I have one at work, its a "TS" series, single cylinder, model, and it needs a new secondary clutch. The clutch won't freewheel at idle speed. I was just wondering if anybody has had the same issue with one of these. I've been told its a common problem.

I'm surprised the secondary lasted as long as did anyway. Right now, its at 925 hours of holeshots, hand-brake slides and donuts.

We've got about 200 running around the plant, granted we have Deere mechanics go over them every 100 hours or so... I'll ask the guys in the garage if they know anything...

I have used gators, mules and the new Kubota thing, and for the money Kubota seems to be the best
BUT
I used the gator the least
Drive a kawi Mule, and have put 16000 miles on it(when you think 16000 miles on a campus thats about 1/2 mile long its a lot of miles
And love the Kubota
Treat it like a motorcycle, try them all and decide what best suits your environment, everypalce is different, every job is different
