I've heard the biggest debate about the Predator are the transmission issues...well, that there are issues...I guess...

Don't shoot the messenger

Check on the main page, there is a very good discussion. I think all of these are having 2-3 shift problems, but from what I have read that on 65 HP setting the Predator has been pretty good.

The only problem is a hesitation at the 3-4 shift. It seems OK in haul mode. The power increase is incredible. Even the 65 hp performance economy mode is very strong. Fuel mileage is unchanged at 80 MPH. It starts easy on 20 deg mornings without smoke. I like it a lot.
