I was out plowing this morning and when I went to go fuel up I found I could not open my door. I had to climbed out the passenger door. The thumb latch on the door worked fine, but the inner latch had become unconnected. I gave up plowing to work on this and indeed found the rod the connects...

My three-year old X1100C with 6,500 miles (800 hours) developed a crease tear at about 4,000 miles (my X900 did the same thing). I tried to make a repair using Permatex Vinyl Repair Kit, but that was only marginally successful. I finally decided to try Besezx Leather Repair Tape and after a...

There is an older thread about Beamtech’s 880 LED lamps but the link no longer works and I’ve not found a source with the same spec’s. Has anyone had recent luck sourcing a good headlamp replacement? I did try a set (can’t remember details) that worked but we’re not as good as the original...

I was just blowing out the tiny joint between the head wall and bottom of my RTV X1100C dump body and realized that in just two years quite a bit of material has accumulated in the rail under the joint between the head wall and the floor of the dump body. With the dump body up I blew compressed...

I have occasionally driven off with the parking brake partially engaged, and although I have realized it not too soon after, it is easy to do - especially if the brake is not pulled really tight. To help prevent this I installed a noncontinuous beeper. It does work and although a bit of an...

The crank windows on my 2022 X1100C - especially the driver's side - have been difficult to crank down and especially up. Well, I finally decided to pull the panel off the door to see what the problem was. I didn't see any way to adjust the mechanism and the metal track seemed well greased. I...

In case you haven't yet seen this review and are interested in learning about the new RTV-X :

There are a number of threads in which mirrors have been discussed, however this comment is a bit different so I made it a separate comment. I ordered the Kubota side mirrors when I ordered my X1100C. I took delivery in December of 2021. I do like them - but I agree the passenger side mirror...

I found this video and enjoyed it. Thought I would share with anyone interested in winter fun with their RTV.

The stock wiper is certainly adequate, but I would like to convert it to one that has some intermittent functions. This is especially helpful with light snow or after a snow storm when snow drips from the trees. Has anyone made such a conversion? Back in the 60’s I purchased such a kit from...

I have the factory Jensen HD radio and the problem I have is that it quite frequently clears all the stations I have programmed in. It does not lose the time, nor is there a problem with loose connections. It happens after about 7 starts when the radio is left on. There is no interruption in...

Mud season is approaching so I have been working on adding mud flaps to my new X1100C. I made rear flaps the same way I did for my old X900 - cut 3/16 rubber matting to shape and pop riveted to the fenders. I had them on my X900 for 7 years and they were as good as new when I sold it. These...

I just performed the required 50 hour filter change on the hydraulic system and transmission of my new machine. As I experienced before with my X900 the hydraulic filter (suction) on my X1100C was incredibly tight. It took all my strength and patience to get it loose! It was very tight until...

I only have 32 hours on my 1100C but I am really impressed with the much easier shifting on this machine compared to my 2014 X900 when it was new. When not plowing 90% of the time I can shift easily - most times without even pressing on the brake! When plowing there is still the problem of...

I love the simplicity of the tailgate latch system on the RTV's - It would be nice to have one latch to work rather than two - but the simplicity of the present system is nice in that it won't break or fail over time. BUT, on my new machine there is a slight rattle when it is closed. The slot...

I have over a mile of dirt road to keep open, and while plowing is easy, it is the ice coatings we get from time to time that is much more of a problem. I don't maintain a large supply of sand under cover or salted so I have to sand the road by hand - having a sander come in costs over $100...

On my new RTV X1100C I had the dealer install a Boss UTV Power V-XT plow. I had one on my previous X900 and loved it. The new RTV has a beefed-up bumper and I like the improvements - on my X900 the bumper snapped on two spots so the new configuration is superior. However, the additional...

I have noticed a loss of uphill power with my X900 and it is not related to fuel filter, pump, etc. I have 9,000 miles on the machine. I installed a hand throttle which helps when plowing. I am very familiar with how to "down shift" with the hydrostatic transmission by easing off on the pedal...

At the end of last winter (my third with my X900 and Boss V-Plow) I heard a large snap and got out to find that one side of my bumper had broken. I am a conservative plower and I had not been doing anything unusual. When my machine got taken in for two recall notices I just mentioned the...

After three seasons of plowing the bumper snapped while plowing. I have a Boss V-plow and I guess the weight of it plus the forces of plowing have been too much for the thin tubing at the base of the bumper. I am disappointed that Kubota made the bumper with such thin-walled tubing. Even...
