Season 2 #4 Kubota Grand L 3560 - Why we chose to do our own 400 Hour Service
Overview
This video explains the reasoning behind doing a 400-hour Kubota L3560 service in-house rather than returning to the dealership, covering what the service involves (hydraulic fluid for transmission and front axle, engine oil, four filters) and the owner's frank frustrations with dealer priorities around aesthetics versus functionality. It's more a narrated justification than a how-to demonstration, best suited to owners weighing the same DIY-versus-dealer decision.
An owner-operator sharing personal experience after 14 months of use, with a clear bias toward self-reliance shaped by dissatisfaction with their purchasing dealership.
