    Kubota Advice: Buy and Fix up L5030HST, or Get Newer TYM?

    Sidekick RTV-XG850 backfiring / loss of power

    It's funny because my dealer didn't call the shots. Their Kubota rep and technical support were controlling everything because it was still under warranty with only a couple hours. There weren't test procedures for the engine and all they could try is swapping parts out. We also had...
