Hi,
I am new to OTT as well as a first time Kubota owner. I sold my JD and went orange last month and so far I am very happy. There is one issue I am concerned about and I would like some input from the members.
When I start the tractor it idles very rough and blows a lot of white smoke. I had the service tech back out to have a look at it and he said that was normal. At the same time he also noticed the coolant was low and topped it off. He said the coolant was low due to the addition of the block heater and there may have been a bubble in the system. I have owned several diesels (both tractors and trucks) and I know white smoke is never a good thing when it comes to diesels.
I took a video of the tractor starting so you can get a better idea of what I am talking about. I was about 65 degrees out and the tractor had sat all night. Here is the link http://youtu.be/W4X3dJ8QvOQ or you can click here
Thanks for your help.
