    VHT Slipping?

    Good point. It has only begun to act like this after the oil has been changed. I'll have to try the SUDT and see if that makes a difference. What is the difference between the SUDT and the SUDT2? which is better?

    VHT Slipping?

    I hope it doesn't have a bad pump. It only has 300 hrs on it. I change the fluid an filters regularly.

    VHT Slipping?

    I have a Kubota RTV 900 with a variable hydro transmission. It has about 300 hrs on it and all the fluids and filters have been changed regularly. I notice that when the RTV is run for a while and the RTV is in high it seems to be slipping a lot. When I first start it (cold)and take off the...

    That sounds like a great idea! Thanks for that info.

    4wd drag?

    I believe the tire size would be correct from the dealer but anything is possible. When I added air to the rear tires yesterday I tried coasting in 4WD with the clutch in and it worked much better than with the lower pressure. I think my problem was that I just did not have enough air in the...

    4wd drag?

    I just put more air in the rear tires then gave it a drive. That was definitely the problem. In 4WD it coast much more easily now when I push in the clutch.

    4wd drag?

    What are the benefits of adding ballast to the front? Would I just add water like I did the rear? If I add air to the rear tires and it raises them, will that reduce the drag and bring the ratio closer to ideal?

    4wd drag?

    I believe you hit it right on. I am using R4 tires. The rear is watered down and not the factory height so I can see now how that would be working the tractor against itself. I can live with the difference since I am mostly working in soft soil and such. I happen to notice it on hard ground and...

    4wd drag?

    It is factory new with 109 hrs. No other bind, it shifts in and out of 4WD easily.

    4wd drag?

    I usually keep it in High 1st gear when I run it in 4WD. When it is in 2WD and I push in the clutch the tractor rolls freely but when I am in 4WD and push in the clutch the tractor stops pretty abruptly.

    4wd drag?

    Hi I'm new to the forum and bought a new L4600 with regular stick transmission. When I put the tractor in 4WD it seems like the brakes are on when I push in the clutch and let it roll. I was just wondering if this is normal or is this excessive drag that should be looked at? I am burning A LOT...
