the claim to be approved. in other words, if the parts had been sitting at your dealers lot, how quickly would they process and approve the claim. I chose not to get the KTAC insurance because it has no 3rd party liability. I did a couple of videos on this topic. The cost of the damage to the equipment is the least of your worries if you end up injuring someone, and/or yourself and/or damaging yours or someone else's property at the same time as the accident with the tractor. KTAC does not cover your medical bills, the other person's medical bills or damage to property or other things, as I understand it. It is limited to the tractor and covered implements. So I purchased insurance through an independent insurance broker here. I have $2 million of 3rd party liability in addition to the tractor and attachments etc, and it costs me about $28.00 a month. No matter what happens to me, someone else involved, the tractor, a building or other property whether it happens on my property or elsewhere, I am covered. I am not sure if such a coverage exists like that in the USA - there is only 1 insurance company that will cover compact tractors to that extent up here. Thanks again for sharing and glad you are back in business!
That's great info, GP. My claim was approved in a couple weeks. There was also some delay because they had to calculate what my cost was going to be for the loader attachment. But to answer your question, I think this would have been resolved within a week or two if the parts were on hand. I should have mentioned that this entire claim was about $3,500. So I can't complain about paying just a little more than the $250 deductible. You're right about having liability insurance - especially if you're working with and around the people. It's always a good idea, and something worth looking into. Sounds like you found a great policy! Thanks for watching, for commenting, and for all your great content on GP Outdoors! -Ed
Your video GP about tractor insurance was a great one and I did exactly what you did too and I thank you again for that Sir Cheers !!!
I agree with RCAFpolarexpress - your video on insurance was great GP. Wonder if anyone in the states has found comparable coverage?
@@larrycainjr Thank you Sir 😊Cheers !!!
GP and everyone below in the comments - great discussion on this! It's all very informative. I never even considered extra insurance or the available tractor insurance.
Thanks for the video, my tractor is covered by my homeowners policy so I never considered Kubota insurance. Seems like a good idea.
Could be a good decision and worth asking your dealer or reaching out to KTAC. Thanks for watching.
Nice intermission Ed! I am glad you were covered with the insurance you bought. Insurance can be a real can of worms. Often you really don't know what you have until you try to file a claim. Good that it worked out for you! Cheers!
Thanks very much, Mike. I was afraid I'd lose people with that intermission, as it kind of looks like a commercial when it first transitions. Glad you liked it. And yes, I've had plenty of policies that never got used, but I got my money's worth on this one. It's a good program. Happy Fall! I'm sure you're gearing up for winter. -Ed
@@MyClutteredGarage yup. Snowing right now! Time to take the mower off, I guess!
Loaders are in short supply. I ordered my tractor and they said it would take six weeks because of the lack of loaders, that was eight weeks ago and they still don't know when it'll be in. It's not a big deal though, we all have to just roll with the covid punches.
I’d have made the same mistaken decision however I’d not have bought the policy so my outcome would have been worse! Great channel!
Well then be extra careful, my friend! Thanks for watching. -Ed
This is an example of why I would buy the L series.
I bet I could break an L 😄
L series would have bent just as quickly. My boss twisted the loader frame on his M5-111 and its substantially more stout and he was just using his bucket.
Can't expect a great deal from an overgrown lawnmower; upgrade with a larger tractor; it don't have to be brand new, many great older tractors working everyday for the past 40 50 years and will continue working well for another 40 50 years. Just an opinion.
My b2601 gets bent like that all the time. I hook or grab somthing on the opposite side and bend it back.
Always make sure your load or work is centered in the bucket. Not at one side or the other. Be real careful if you don't have a solid frame or connecters. Always the weakest link that goes.
Good evening ED 😊 Said What 😮You are already pass 2k !!! Congrat's for this outstanding achievement Sir 😊👍 I fill very sorry this event Sir 😥 No stupidity involved Ed, Simply learning experience at is best Sir 😊 Very nice musical interlude Ed 🌹👌 Great review about your tractor insurance KTAC experience Sir 👌 Have a great week Ed and please do take care of yourself tractor can be fixe or exchange not you !!! Cheers !!!
Thanks so much, Dave for your kindness and compassion!
@@MyClutteredGarage Welcome Sir and keep up these outstanding video's of your Cheers !!
It would have been nice if you could have kept the bent loader that way if you are doing something risky you could use that one
Tip: Add the tractor an attachments as a 'scheduled' item on your home owners insurance. This was a zero cost item for me. Kubota was ok with it and still got 0% financing. Saved $1000's already. I'd recommend getting a Kubota model thats made in Osaka. Higher quality than the ones made in USA. Sadly.
But does your home owners insurance cover misuse?
@@SCDeerAddict You should research what a 'scheduled item' on your insurance does for you. Or talk to your agent.
@@machaf or you could just answer the question for us since you should know already. Thanks
I was thinking about the home owner's but decided that KTAC would be less hassle in the even that I needed work done. Also, home owner's loves to raise rates or cancel if you have too many claims. Lastly, if you take your tractor somewhere else, i.e. neighbors, friends house, property, etc., would it still be covered?
That bucket angle would've been perfect for putting crown in a gravel driveway lol. Glad to see you got it fixed, thanks for taking us through the KTAC process. I didn't know about the adjustable deductible either, but is an insurance claim ever easy?
Now there’s a positive attitude :)
Loader stand c clips are my issue. They pop off. At dealer now for KTAC damage claim.
My problem is getting both loader pins to click in. One would and the other doesn't , that's when everything goes to heck.
The insurance is well worth the cost, we run Kubota equipment on the farm which was a decision made by the partners many years ago. The insurance has been kept up on every piece, not knowing who is going to be running them each and every moment, could be lent to a neighbor or friend, accidents do happen, With all of our equipment purchased from the same dealer, they have gone out of their way to help with every claim. What you have to realize is that every major part. all the way down to buckets, is serial numbered and is registered to that tractor for future claims. Let's face it one piece of glass breaks, or you just plain wear a bucket out, and you are money ahead.
Nope it is THOUSANDS $$$$ OVERPRICED! I PAY 30 BUCKS A MONTH FOR MINE!
Thanks for being transparent and taking ownership of your mistake! Did you happen to catch it on video? I cut a fair amount of firewood and will be very aware, maybe even over cautious thanks to your video!
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks very much. I did not capture that moment on video. However, it was no dramatic moment. Just something I noticed after I let go of the tree. Definitely be cautious, but I still think this equipment is made to be used! Take care. -Ed
There are WAY too many comments, I also bent my loader. Kubota should do a little something something to bolster the strength of this series. I wail on my BX in all the wrong ways and never bent the loader. I was thinking about upgrading to the B series, but now I don't know if that's a good idea. Also, has KTAC terms and conditions changed in the 9 years since I bought it? There was a clear stipulation that the tractor be used and stored on your residence. The insurance DID not follow the equipment. The dealer assured me that it wouldn't be a problem (using it offsite), but we know that verbal is as valuable as the paper it was written on. Sure I would probably been covered, but paying over $1000 for insurance that "might" have covered me rubbed me the wrong way.
Thank you. Not sure how KTAC was set up years ago, but it definitely follows the equipment now.
Interesting, I'll be checking what my insurance actually covers. Thx 🌴🍻
So my home insurance doesn’t pay for the twisted FEL. I’ll have to see about straightening things out.😢🚜🍻🌴 7
