Mahindra HST Reverse Speed Mod?

[Pstrang]

I'm happy with my 2615 HST so far. But I don't like how the reverse is 1/2 the forward speed in the HST. There doesn't appear to be a stopping bolt to remove or grind down to increase the reverse speed.

Does anyone know of a way to modify the HST to increase reverse speed?

Thanks.

Most of my operating is done in mid-range which has adequate reverse speed. This includes mowing, grading, and loader work. I agree, when I use low range reverse is slow, but I expect it to be, and it doesn't bother me. If it does, I shift up to mid-range.

Humm, it isn't adequate for me. I'd like to go backwards just as fast as forwards.

Any ideas?

Trade up to a shuttle shift.

There's a reason it's slow, and that's to prevent a back flip.

Ouch.

On my 3215 there is a stop screw that I was able to adjust to allow the peddle to go down more and thus increase my speed. Take another closer look.

Ouch.

You can have my shuttle shift lever when you pry it from my cold, dead hand!!

HST belongs on MTD lawn mowers ;-)

You can keep your shuttle shift lever I already have 2!
HST is right where it needs to be on these small Mitsu's. Try operating that shuttle shift in a 40x400 chickenhouse for a few hours! That's an ouch.
