  Kawasaki Mule 3010 disel vs Kubota RTV

Chief, I've run the mule but not head to head with the RTV900 to see if there was a speed difference but there didn't seem to be any. I've also towed a 9x18 load of wheat straw for 2 miles in middle range and was able to tow at 15 to 18 mph consistantly on near flat road. That included removing it from the field as well as on the road which I as well as spectators were quite shocked with. For people that are doubters of the hydro I was with heat gun in hand and it didn't increase the normal running temperature at all. I would wonder what the need for more power or speed especially both would do to the liability of the units would be?

Murf, we are lucky to have the moisture we do so we don't get into the dry dust that some do. The vertical air intake at the top of te cabs are used in quite a few areas of the world. While in Austraila this spring I saw many veichles equipped that way for the desert areas.

When backing up a hill many units won't release with out difficulty. When you do back up stop with the brakes! Then the transmission is not doing the stopping for you and it should release.

Stopping with the brakes is the most important as what is happening is the range transmission is left under load which is the problem. The temperature gauges don't seem to move much with the Kubotas but from time to time every one gets a bad part. As you get more hours on it and the gears get a little more used the problem will fade away. This is nothing new and there are many machines that have this problem on different ends of there life cycle. When new from the tightness and when old with many thousands of hours from sloppy shifting fork rails and slides.
