I bought a 3186 hydro demo model last year.
I like the way it mows and it runs well.
I do not like the speed it goes in reverse.
I traded in a 682 hydro and it whent a lot faster.
Is there a fix for this?
Maybe a different val. for the hydro trans.?
Thanks

Welcome to a lawsuit-loving society friend.

I bought myself a new Kubota 4310 HSTC this spring and discovered the same thing, it only goes backwards at a little under 80% of the forward speed compared to a shuttle shift transmission which merely reverses the direction of the forward gear and so doesn't affect travel speed, just direction.

The Kuboata dealer (a good friend of mine) told me that the the future models will have even less reverse speed and very likely a lot less forward speed. A factory rep. told him that future 'hobby' tractors will have a top speed of only 8 mph in the near future. They feel that if they keep the speed down, less people will get hurt, resulting in fewer lawsuits.

Maybe they should just have potential buyers take an IQ test before determing what they are ALLOWED to buy and leave the rest of us alone.

Best of luck. ....
