Look lets clear some things up,I bought this thing brand new not in a crate from a dealer in Jasper Indiana only because he was willing to deliver it and take a compact diesel tractor in on trade,not because it was the cheapest deal around. He delivered it to me fully assembled and all gone over. I have pushing $14,000 dollars invested in this thing,had the warn winch and mid mount Warn plow installed and the full hard enclosure and upgraded tires and wheels. At 51 yrs of age this was suppose to be the rest of my lifetime investment to plow my driveway,do yard work,and get me on and off the mountain in my backyard for hunting.
At almost 4 yrs old I am well aware it is no longer under any kind of warranty(never implied that it was) not looking for a free ride,just would like to know at such low mileage why a major component of the drive system would fail totally locking up the rear end at full throttle. It was one scary ride I am here to tell you, I could of been killed or seriously injured,thank god the dirt road had lots of snow and ice on it and I knew enough to steer thru the skid. Do not even want to think what would of happened if my grand children were behind the wheel at the time. You do not think it was that wild of a ride take your machine out on a dirt road and get it up to speed and then stand on your brakes,better hang on. Just looking for some answers and want people to understand what happened. If Kymco feels guilty etc. and wants to help with the $3000 dollar repair bill that would be great but that is not what I am after.
