You are exactly right about factories getting the lowest bidder to reman their engines. Every manufacturer does that. The bottom line is all they think about unfortunately, have had my share with reman stuff, and best you can hope for when a customer gets one is 50% of them living. Just my experience, and I rebuild mine every time it’s possible, screw reman junk.
Love your videos. Keep doing it your way. Great entertainment. I'm recovering from leukemia and can't do much right now. You make me laugh and it's great medicine. Thank you, take care and may God Bless.
I had that. Years ago I had a 50 series reman put in my old 8430. Tillage only. The very day the warranty expired I was disking and it threw a rod. I called the dealer at 4:00. The owner about had a stroke, but they stood behind it. Got another one and it has been in there probably 2500 hours. It has been a good tractor again - like it was when it was new. I hope that engine lasts the rest of my farming career.
After watching this, I finally subscribed!!! I've been saying for many years, if Kubota's are as dependable as some lead us to believe. Then why do you not see them in the fields as much as Deere, CNH or Agco tractors. 9 out of 10 on youtube that boast about Kubota reliability are those who are compact tractor owners with a couple acres. I have a good friend of mine that has owned Kubota's (100hp tractors) for many many years, he buys them brand new BUT will trade them off between 1200 to 1500 hours max on them. At the same time, he owns Deere tractors, these are 7 series MFWD's that he purchases USED with 2500 hours on the low end and keeps for the long run.
There’s very few people left in the world that Tell THE TRUTH , you my friend are the last hold out !, you speak the truth no matter whom it pisses off and we all appreciate it ! Keep ranting and telling it like it is Warren ! We got your back comrade 🤣🤣🤣
Yup diesel mechanics are in short supply. Some guy I know are getting anywhere from 90$ an hour to 130$ an hour , 12 Hr shifts and standby time aswell. Good money out here in tx
Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experiences!!! Appears the facts would negate buying the orange product. Keep on “ Telling like it is”. You are passionate about your profession and I find the truth refreshing from an experienced pro.
Your Absolutely RIGHT. And NO ONE Takes PRIDE in their WORK like You and I do and We are a DYING BREED. And Im not saying just us 2 are the only ones left. But People like us that take pride in our Workmenship is a Dying breed....I know that motor will last alot longer you rebuilding it I know for a FACT.. Thank You for SHARING....
Good Rant Warren!!!! We run into funky crap all the time. Don't always have the time to do all the work ourselves, but definitely try to do most of it! It's getting parts anymore.. but that's another story 🙄
Jim here from Calgary, Ab really enjoy watching your. Videos. Come from a farm back Ground and learning a lot from your knowledge… Keep up the great work thanks again
Your frank observations and opinions are appreciated. Appreciated the detailed explanation of what took out the Kabota engine. Love to know if spinning a bearing like that is because of wear, lack of oil, whatever, etc.
So true. %100 right on...with everything. Just be sure you know where you're going in the end brother. Don't write that nagging feeling off if you have it. There will be life after death, one of 2 places. And it has nothing to do with good vs bad. I'm not a kook, just felt the need to share. Love the content!
J.C. Smith projects just tore apart a small block Chevy engine, never been started, purchased from Summit Racing. What he found was not good. Basically a spray can rebuild.
Yeah but most guys don't check the engines before they install they just go ahead and install it thinking it's all good without taking shit apart first. Thunderhead always takes his ford motors apart and checks them before he installs it. It's a bit different on these larger motors though .
Thank you for saying what was needed to address the whole situation with the Kubota and the subject of remanufactured engines. by telling the truth as you see it.
Just imagine if Warren knew what was in store for him with reman engines, the Deere that blew up during test drive and the Paccar engine that blew up after less than 1000mi I think. Damn.
Great explanation on the two different tractors! Love the videos I try to watch most of them and the no bullshit tell it how it is! Keep up the good work! Thank you!
Don’t hold back Warren lol. I hope someone at Kubota watched this and take notice of the shop floor people who keep their machines working. Another entertaining video Warren thank you. 🇬🇧 Tom
That is exactly why I rather spend the money and do it myself and have all the machine work done. Where they do remanded engines is a factory a lot of them just do one part of the engine and are on some kind of production so many a day and when someone doesn’t show up that day they will move people around to keep things going. I worked in factory and seen people checking parts that don’t know how to read a scale, calipers on micrometers but in QA department.I have not worked on very many Diesel engines. But have put remanded engines in a few cars and trucks. Never had any luck with them. Have rebuilt a few old tractor engines and never had a problem with them. I am working on a 1956 super 55 olive right now. You are right to speak your mind about your coveralls.
WOW Warren, That was your Best Rant Ever !!! People just don't like to hear the Truth !!! If I could give you 100 Likes I would, For every Idiot out there, Thousands of us Really Appreciate what you do, Your Honesty, Integrity, Work Ethic are second to None !!! Thanks Mate (not comrad) Stay Safe and please keep educating us
I worked for a Kubota dealer and we put a ton of re-man (v3800) engines in svl-95s and they where SHIT. I rebuild one of the dozens we swapped and I know the customer personally. That engine has over 3,000hrs on my rebuild running a mulching head none the less
Bring it on Warren we’re listening to you!!! Telling it like we like to hear!!! The truth!! I like the unknown real things about the tractors most people won’t say about them!! Nice to know before I would sign off on buying one of these creatures
I really wish you were closer to me (Jacksonville, Florida) so you could work on my truck,,when i need it,,,i love the way handle the truth....thank you for telling the truth,,,keep the faith comrade,,,,,,and keep putting out the vid’s,,,🇺🇸😍
Hey bud. I work for Volvo equipment co and they will have some dealership rebuild the factory rebuild engine. I hate remain engine. I have never had any problems with any engine I have rebuild. Thanks for the video.
when kubota first took a step into "farm tractors" i think was a 7950 model . it was a FIAT clone , nearly . kubota manufactured for sure , but a fiat design base unit with kubota front drop axle . worked good , but first one i saw from a farm . was pushed by silage wagon , floated a valve . rebuildable , but in late 80s engines ?? and wet brake tractor , was kinda weird .
Brilliant Warren and very funny. There's a Japanese field mechanic somewhere unhappy with US tractors. The culture is so different it makes you wonder why guys in the us buy Japanese kit. Kubota appear to have their engine DNA from the marine engine industry. The in-frame point is well made.
I was just talking to bobcat about a reman vs new kubota engine and he said they have an independent place that does the motors. It sounded like the same place does all the motors, so maybe they are doing better than how Ford does it. It was only 2k more for a brand new engine from kubota, so we went that route.
It was nice to see.i am glad to hear what happened to it.i think Kubata is very nuts on there parts prices.did you try Fargo Tractor for the hood?I now if us a tractor salvage yard. I use to live up to here is how.
You are 100% correct There are other UA-cam mechanics that are having the same issues with bad rebuild engines If people don’t want to hear your opinion they can not watch videos with your opinions If you get too bothersome I just fast forward to where you are working again Thank you for your opinion and your videos
WR sounds Ike Kubota is a throw away tractor. Run it til it breaks then sell for parts. So you have to buy it cheap to compensate for probable short life. Comrade Bob.
Man I love this rambling especially about the gardener tractors 😁👍 Kubota tractors and skidsteers sure like to breakdown and often due to crappy engineering.
Liked it immensely!!! You started getting hyped to the max on the Kub Deere comparison,then the weiner dogs started dartin across the floor 50 mph .. genuine lmaoff!!!☆☆ .
looking to buy a used tractor and this is very good information from someone who knows. every piece of machinery has its design problems, let it be known what they are.
My dad bought 2 Kubota tractors junk he went back to John Deere tractors that you can rebuild in the frame 80 horse to 130 horse 20 tractors plus still like to mow with my Allis charmers 190XLT. Stay old school stay safe.
Warren...... NO sorry about it. .life is life.. i all ways say ( DO IT RIGHT OR GO HOME.... keep up the GOOD work... :-) we will see you on the next one...
To be fair to kubotu Theyre a hell of a lot cheaper machine to start with Cant really expect it to do similar hours as a John deere or case In West Australia you can pick up a 4000hr 150hp kubota for around $20 25k Cause that's about the stage you have to expect real expensive problems 6000hrs and you just park them in the tree line If they improved everything to the point of matching deere then they'd be worth the same Much the same question we posed to the new holland engineers during a European tour they sent us on Why not fit drive lines more like earth moving gear so we can push more power and longer hrs, they said yea we can put a bulldozer drive line in a tractor but it'll cost 1.4 mil like a dozer Of course it suits some people better to buy the cheaper tractor amd put 200hrs a year maintaining a small property or doing a small job We have 20k ac but have a Chinese payloader that suits us fine because it does so few jobs we can't justify buying a cat or something thatll basically rot away before it wears out You just gotta budget that into your business that you either output large capital for the top of the range gear or you buy the cheap stuff amd fully expect to replace it in the near future Iv put a life span of 2000hrs on our Chinese loader I think itll do more but it would be daft of me to expect its going to do 20k hrs like a cat then can't afford to repare or replace it when it let's go early All I can really say is dont listen to salesmen, do your own research on expected machine life, ask around and ring other dealers for trade in prices If they're only buying or selling old machines real cheap then ask why
LMAO. I see on a daily basis the effect of multiple operators on one vehicle. I have over 600 000 kms (360 000 Miles) on my van (2017 ford transit). I have never opened the motor, repaired the transmission, I still have the Original spark plugs in it. My boss who I sub for has his own fleet and his vans (mercedes sprinters) are breaking down all the time. His drivers beat his equipment to death. They do heavy acceleration with a full load, I am sure they look for every pot hole on the road. Who ever is in charge of maintenance needs to do their job. Hell I change my oil like clock work. Every three weeks sun or shine. Vehicles will never stand up to multiple operators like they do to single self owned vehicles.
What a coincidence...mamas car just went too shit yesterday and this video got released the same day (its the toyota 1.8L VVT 2012) and she had it towed too a shop and the shop is puttin a reman in it...gonna watch the oil now. Definately different motors gas/diesel but i would never ever think of worryin about a reman motor.
Whilst I agree with the points you have made about the large farm tractors from Kubota that they are not well designed at all I would say that exactly the reverse is true of their smaller engines which are used extensively elsewhere in industry (both agricultural and horticultural + landscaping [eg small 360s, etc)) where they have proved themselves highly reliable and efficient over the years. As I understand it nowadays they are about the most common engine running the compressors for reefer (refrigerated) trailers as an example. The problems do seem to be much more of a serious issue in the larger engines such as tractors and some skid steers. One wonders if they have jumped into the larger engine / tractor market and at a lot lower price point than traditional brands much too quickly and without sufficient and adequate field testing making some/many? unreliable. One cannot believe that their trade in value would be great 5 - 10 years down the line!
And this is why I watch Warren's videos.
So true. Tech skills, the rants and learning what to watch for on the engines. Keep em coming.
Yep, no sugar coating lol
Me too comrade, me too
Call it as you see it. Its one of the reasons I watch your videos, l like the take no prisoners attitude
You are exactly right about factories getting the lowest bidder to reman their engines. Every manufacturer does that. The bottom line is all they think about unfortunately, have had my share with reman stuff, and best you can hope for when a customer gets one is 50% of them living.

Love your videos. Keep doing it your way. Great entertainment. I'm recovering from leukemia and can't do much right now. You make me laugh and it's great medicine. Thank you, take care and may God Bless.
Wishing you a speedy recovery! Stay strong
Ken Yarbro Stay strong, we're pulling for you down in Alabama!
I had that. Years ago I had a 50 series reman put in my old 8430. Tillage only. The very day the warranty expired I was disking and it threw a rod. I called the dealer at 4:00.

You need to export yourself to Texas or Indiana or Tennessee where you'd be appreciated. I mean truly appreciated. California is NUTS!!
Yup diesel mechanics are in short supply. Some guy I know are getting anywhere from 90$ an hour to 130$ an hour , 12 Hr shifts and standby time aswell. Good money out here in tx
Where he needs to move is Turkey: Endoran is his kind of ruler!
Warren you are the man and speak my mind! Garden tractor to those tractors is like my Audi to a F1 car. You can’t compare.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experiences!!! Appears the facts would negate buying the orange product.
Keep on “ Telling like it is”. You are passionate about your profession and I find the truth refreshing from an experienced pro.

We run into funky crap all the time. Don't always have the time to do all the work ourselves, but definitely try to do most of it! It's getting parts anymore.. but that's another story 🙄
Never mind honesty, you know what your doing and i have never doubted that, Thanks for letting us watch
Agree 100% never back up for anybody.
👍👍👍
Jim here from Calgary, Ab really enjoy watching your. Videos. Come from a farm back Ground and learning a lot from your knowledge… Keep up the great work thanks again
Warren don't apologize for saying what you know and believe! Keep up the honesty.
Tell it like it is Warren, and the conrad's can choke on it if they don't like it. America needs more honest men like you. God bless.
Your frank observations and opinions are appreciated. Appreciated the detailed explanation of what took out the Kabota engine. Love to know if spinning a bearing like that is because of wear, lack of oil, whatever, etc.
Your knowledge, work ethic and common sense keep me coming back for the next video. Thanks for the content.
I bought a Kubota about 3 years ago. Good info. I will be more vigilant with my maintenance program that is for sure!!
I love your rant's,you have been there done that,say it as it is,You're a good honest person worth listening too.
I appreciate your honesty and speaking your mind!
So true. %100 right on...with everything. Just be sure you know where you're going in the end brother. Don't write that nagging feeling off if you have it.

sad state of affairs in America now. great channel love the videos.

Great explanation on the two different tractors! Love the videos I try to watch most of them and the no bullshit tell it how it is! Keep up the good work! Thank you!
Don’t hold back Warren lol. I hope someone at Kubota watched this and take notice of the shop floor people who keep their machines working. Another entertaining video Warren thank you. 🇬🇧 Tom
You are a top guy mate few honest people like yourself around now.
Thanks for sticking up for what's right.
But "Comrade" My garden tractor..........
That is exactly why I rather spend the money and do it myself and have all the machine work done.

Wow I was gonna buy a kubota , now you got me rethinking that comrade.
Comrade?? Sad statement, but true. Hang in their bud, hopefully things will get better!!
WOW Warren, That was your Best Rant Ever !!!
People just don't like to hear the Truth !!!
If I could give you 100 Likes I would, For every Idiot out there, Thousands of us Really Appreciate what you do, Your Honesty, Integrity, Work Ethic are second to None !!!
Thanks Mate (not comrad) Stay Safe and please keep educating us
Appreciate your honesty and thank you I learn heaps on everything you work keep up the good work
Good to hear someone speaking their mind. Really enjoyed it

I enjoy your down to earth comments and Honesty Wazza Keep it up mate!
Excellent video! He knows what’s good equipment. And what’s made to nickel and dime the farmer
I really wish you were closer to me (Jacksonville, Florida) so you could work on my truck,,when i need it,,,i love the way handle the truth....thank you for telling the truth,,,keep the faith comrade,,,,,,and keep putting out the vid’s,,,🇺🇸😍

It sounded like the same place does all the motors, so maybe they are doing better than how Ford does it. It was only 2k more for a brand new engine from kubota, so we went that route.
Your doing a good job. Takes a person that works on to know were the good and bad in stuff.
Kubota parts are stupid expensive. They wanted $9000 for a diesel lawnmower frame. Pretty proud... Nothing a lot of welding couldn't fix. 🤘👍😁
Just want to say great job warren respect you and your videos Hope you and the family doing well
It was nice to see.i am glad to hear what happened to it.i think Kubata is very nuts on there parts prices.did you try Fargo Tractor for the hood?I now if us a tractor salvage yard. I use to live up to here is how.
You are 100% correct
There are other UA-cam mechanics that are having the same issues with bad rebuild engines
If people don’t want to hear your opinion they can not watch videos with your opinions
If you get too bothersome I just fast forward to where you are working again
Thank you for your opinion and your videos
Very good Comrade I liked the comparison of the two, very educational.
So which manufacturer would you buy a roughly 130hp tractor from if it was for your own farm use?
WR sounds Ike Kubota is a throw away tractor. Run it til it breaks then sell for parts. So you have to buy it cheap to compensate for probable short life. Comrade Bob.
Warren, what year and size G M truck are you working on the brakes? Which springs do you need?
They did not know what they were doing. Did he break the motor in before he put it under load?
good video and well said does not add up on costs and hours worked
Man I love this rambling especially about the gardener tractors 😁👍
Kubota tractors and skidsteers sure like to breakdown and often due to crappy engineering.
i love it. You speak the truth. everything is like this anymore.
Warren, have you checked LMC Trucks on the internet? They might be able to get you the spring kits.
i hear ya warren im in another 28 day stay at home cheers nelson ont canada your a good man
You have pride in your work, factory is union shop, payday & quitting time
Excellent video in my opinion, keep up the good work Warren.
Does anyone know what name to find his videos under on rumble? What he goes by here doesn’t seem to get any hits over there.
Liked it immensely!!! You started getting hyped to the max on the Kub Deere comparison,then the weiner dogs started dartin across the floor 50 mph .. genuine lmaoff!!!☆☆
.
looking to buy a used tractor and this is very good information from someone who knows. every piece of machinery has its design problems, let it be known what they are.
100% correct Kubota in N/Ireland has a poor rep unless you want to do your garden.
My dad bought 2 Kubota tractors junk he went back to John Deere tractors that you can rebuild in the frame 80 horse to 130 horse 20 tractors plus still like to mow with my Allis charmers 190XLT. Stay old school stay safe.
My shop teacher says all the time about how we are a throw away society. People would rather buy something rebuilt already then having theres rebuilt.
One of the best videos ever...
Opens my eyes a bit about Kubota. I have a 4240 Grand L with 1000+ hrs. Just hope I won't need to get a home loan to fix it.
It's refreshing to me to hear the truth. If Kubota owners want to get butt hurt because you tell the truth, let them.
Really like all the detail on the various jobs you have going on. Was curious what was going on with that deere engine with the damper issue.
Kind of interesting my dad had a kubota and over 11300hours but never had a engine problem but did do 3 transmission 😬
im with ya warren hang in there those idiots are not worth worrying about
Warren...... NO sorry about it. .life is life.. i all ways say ( DO IT RIGHT OR GO HOME.... keep up the GOOD work... :-) we will see you on the next one...
Honesty is tantamount to life, without it we have tyranny, like in the leadership in Congress!
BREXIT-USA
Well said
Like your repairs support team
I really like the honest feedback. Curious what would you say is most reliable tractor company with everything you have seen or worked on.
olive drab my ass!they'll
be rainbows & unicorns 😂😂😂
Well said Warren and i for 1 love the rants.
You need to do a weekly what's on your mind video. Love them comrade
Great video!
To be fair to kubotu
Theyre a hell of a lot cheaper machine to start with
Cant really expect it to do similar hours as a John deere or case
In West Australia you can pick up a 4000hr 150hp kubota for around $20 25k
Cause that's about the stage you have to expect real expensive problems
6000hrs and you just park them in the tree line
If they improved everything to the point of matching deere then they'd be worth the same
Much the same question we posed to the new holland engineers during a European tour they sent us on
Why not fit drive lines more like earth moving gear so we can push more power and longer hrs, they said yea we can put a bulldozer drive line in a tractor but it'll cost 1.4 mil like a dozer
Of course it suits some people better to buy the cheaper tractor amd put 200hrs a year maintaining a small property or doing a small job
We have 20k ac but have a Chinese payloader that suits us fine because it does so few jobs we can't justify buying a cat or something thatll basically rot away before it wears out
You just gotta budget that into your business that you either output large capital for the top of the range gear or you buy the cheap stuff amd fully expect to replace it in the near future
Iv put a life span of 2000hrs on our Chinese loader I think itll do more but it would be daft of me to expect its going to do 20k hrs like a cat then can't afford to repare or replace it when it let's go early
All I can really say is dont listen to salesmen, do your own research on expected machine life, ask around and ring other dealers for trade in prices
If they're only buying or selling old machines real cheap then ask why
Dont hold your hand over your keister for it brother love the sarcasm
LMAO. I see on a daily basis the effect of multiple operators on one vehicle. I have over 600 000 kms (360 000 Miles) on my van (2017 ford transit). I have never opened the motor, repaired the transmission, I still have the Original spark plugs in it. My boss who I sub for has his own fleet and his vans (mercedes sprinters) are breaking down all the time. His drivers beat his equipment to death. They do heavy acceleration with a full load, I am sure they look for every pot hole on the road. Who ever is in charge of maintenance needs to do their job. Hell I change my oil like clock work. Every three weeks sun or shine. Vehicles will never stand up to multiple operators like they do to single self owned vehicles.
It's like comparing a go cart with a 5hp Briggs to a 300hp car.
You are 100% correct body I ran into the same problem
Rest assured that the party knows more about what you need than you do. That's because their so much smarter than we are. Aren't they wonderful
What a coincidence...mamas car just went too shit yesterday and this video got released the same day (its the toyota 1.8L VVT 2012) and she had it towed too a shop and the shop is puttin a reman in it...gonna watch the oil now. Definately different motors gas/diesel but i would never ever think of worryin about a reman motor.
Whilst I agree with the points you have made about the large farm tractors from Kubota that they are not well designed at all I would say that exactly the reverse is true of their smaller engines which are used extensively elsewhere in industry (both agricultural and horticultural + landscaping [eg small 360s, etc)) where they have proved themselves highly reliable and efficient over the years. As I understand it nowadays they are about the most common engine running the compressors for reefer (refrigerated) trailers as an example.
The problems do seem to be much more of a serious issue in the larger engines such as tractors and some skid steers. One wonders if they have jumped into the larger engine / tractor market and at a lot lower price point than traditional brands much too quickly and without sufficient and adequate field testing making some/many? unreliable. One cannot believe that their trade in value would be great 5 - 10 years down the line!
Your 100% percent right.
Well you would think the Party would at least give you Navy Blue and not Army green coveralls...love the rant....stay well...
