Re: new memeber from the UP (will start defender thread)
Folks, thank you for the warm welcome. I'll start a new thread dedicated specifically to a HD10 review. I'll try writing something today, but don't expect proper editing or punctuation from me!!
This might not apply to you, but Kubota has failed in the world of grooming. Broken drive line components and there hydrostatic transmission steals to much power. The power loss is around 30% in comparison to a CVT which is about -+2%. There top end speed is also to low when you remove 30% due to pod reduction. But again please note, this might not apply to whatever your needs are. In the case of grooming machine, you can't afford to loose all that power. We operate our 70 some HP Defender occasionally at its max.....
I'll add one working defender photo here.
