We run Hondas. 3 Pioneer 1000's and 2 Rincon 4 wheelers. Transmissions are spectacular. No major problems and we have an AWESOME dealer 40 miles away(close for us).
How disgusting! If you ever get shot at by one of those idiots just stand still, they'll never hit you! Anybody could have herded those cattle anywhere they wanted to.
I have found that if you release their head first and then the squeeze they are much more likely to move forward instead of backwards. Not 100% but it does improve your odds a lot. (Does not apply to self catch.)
