Why do you think Kubota puts the caution in their owners' manuals?

I don't know why they put it in there but I'm going to find out. What I do know is that in this day and age, a lot of disclaimers are put out by manufacturers because some hack lawyer somewhere sued them over something idiotic and won. In many cases, they don't have to thing to do with common sense or practical application. Why can't you buy a decent gasoline can these days? Same reason....
"The heavier and faster the wheel spins the greater the force effect you will experience..." Top speed on this tractor in high/high is 18.4 MPH...I ran it at 15 mph with absolutely no evidence of any of these theoretical problems. Maybe those next 3.4 mph would make a difference but I doubt it. However, I don't know that for sure so I'm going to keep researching this until I do.
