    So Just an update. The dealer offered me some time on a warranty for the parts and labor on the new system. He Listed off all of the work performed on the work order and is printing a copy.

    Thanks , ya I asked about any warranty on the repair, they said since it's been a while since it was done it doesn't have any warranty but then followed up with "now if you were to have any problem we would take care of it". They do have very good reviews as a kubota dealer but no written...
