Decision Time: Kubota RTV. Need advice

bczoom said:
Sweet!

A couple things I see.

Although the seat covers look great, they do clash with the towel. I'd think one or the other has to go.

How did you mount the steps? It looks like you have a 2" receiver underneath. Is that bolted or welded to the RTV? I've thought about doing something similar but would want it mounted with a single bolt so when (not "if" for me) I clipped the step, it would swivel out of the way.

With the interior I was going for that Beach Boys meets Duck Dynasty look.

Re the steps... er I mean wings, you are right I fabricated some bolt in 2" receiver tubes so I can remove them when not in flight...

You could make them swivel with a little modification but they really only stick out about 2.5" past the widest part of the fuselage,...

Where did you get a picture of my dog :huh:
 
That is a great set up you have there Tenncowboy. :tiphat: . The step will be real handy and the seat cover will sure save that seat a lot of wear and such. An animal clawed on my vinyl the first few weeks I had it. :pat: collie

Sweet..., I'm beginning to really love this forum, I mean you get great advice WITH ATTITUDE. I was unaware that the 900 is for work and the 1100 is for trips to the beauty parlor... See, there's so much to learn from you all.

Well,
we made our way to Arkansas to pick up the new 'bota. I am going to try to post some pictures. I fabricated some steps to make it easier for my wife to access. I had a stainless stair tread left over from a project so I cut it in half and welded some 2" square tubing to it to fit into a 2" receiver tube at each side. I bolted them to a channel on the frame. I can post pictures if anyone is interested. Seat covers come in today!
Thanks for all the help ,

Okay, thought I'd post some picture of the seat covers and the steps I fabricated. So far they are working out great; the one for the Kawasaki fit perfect. Thanks to all for the advice.

I have noticed that the passenger door leaks a little in the rain at the top, also the back window on the same side; not a lot but still.....Anyone else had that issue? I will be dragging her to the dealer for them to look at.

Covers look good and I do like your steps. Darn good idea for those of us that don't get along as good as we use to.
