I bought a 1997 Kubota B2100 last fall from our local dealer. They had taken it in on a trade with 1000 hrs on it from a landscaping company. The dealer said they had 'rebuilt' the front end. This tractor has the Bi-Speed Turn option on it. But I have found that the FWD will slip in the snow when I have the front wheels turned off sharp (real annoying when using the bucket to clear my drive). I think this option utilizes some sort of clutch to increase the speed on the front wheels, but it acts like the 'clutch' is slipping. On dry ground the option really pulls the front end around quickly, but I am willing to give this up for a front wheel assist that I know I can count on. Any advice ?????

My B1750 has worked this way since it was new -- if you turn too sharply in either direction, the 4WD disengages. It's one of very few things I find annoying about the tractor, but I've gotten used to it over the years. ....
