I would feel the same way. The machine should be PDI'ed with everything to spec upon arrival to the buyers location. Somethings slip by, but the dealer should step up and correct it without trying to redirect blame. I would be concerned about his attitude moving forward. If he can't own an incorrect PDI, you could be in for a fight if you ever need him to cover something under warranty.

Agree and something I should keep in mind. The dealer does have a good reputation for standing tall. And, the salesman was all over this situation. He knows I'm in the market for more products like a larger flail mower and grapple. If I encounter problems I also have a second Kubota dealer about the same distance away that also has a good reputation. Appreciate the thought.
