If you bought one run it and tell us about it !
Others were ditching their new 300s because of armature problems, Perkins bearing & crankshaft problems, & company dealer warranty issues. What I want to know is why they didn't go with the Kohler engines already had in the Vantage series. It's a no brainer why they ditched Perkins and back to a Kubota. I even saw dealers bailing out getting rid of them below cost. All that tells you there have been problems !
