I've had this feeling of sluggishness. So, I used my Garmin to check the groundspeed of my Kioti. Loader arms only & with a 6' brusch hog hanging off the back, I can only get a max of 11 mph on level ground @ 2500rpm. My elevation is about 1200'.
The specs say, unloaded it should be doing 15.6...what gives? Island & other DK40 hst owners, can you check this for me? I am just wondering if something is wrong, or if this is normal after 300 hrs. Everything works fine, but I have found myself using high gear more and more when perviously mid range was sufficient.
or...I could be going a little cr aaa zzzey.
