    Hydraulic dump bed being installed.

    Now that I am dumping my bed more often, does anybody have any tricks as to how to keep my piece of stable mat that I use as a bed protector from sliding out? I know the obvious is to drill a couple of holes in the bed and use a couple of bolts. Just hate to put holes in a perfectly good bed.

    Hydraulic dump bed being installed.

    Picked up the RTV yesterday. The new hydraulic dump is really fast. I can put it up and down twice before the Kawasaki Mule dumps once.

    Hydraulic dump bed being installed.

    I have use of a Kawasaki Mule also. It has the electric dump but seems pretty wimpy, and very slow. I've always been leary about putting too much weight in it. It's fine for leaves, branches, feathers. Can't wait to do some serious hauling with the RTV.

    Hydraulic dump bed being installed.

    I finally bit the bullet and dropped off my 05 RTV900 to have a hydraulic dump installed. Almost $2,000, ouch. Probably cheaper than a hernia operation though.

    my new window

    Looks like if you did happen to break this one you could get a replacement piece from a glass shop at a reasonable price.

    Better than the $800 Kubota price, look a lot better too.

    Hydrolyc Cylynder shock

    He may not have one. I have an 05 and it doesn't have the dump cylinder. I'd like to get one but if you buy the parts and have the dealership install it, you're looking at about $2,000!

    2wd RTV 900 conversion

    I'm impressed these things are still in service after 6000 hours of abuse. It's probably not worth it but the new style drive shaft with it's beefier design would probably never need to be replaced on these units. It's about a $700 fix. It would also get rid of the carrier bearing that the...

    Happy Girls

    We have three "girls," a chocolate lab, a goldendoodle, and a Jack Russell. The Jack is in the house most of the time while the others have their room at the end of the garage. Everything is cool when I take the RTV or golf cart for a spin and the Jack is in the house. The lab and the golden...

    Muffler shock

    It has the famed internal spark arrestor! The other difference between my old muffler and the new one is the tailpipe is a separate piece that bolts on to the muffler. The old muffler had the tailpipe welded to the muffler. In fact this is where my old one failed. The weld broke at the base...

    Muffler shock

    I'm sure a replacement muffler could be fabricated, but unfortunately I never learned to weld. The threaded bracket that holds one end of the muffler could be salvaged from your old muffler and the flanged end that fits on the manifold could be made. What really got me was the fact the muffler...

    RTV junkyard

    Good idea. I was looking on line a while back to try to find one for salvage, with no luck.

    Muffler shock

    Mine's camo. I almost forgot, I already did the $700 drive shaft replacement. The original with the carrier bearing looked like it came off a child's pedal car.

    Muffler shock

    I know what you're saying. I bought this used and it seems to be in good shape. I would like to add a glass winshield and a hydraulic bed lift. I just don't want to put an additional $2200 into it. The Kawasaki Mules are starting to look awfully nice.

    Muffler shock

    I'm sure a muffler shop could come up with something cheaper, and probably better. My old muffler was still sound but the tailpipe fell off, weld failed. This new muffler has a bolt on tailpipe. I miss the days when you could throw on a cherry bomb muffler and you were good to go...

    Muffler shock

    Just bought a new muffler "kit" for my 05 900. Of course the kit doesn't include the gasket! Total damages: $427!!
