@@johndowe7003 I'm 70 yrs old and I'm so glad I grew up in the time that I did . Now days with the internet all the scammers , fake news , kids don't know if they want to be a boy or girl , people don't know what to believe . I do believe this guy Warren is telling the truth because he takes these machines apart & can physically show you the difference in design , he's not a salesmen , he's telling you how it is .
Masterpiece Rant!!! Lol...you go Warren! Another way to relieve stress is throw that 1-1/4" Combo Wrench as hard as you can across the shop...does wonders for the soul!
This is the first video of yours that I watched . I'm one of those small Kubota tractor guys you mentioned and I never knew about the large commercial tractors being so complicated . I would think if they designed that engine like that it would be bullet proof and last 3 -4 times what a traditionally designed would . I'm subscribing to your channel , I like a guy that knows what there talking about and being honest . I am 70 yrs old and I've always liked machines that were simply designed . Thank you for sharing your knowledge !
Warren, what you are doing and the way that you do it is what has made this country stand apart from so many others. You're a true patriot my friend. Blazing your own trail and proving time and time again that REAL VALUE in ANY field comes from someone who knows to look for a CAUSE before looking to R&R. Your customers should be as thankful as we are for the way you do your work. God bless you, your business and your family.
Kubota garden tractor owner here (one of those 3 cylinder diesel BX models like you mentioned). I agree with your point...my tractor has about as much in common with that Kubota you have there as a John Deere garden tractor from one of the big box stores does with the John Deere you have. They just share the same nameplate and paint color.
Same here, only older believe a B7200 HST 1986 vintage. Great little unit, however I am the ONLY operator and it gets proper maintenance. So how DOES one compare it to what Warren is working on?? Not possible!
Warren, you are one of the few that give me hope to have some kind of faith in people. I whole heartedly thank you for that!!! You videos are dynamite as well lol
I had that. Years ago I had a 50 series reman put in my old 8430. Tillage only. The very day the warranty expired I was disking and it threw a rod. I called the dealer at 4:00. The owner about had a stroke, but they stood behind it. Got another one and it has been in there probably 2500 hours. It has been a good tractor again - like it was when it was new. I hope that engine lasts the rest of my farming career.
I go to a major tractor and farm equipment auction several times a year looking for projects and or deals.Last October or November I was there and looking for a decent 60 HP range loader tractor. There was a line of 8 down right good looking Kubota's in the right HP range with loaders and all 4WD. All were under 5 years old and all were under 2000 hours. Started them one at a time and every single one of them soaked my arm with oil when I pulled the dip stick when they were running to check for bottom end blowby. Ended up with a JD 5203 with loader. People with Kubota's seem to be as brand loyal as Harley owners but as you pointed out in an exceptional way they are a bear to fix and God help you when something major goes wrong. I had a major sell out last fall and sold 90% of my tractors and equipment for what turned out to be top dollar. THEN wife said let's keep the place for a few more years so I'm buying to replace what I sold. I'd kept a 80's era JD 1250 made by Yanmar (fave tractor) bought the JD 5203 with loader (goodun made in India) and just bought a new JD 5075E 75 HP with cab and air (assembled in U.S.A.) and some other equipment. So, I got a barn full of John Deere's but since they were made in Japan,India, and the U.S. they can't talk to one another lol.
Love your videos. Keep doing it your way. Great entertainment. I'm recovering from leukemia and can't do much right now. You make me laugh and it's great medicine. Thank you, take care and may God Bless.
Warren you are a totally honest savvy guy and master mechanic. I am72 and have worked with mechanics for years and you remind me of the old timers who taught me when I was a kid. They wouldn't do a job if it wasn't done right, . the way they wanted. One bad job could ruin your reputation. I look at remanufactured engines like a reman water pump for a car. You put it in and cross your fingers. Thats why a brand new alternator costs $400 and a reman costs $69!!! Buy the parts and rebuild it yourself, always the best policy.................for us old farts....
No in his campaign he was told he was going to give us all free engine and now that he is in office he is being told we can't have those engines because our taxes are going up to fund engine remanufacturing company's in another country
Absolutely loved your experienced-honest analysis on the state of big tractor engine design. Unbelievable! U r terrific sir!👨🔧 Your videos clearly show both general audience & owners/investors the benefit of precise maintenance & pro level 'hands-on' mechanical guys like you! Hatsoff & salute you sir! Now stay safe..+ take care of your beautiful puppies!🤗
You are exactly right about factories getting the lowest bidder to reman their engines. Every manufacturer does that. The bottom line is all they think about unfortunately, have had my share with reman stuff, and best you can hope for when a customer gets one is 50% of them living. Just my experience, and I rebuild mine every time it’s possible, screw reman junk.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experiences!!! Appears the facts would negate buying the orange product. Keep on “ Telling like it is”. You are passionate about your profession and I find the truth refreshing from an experienced pro.
Good Rant Warren!!!! We run into funky crap all the time. Don't always have the time to do all the work ourselves, but definitely try to do most of it! It's getting parts anymore.. but that's another story 🙄
After watching this, I finally subscribed!!! I've been saying for many years, if Kubota's are as dependable as some lead us to believe. Then why do you not see them in the fields as much as Deere, CNH or Agco tractors. 9 out of 10 on youtube that boast about Kubota reliability are those who are compact tractor owners with a couple acres. I have a good friend of mine that has owned Kubota's (100hp tractors) for many many years, he buys them brand new BUT will trade them off between 1200 to 1500 hours max on them. At the same time, he owns Deere tractors, these are 7 series MFWD's that he purchases USED with 2500 hours on the low end and keeps for the long run.
From one field mechanic to another I love watching your video's Warren, seeing your dogs hang out with you at the garage and riding with you in the truck. I also love video's like this because you say exactly what's on my mind . Kubota is really stupid engineered.
Warren I enjoy your videos. The reason I do is because who you are. No bull to the point and a honest hard working American. I am not happy with our current situation either but I am a American and proud. Keep on Rollin and give those puppies a hug for this ole guy in Texas.
There’s very few people left in the world that Tell THE TRUTH , you my friend are the last hold out !, you speak the truth no matter whom it pisses off and we all appreciate it ! Keep ranting and telling it like it is Warren ! We got your back comrade 🤣🤣🤣
When I was a transport mechanic we had issues with sour re-man engines about 40% of the time. Some of the workmanship on those was appalling. Blocks machined improperly, head bolts that weren't torqued, bent rocker shafts, cam bearings misaligned, gaskets and seals damaged on assembly, rods with 0 side clearance, cross threaded bolts, etc. One gas engine, a truck 427 GMC, had only one head torqued down. The other side had the bolts snugged to maybe a "hand tight" 30-ish ft-lbs - but it was obvious that they forgot to torque both heads completely. It burned a groove between two cylinders on the block when the head gasket let go. We were amazed it held water. One local contract production line machine shop that re-built 'factory re-man' engines paid their unskilled workforce barely above minimum wage. Think about that - the idiots putting those engines together are on-par ethically, educationally and motivationally with someone who works at McD's.
I went to McDonald's last week..i said to the drivethru, i want half dozen nuggets a hamburger and a coke..the voice said back to me "we dont have half dozen, we have 6 9 and 12 sir"...go figure huh?
A buddy of mine has a Orange machine, about the same size as the one you’re working on, has had it for three years and has to replace front end parts each year like clock work
Alot of people think their little tractors are comparable because the stupid little 30hp tractors cost like $25,000. What they fail to realize is that these larger tractors cost over $100,000 when they are new. I have a 70hp tractor that weighs about 10,000# with loader and the tires loaded. When I load it on the trailer most people are surprised at how heavy it actually is. I consider my tractor a "small" ranch/farm tractor anything smaller is a garden tractor. This goes for newer equipment, older stuff is always under-rated and alot heavier iron. Thanks for the videos!!!
Keep up the good work Warren! Hearing facts from a true mechanic is what we need to hear! I'd love to buy a small Kubota tractor but like you said that is a whole different world with maintenance and an operator that cares!
Warren I admire how hard you work and how you deal with the troubles you run into . The way I deal with working on something that gives me grief is funny. I talk to myself in your voice . It seems to work and somehow helps to get the job done. Thank you for your videos!
Yup diesel mechanics are in short supply. Some guy I know are getting anywhere from 90$ an hour to 130$ an hour , 12 Hr shifts and standby time aswell. Good money out here in tx
Hey Warren, after seeing this video it sure reminds me of what has been happening in the Auto industry as well. If seen some real nightmares. From engines that burn oil to the issues with turbochargers. Even the transmission in some of these newer cars is a poor design .The CVT transmissions were junk in my opinion too. Fords design of the Eco-boost engines had a serious flaws too. By switching to a high pressure fuel pump and direct injection they discovered later the intake valves were coking and the cylinders were losing compression because the valves started leaking due to the build up which prevented them from closing. Their fix was to add sequential fuel injection. This kept the valves from coking. On that same engine Ford put the water pump inside the timing case and when the water pump fails and leaks antifreeze pours into the oil pan and seizes the engine. Their fix was to put an idler pulley in the pumps place and mounting the pump outside the crankcase with a gaudy set of tubes that are routed outside of the crankcase. I could go on I’ve heard some real nightmare stories with vehicles designed from the late 1990’s up to today. It all begs the question “ what the hell were these designers doing. What ever happened to proving a design before putting it into production. The prices and designers for these newer vehicles is rediculous. I enjoy your perspective and your ability to work on a wide variety of tractors and vehicles.
KOMRADE! We love your videos and are quite happy when our glorious leaders at CZcams allow us to watch them. In all seriousness, but not too serious, I've always wondered what the advantage each tractor manufacturer had over others. It is people like you that the design enginerds need to have conversations with.
Check out J.C. Smith's channel here on CZcams. He shared a story about a customer that bought a reman engine from Summit Racing to drop into his square body Chevy. What he got was basically a used engine cobbled together with new parts. Summit also uses a third party rebuilder. Its disgusting how an old timer got jerked around like that.
First!!!!!!!! Give them hell Warren!!!!! You, J.C. Smith and I have the same opinion on remans!!!! I've never had one of my engines come back! They want people to buy new not repair or pay out the ass. Check with LMC Truck they might have what you need.
Warren, it's perfectly alright to declare something a turd when it is such. Engineering for efficient assembly without forethought for maintenance and repair. Gotta love it.
I bought a reman engine for my skidder because we figured we could just drop it in and get back to work. It had several problems so we could have rebuilt the old engine in the same time it took to get the new one straightened out. The service guy came out 3 times before it was operational. It didn't cost money but we lost the time. I always joke that Kubota orange paint is the best in the world because no one ever wears it off their loader buckets. Most homeowners or horse farmers with Kubotas don't use them very hard. It seems that often Japanese parts are very expensive
I agree with you my friend we all need to keep one eye behind you because this country is ready to explode take care buddy I liked kabota until I seen you work on them there no reason for what they do
@@GosselinFarmsEdGosselin Come to think of it I believe we did a clutch on the 8950 around 1300 hours lol. Revising my claim the old 4050 is a tank lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣, TELL IT Warren!!!!! Yeeeeha!!!!! Now we'r telling like it is, F..kem if they can not take it. Every thing as gotten completely out of control in the wrong way!!!!!
J.C. Smith projects just tore apart a small block Chevy engine, never been started, purchased from Summit Racing. What he found was not good. Basically a spray can rebuild.
Yeah but most guys don't check the engines before they install they just go ahead and install it thinking it's all good without taking shit apart first. Thunderhead always takes his ford motors apart and checks them before he installs it. It's a bit different on these larger motors though .
Warren, I look forward to all of your videos and keep telling us what you REALLY think! It doesn't offend me, everyone has their right to their own opinions, this is YOUR channel and if viewers don't agree and are offended, that's THEIR problem.
Your frank observations and opinions are appreciated. Appreciated the detailed explanation of what took out the Kabota engine. Love to know if spinning a bearing like that is because of wear, lack of oil, whatever, etc.
M8 Kubota made by Versatile has Cummins engines. Kubota dealer near me says there is a stop sale order on them due to axle problems related to FEL overload (See the comment about kubotas with annual front end repairs)
@@gordonborsboom7460 thanks I thought any large tractors greater than 99hp have other manufacturers engines. I will never buy Kubota because I hate orange
Jim here from Calgary, Ab really enjoy watching your. Videos. Come from a farm back Ground and learning a lot from your knowledge… Keep up the great work thanks again
The dumbass doesn’t realize that whatever makes the electricity emits carbon dioxide. Which, by the way, every living thing on this earth needs to survive. Hydro-electric is the cleanest energy going but you have to take in environmental degradation with reservoirs and marine life. Everything is a trade off and no one way is all good or all bad. It’s just who can impose their will on the most people.
Your Absolutely RIGHT. And NO ONE Takes PRIDE in their WORK like You and I do and We are a DYING BREED. And Im not saying just us 2 are the only ones left. But People like us that take pride in our Workmenship is a Dying breed....I know that motor will last alot longer you rebuilding it I know for a FACT.. Thank You for SHARING....
Worked on a lot of the smaller Kubota diesel 23hp 3 cylinder engines fitting to commercial ride on mowers. Regular cracking on the cylinder heads between the exhaust valves when overheated RRP on these heads was around £1000 and that was around 5 years ago!
You go Warren.. Not that any commercial tractor will last for ever, but its a case of you get what you pay for quality of the pour of metal, quality of machining, quality of the built it all adds up. The problem today is manufacturers are cutting cost across the board to maximize the bottom line. Plus the engineers today that design the stuff, half of them never seen a farm, or never serviced a machine in the field. Trust me when I say this cause i was literally born and raised across the street, from JD's tractor works, I had multiple family members who worked for JD. the problem comrade is we now live in a throw away society buy it oh doesn't it look shiny and all. but when it breaks just toss it. VERY sad.

Corruption in government they sold us down the river, because we are afraid to use our second amendment for the reason it was given to us . WE are responsible for that .🐔💩 When we let them take us off the gold standard that’s when it started. Democrats and Republicans are both fucking worthless.
You are 100 % correct about remanufactured engines . Cheaper and safer to do it yourself. I can warranty my work but I can't someone else's. Kubota tractors are decent but I'd rather have a case or deere . We have ran a couple of kubota 80 hp tractors with loaders but we learned fast that they can be lemons . Keep up the good work and stay safe !
An honest opinion and advice from a well respected, honest mechanic such as yourself Warren, is all any fair dinkum person asks and should expect. Thank you for your honesty and frankness. Greatly appreciated.
I just thought I would share the definition of Comrade taken from the Webster’s Dictionary (copyright 1991 by Random House, Inc) says: Comrade: 1. A person Who shares in one’s activities, occupation, etc; companion, associate, or friend. 2. A fellow member of a fraternal group, political party, etc. 3. A Communist or fellow Communist - Communist: 1. A member of a Communist Party. 2. An advocate of communism. 3. A person who is regarded as supporting politically leftist or subversive causes.
Don’t hold back Warren lol. I hope someone at Kubota watched this and take notice of the shop floor people who keep their machines working. Another entertaining video Warren thank you. 🇬🇧 Tom
No matter what, at the end of the day its your job, your customer, your video, and your reputation. From where Im sitting I agree with you 100%. Opinions... everybody's got one.
You tell the truth because you have integrity, a rare quality in people these days. the reason others don't like it is because they don't have integrity and it makes them look bad. Nothing better than having pride in one's work. thanks for the vids.
I totally understand what you're saying, the weekend farmers on their lawnmowers have no idea what your talking about, I'm a field mechanic down in Texas and people always have comments, Kubota is highly overrated in my opinion.
And this is why I watch Warren's videos.
So true. Tech skills, the rants and learning what to watch for on the engines. Keep em coming.
Yep, no sugar coating lol
Me too comrade, me too
Call it as you see it. Its one of the reasons I watch your videos, l like the take no prisoners attitude
Thanks for the video comrade Warren. Your commitment to the party is appreciated and will keep you out of the gulag, for now.

Yup diesel mechanics are in short supply. Some guy I know are getting anywhere from 90$ an hour to 130$ an hour , 12 Hr shifts and standby time aswell. Good money out here in tx
Where he needs to move is Turkey: Endoran is his kind of ruler!
Agree 100% never back up for anybody.
👍👍👍
Hey Warren, after seeing this video it sure reminds me of what has been happening in the Auto industry as well. If seen some real nightmares. From engines that burn oil to the issues with turbochargers. Even the transmission in some of these newer cars is a poor design .The CVT transmissions were junk in my opinion too. Fords design of the Eco-boost engines had a serious flaws too. By switching to a high pressure fuel pump and direct injection they discovered later the intake valves were coking and the cylinders were losing compression because the valves started leaking due to the build up which prevented them from closing. Their fix was to add sequential fuel injection. This kept the valves from coking. On that same engine Ford put the water pump inside the timing case and when the water pump fails and leaks antifreeze pours into the oil pan and seizes the engine. Their fix was to put an idler pulley in the pumps place and mounting the pump outside the crankcase with a gaudy set of tubes that are routed outside of the crankcase. I could go on I’ve heard some real nightmare stories with vehicles designed from the late 1990’s up to today. It all begs the question “ what the hell were these designers doing. What ever happened to proving a design before putting it into production. The prices and designers for these newer vehicles is rediculous. I enjoy your perspective and your ability to work on a wide variety of tractors and vehicles.
I don't care what they say about you and you're opinions!! It's just you and that's why I like to see you're video's.
Keep going Mr. Warren
I love your storys ,I'd love to visit and swap storys sometime ,you keep your chin up and do it right like always ,bad never works for no one!
Let me tell you. You are one of the best I wish you was in the Midwest.
KOMRADE! We love your videos and are quite happy when our glorious leaders at CZcams allow us to watch them.
In all seriousness, but not too serious, I've always wondered what the advantage each tractor manufacturer had over others. It is people like you that the design enginerds need to have conversations with.
Check out J.C. Smith's channel here on CZcams. He shared a story about a customer that bought a reman engine from Summit Racing to drop into his square body Chevy. What he got was basically a used engine cobbled together with new parts. Summit also uses a third party rebuilder. Its disgusting how an old timer got jerked around like that.
First!!!!!!!! Give them hell Warren!!!!! You, J.C. Smith and I have the same opinion on remans!!!! I've never had one of my engines come back! They want people to buy new not repair or pay out the ass. Check with LMC Truck they might have what you need.
Keep the videos coming comrade warren 😂😂😂😂
Warren, it's perfectly alright to declare something a turd when it is such. Engineering for efficient assembly without forethought for maintenance and repair. Gotta love it.
Love it!! Couldn't have said it any better myself. Thanks for posting . This was Great !!
It is what it is , always entertaining (comrade) Warren.
Your rebuild will be done right.
Happy customer, happy days.
I bought a reman engine for my skidder because we figured we could just drop it in and get back to work. It had several problems so we could have rebuilt the old engine in the same time it took to get the new one straightened out. The service guy came out 3 times before it was operational. It didn't cost money but we lost the time.
I always joke that Kubota orange paint is the best in the world because no one ever wears it off their loader buckets. Most homeowners or horse farmers with Kubotas don't use them very hard. It seems that often Japanese parts are very expensive
Warren you are the man and speak my mind! Garden tractor to those tractors is like my Audi to a F1 car. You can’t compare.
All good, preach on, truth is a rare commodity.
Forgot to mention, have a great running JD commercial mower.
I agree with you my friend we all need to keep one eye behind you because this country is ready to explode take care buddy I liked kabota until I seen you work on them there no reason for what they do
It's going to get interesting...
Older Kubota's seemed to be better and heaver. We have a 50 and 100 hp kubota from the 80's and they are tanks
@@jeffstrains4014 can't argue with you.. just don't use any Kabota for heavy tillage work, they don't like it..
@@GosselinFarmsEdGosselin Come to think of it I believe we did a clutch on the 8950 around 1300 hours lol. Revising my claim the old 4050 is a tank lol
Comrad reporting for duty!! I’ll see you in the re education camp Warren!! Can’t wait lol
Warren your a legend. Keep telling it how it is. Love your work. From self employed new zealand mechanic.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣, TELL IT Warren!!!!! Yeeeeha!!!!! Now we'r telling like it is, F..kem if they can not take it. Every thing as gotten completely out of control in the wrong way!!!!!
J.C. Smith projects just tore apart a small block Chevy engine, never been started, purchased from Summit Racing. What he found was not good. Basically a spray can rebuild.
Yeah but most guys don't check the engines before they install they just go ahead and install it thinking it's all good without taking shit apart first. Thunderhead always takes his ford motors apart and checks them before he installs it. It's a bit different on these larger motors though .
Warren Ive been watching your videos going on two years now and have liked everyone of them . Thankyou
Warren you are outstanding. Keep doing what you are
Wow I knew there was more about what happened to that engine.
Funny. Saved some propane to heat the shop on that one. Ive done that.
Warren, I look forward to all of your videos and keep telling us what you REALLY think! It doesn't offend me, everyone has their right to their own opinions, this is YOUR channel and if viewers don't agree and are offended, that's THEIR problem.
Tell it like it is Warren, and the conrad's can choke on it if they don't like it. America needs more honest men like you. God bless.
Great story time. I'm watching the video again incase I missed a swear word or 2. Thanks for sharing.
Telling it like it is. Good for you.😂 Opening comments.
Always heard good things about Kabota, you laid it out straight and I can’t argue with that. Great video. Thank you for telling it how it is.
Your frank observations and opinions are appreciated. Appreciated the detailed explanation of what took out the Kabota engine. Love to know if spinning a bearing like that is because of wear, lack of oil, whatever, etc.
No idea what your ranting about but its a West video! comrade warren
Best video ever, I thought they have Cummins engine.
M8 Kubota made by Versatile has Cummins engines.
Kubota dealer near me says there is a stop sale order on them due to axle problems related to FEL overload
(See the comment about kubotas with annual front end repairs)
@@gordonborsboom7460 thanks I thought any large tractors greater than 99hp have other manufacturers engines. I will never buy Kubota because I hate orange
Spot on Warren I could not have put that better . Well done and those who don't like it TOUGH !
Jim here from Calgary, Ab really enjoy watching your. Videos. Come from a farm back Ground and learning a lot from your knowledge… Keep up the great work thanks again
But "Comrade" My garden tractor..........
Gavin will fix everything when he makes everything electric. Electricity makes no emissions!
Oh but it does !
@@tectalabyss I hope my sarcasm did not go unnoticed.
@@dozer1642 I see. Thank you.
The dumbass doesn’t realize that whatever makes the electricity emits carbon dioxide. Which, by the way, every living thing on this earth needs to survive. Hydro-electric is the cleanest energy going but you have to take in environmental degradation with reservoirs and marine life. Everything is a trade off and no one way is all good or all bad. It’s just who can impose their will on the most people.
The kubota is clearly not produced to be serviced and overhauled,hence the spare parts prices.
I even doubt about its commercial application ability.
Your Absolutely RIGHT. And NO ONE Takes PRIDE in their WORK like You and I do and We are a DYING BREED. And Im not saying just us 2 are the only ones left. But People like us that take pride in our Workmenship is a Dying breed....I know that motor will last alot longer you rebuilding it I know for a FACT.. Thank You for SHARING....
keep 'em coming comrade!
I agree with you 💯!! On kubota!! They are junk!!!
Yes, But, I like them.
Worked on a lot of the smaller Kubota diesel 23hp 3 cylinder engines fitting to commercial ride on mowers. Regular cracking on the cylinder heads between the exhaust valves when overheated RRP on these heads was around £1000 and that was around 5 years ago!
I'm a diesel mechanic
You go Warren.. Not that any commercial tractor will last for ever, but its a case of you get what you pay for quality of the pour of metal, quality of machining, quality of the built it all adds up. The problem today is manufacturers are cutting cost across the board to maximize the bottom line. Plus the engineers today that design the stuff, half of them never seen a farm, or never serviced a machine in the field. Trust me when I say this cause i was literally born and raised across the street, from JD's tractor works, I had multiple family members who worked for JD. the problem comrade is we now live in a throw away society buy it oh doesn't it look shiny and all. but when it breaks just toss it. VERY sad.
Thanks much for the video Warren. Appreciate your honesty, not enough of that around these day. Keep up the good work.

1970's a person making $12,000 a year could buy a new car and a new house, what happened?
Inflation
@@codemanblue more than inflation, think about it, common citizens were able to live to well!
Corruption in government they sold us down the river, because we are afraid to use our second amendment for the reason it was given to us . WE are responsible for that .🐔💩 When we let them take us off the gold standard that’s when it started. Democrats and Republicans are both fucking worthless.
@@mikeyd5969 exactly!

You are 100 % correct about remanufactured engines . Cheaper and safer to do it yourself. I can warranty my work but I can't someone else's. Kubota tractors are decent but I'd rather have a case or deere . We have ran a couple of kubota 80 hp tractors with loaders but we learned fast that they can be lemons . Keep up the good work and stay safe !
An honest opinion and advice from a well respected, honest mechanic such as yourself Warren, is all any fair dinkum person asks and should expect. Thank you for your honesty and frankness. Greatly appreciated.
It's required to pick up a Weiner dog and love on it..................just sayin'
I just thought I would share the definition of Comrade taken from the Webster’s Dictionary (copyright 1991 by Random House, Inc) says:
Comrade: 1. A person Who shares in one’s activities, occupation, etc; companion, associate, or friend.
2. A fellow member of a fraternal group, political party, etc.
3. A Communist or fellow Communist -
Communist: 1. A member of a Communist Party.
2. An advocate of communism. 3. A person who is regarded as supporting politically leftist or subversive causes.
Don’t hold back Warren lol. I hope someone at Kubota watched this and take notice of the shop floor people who keep their machines working. Another entertaining video Warren thank you. 🇬🇧 Tom
Never mind honesty, you know what your doing and i have never doubted that, Thanks for letting us watch
No matter what, at the end of the day its your job, your customer, your video, and your reputation. From where Im sitting I agree with you 100%. Opinions... everybody's got one.
You tell the truth because you have integrity, a rare quality in people these days. the reason others don't like it is because they don't have integrity and it makes them look bad. Nothing better than having pride in one's work. thanks for the vids.
I totally understand what you're saying, the weekend farmers on their lawnmowers have no idea what your talking about, I'm a field mechanic down in Texas and people always have comments, Kubota is highly overrated in my opinion.
Wow I was gonna buy a kubota , now you got me rethinking that comrade.
