darryl......called the kubota dealer yesterday and talked to the manager, who also happens to be the guy that delivered it to me. i live over an hour away. he said the unit was new in the crate so after all the prep etc work was done he tested it, loaded it on his trailer, and drove it off the trailer at my place. said the noise level is higher than my dixie chopper but that was normal. i live pretty much on his way home and he said to run the hell out of it and call him again in about 6 months and he would stop by again and listen to it. said i have a 3 yr warranty that covers that issue, if it is an issue. if i had a trailer i would probably find the time and run it down there but i don't so i guess i'll leave it at that.
