What didnt you like about it?

I had a buddy with the same machine and walked on me like he had another gear. I put new primary and secondary on it because they were shot, still no change, over heated a fair bit, fan wouldn't always kick in. bearings and seals went in the front, no big deal. front drive didn't always work or sometimes just one side would. Turned over really well but wouldn't start, put booster pack on and it would fire right up, but once it was running (warm) it would start just fine.

Its an 850. Very nice jam to get me out of the peanut butter.

The 700's are good machines, they got more top end pull than the 800's, the 800's have more bottom end grunt. I think they peak at 53HP.

We have 2 of them, and the yellow one will walk all over the blue one. Even though the yellow one must have a wire frayed, or fuse blown since it is always in 4x4 no matter what. Only complaint we have.
