All,</P>
Seems like a great Forum here. I have a RTV900 that I use for occcasional hunting / hauling firewood / etc.... Love it to date, but only have 53 hours on it so far (pretty much a garage queen for it's first year!!!!). I just went over my 1 year of ownership and now have the front driveshaft rattle. Just started when I had it out this weekend, seems odd not to have it from the start but hopefully it can still be covered. The real reason for this post is a question I have about the hydrostat. I am currently researching a purchase of another UTV for play use. I found the following comment in one of the ATV forums for the Poalris XP:</P>
----"<FONT face=Arial size=2>THe KUBOTAs are what are Unreliable, that fully Hydrostate system is unproven and unreliable, it is not the same as what is in the tractors it is made by someone else also... "---------</FONT></P>
<FONT face=Arial size=2>First off, is this true? Seems like it could be some mud slinging by some jealous folks, but thought you guys may have some thoughts or insight on this. </FONT></P>
<FONT face=Arial size=2>Also, are there any high hour RTV's out there. My dad seemed to always get 2K+ hours out of his Kubota tractors with no issues (with reg service). Hpefully the same will hold true for the RTV's.</FONT></P>
