    RTV 500 WILL NOT MOVE

    Quite plausible. My four (grown) kids are responsible for most of the repairs I've made on equipment and home. Haha

    RTV 500 WILL NOT MOVE

    Do you think it broke because something in the hydro locked up or metal fatigue in the shaft?

    RTV Daily uses, What did you do today with your RTV?

    Good grief Doc...you driving to Athens a couple times a week? Haha I guess an all weather cab means a lot more good days to ride, right?

    RTV Daily uses, What did you do today with your RTV?

    That should have read four tires. I will rotate them on general principal in the spring as part of normal maintenance. I am not a fan of snakes so seeing the skin is close enough for me.

    RTV Daily uses, What did you do today with your RTV?

    Used the 1120D and the DR tow behind to cut the field around our orchards and some trails. Lots more to do. I noticed that neither has used a drop of oil all summer despite moderate use this summer. No antifreeze smell on the RTV so I guess I sealed up the clamp that was leaking. Topped off the...

    Always Hot Battery Power Lead

    Unless there is a substantial moon, our farm is darker than 10 feet down a well at night. Many times I've tried to find the keyhole or the glovebox knob in the dark and had to pull out my phone - if I had it - to make with the flashy light. So some time ago, I bought a Kubota dome light. I...

    2008 RTV900 leg room vs. what?

    Hey Collie - would a Roxor be a better physical fit for this gentleman? Well, I assume he is a gentleman.

    Here's a "Talk About Anything" - II

    I helped out a neighbor who had to unload a few items to generate some short term cash flow, including a compressor. As it goes sometimes, the compressor doesn't work real well. Its target pressure is 125psi and it makes it to 80psi and while the motor runs, it won't generate more pressure. I...

    If it was a program about men in drag or trannys, you can bet they wouldn't have blocked it.

    Stock wheels to aluminum.

    I am fairly certain the lug nuts and studs are different between chrome and steel as well as the center caps. Steel wheels have a rubber pressed in cap where the aluminum rim cap is cap screw attached to the rim.

    Stock wheels to aluminum.

    My RTV came with aluminum rims. I never worried about strength but was concerned about Ohio red clay.mud getting caked on them. As soon as I had the opportunity, I purchased a set of factory steel rims from another member. Then I bought some 10 ply Blackwater Evolutions tires on strong...

    Thoughts on the XG850

    It would be my luck that a pulley puller would snap the wheel or something like that. Then its my problem. That acceleration issue could be something as simple as air/fuel mixture, if it has a carb. You paid good money for it and deserve to have a great experience. Good luck.

    Thoughts on the XG850

    Humble opinion...the honeymoon between the dealer and the customer only lasts a little while. If feasible, I'd take back to the dealer and tell him you would like both issues fixed. They tend to be somewhat less responsive after six months of ownership.

    Outstanding Collie. Our supplier raised the price for 1/2 side to 2.50 a lb from 2.00. These are grain fed animals so I am not sure if this is inline with the rest of the country. He stated the increase was due to feed price increases. We are in Ohio.

    Battery light stays on.

    Sounds like the alternator is overcharging and has shorted one or more plates in the battery. If memory serves, the alternator should put out around 14.5vdc just off idle.....maybe 1500rpm. If it is putting out 17vdc, sounds like the regulator is shot. I'd have the alternator tested. You may...

    X1100C front mower with K Connect

    I used to cut our field with a Ford 9n and bush hog but switched to the RTV and a DR tow behind field/brush mower. It is much easier on my old back and neck and does a real nice job. The only bad part is that it's like a trying to drive a tractor/trailer through the field and woods. You have to...
