I stopped by a dealer and test drove one today. The dealer told me the 900xt now has the same transmission as the 1100 and the two seater rtv. On the test drive the dealer tried to show me how the new transmission does not have the shifting problems. He said to hit the brake and it would unload the hydraulic transmission and shiftifng would be easy. Wrong! He could not get it to shift gears. I had my check book in hand and then decided to think it over. I can't help but think that warming the transmission has to make it work better though. Still undecided.
Got rid of kawasaki mule and now I am debating between the rtv 900 or the Honda Big Red.
I did not check the DOM but the unit clearly has the XT decal. Dealer received it a couple weeks ago. It has the spray-lined bed. It is a work site model.
