    I had one briefly but didnt keep it long enough to really test it, it was a hydra-shift model and when the transmittion oil warmed up it took ages to move up through the gears, worked fine when cold, it was sold in good faith the dealer didnt know about the problem and repair was beyond him, so he took it back.

    think they are rated something 80-85 Hp ??
