Yeah I haven't gotten that far yet. I like both of those ideas, I'm just worried that too much might take me over the threshold and be too tight. I'll have to play around with it. I just didn't think I needed to for a machine with only 25 hours on it at the time frame (and I still don't consider the money paid out for the tractor). I was hoping that Kubota would just fix the issue at some point, but I don't think they have. I'll have to give Dave a call this Spring at Kubota and see what he has to say.Get a slightly smaller belt. Or add another spring to add more belt tension if possible on your machine.
