Yea I’ve been there many times. I find it’s usually when I assume something :).

I have a taida 28.5/24 head and 61mm jug that’s going to be going on it. I talk about it briefly in the video. Colonel Mustard on my channel has an A13 in it.

Let us know if you have to bore the block I went with the 155cc kit didn't want to bore it

Will do. It’s my understanding these motors will be fine with either the taida, ssp or ncy 61mm drop in bbks. I went taida because they offered bigger valves and a domed piston. My concern right now is that I’m hearing these motors have a longer stroke. I’m not sure if I’ll have clearance issues with the domed piston.

I've learned that the dealer is one of the most important decisions you can make. The dealer should reach out to Kubota for you. The area Kubota reps have funds they have been allocated to help customers with during certain situations. I called multiple dealers and finally found two that were willing to help. One was out of state which was a different area. The other was able to help me get the starter covered. They had to put a request in with Kubota and it was approved.

Thanks, appreciate that! Keep an eye on the used market and look for a platinum that’s been sitting. Usually you find them cheaper with carb issues. You’ll want a 26mm carb anyways. It’s an easy swap and will save you some money.

@@farmfixesandfun I’d love to get a used one for cheaper, as long as the engine was maintained properly, that’s my biggest concern. As far as I can tell, if buying new, it has to come already assembled from some kind of dealer, which costs extra on top of the msrp + tax + whatever other fees they tack on. No way to buy the kart in the crate, and do the final assembly yourself like I’ve done with the cheap Chinese buggies in the past. Getting a used ASW Carbide would be pretty cool too. What’s your opinion on the Trailmaster xrx 200? All these karts look 95% the same, even the same frame design and welds, especially on the rear swingarm, but it seems that the hammerhead may have a higher quality gy6, maybe higher quality metal for the frame, etc? I do like the fact that hammerhead added an oil cooler and filter for their engines. Cheers!

@@Vlad_Portnov are you planning to mess with the engine at all? I like the Hammerheads better than the Trailmasters. Parts are easy to find and I find the fit and finish better. The Kandi I have can be a pain to find parts for. In my fleet, the Hammerheads are more nimble and peppy where the Kandi is better offroad.

Eventually I’d like to buy the nicer cylinder head like you showed and the upgraded piston I’ve seen on hammerhead performance. Probably not the 170cc upgrade though, so I don’t have to mess with boring the crankcase. I’ve had the same issues on getting parts for the cheap x-pros we have. We’re in a neighborhood so it’ll be driven on roads for the most part, at least for now. I’ll likely get some sunf road tires and a second set of rims to start. Then, the intake and exhaust upgrade from hammerhead that you installed.

@@farmfixesandfun Thank you

It’s cammed and has dr pulley clutch kit. If you check out the drag racing video it details all the mods. I’m going to be slapping a high compression bbk kit on it shortly.

@@farmfixesandfun awesome! I'm going to check it out

At this point ours has had the headgasket gasket and starter replaced along with regular maintenance. All were under around 100 hours but outside of warranty as we don’t use that often. We have had a weird stumble which we found there is a psb for an ecu replacement. I’m learning dealer choice is as important as brand choice. Our dealer should have been on the ball with all of these issues. I’m looking at another 600 for the ecu to fix the stumble.
