    Ultima ZT2 surging

    Well pardner, you seem like a smart enough dude to realize the folks "fixing mowers, cars, M Cycles, etc, today ain't even in the same class as the ones of yester year.

    Help Diagnosing Issue

    I have not been impressed by the Twin 25 hp "K" engine at all after 4 years. The 25 hp "Briggs" on my 12 year old "Snapper" knock-off is superior across the small engine paradigm. Also, the easily maintainable "S" Hydro trans has proved to be superior as compared to the impossible to maintain...
