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

[Doc]

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?

LOL No, never to Athens. Most I go is to the state park down the road and the gas station a couple miles away. Most of miles have been on my property, back and forth to the river. And, note that it already had 720 miles on it when I got it last Dec. So ....I've only put on 280 of those miles. That puts it more in perspective.

We did some camping with Bota Fett on my brothers farm. He had a whole bunch of eastern white pines come down during the last storm we had. As you guys already know those trees are horrible and messy. The wood is mostly useless, so we're just going to cut it up and split it for camp firewood.
It was real nice having the dump function. We must have made about 11 loads to the wood pile. We had a really good time. Great day, weather, food and company. It hardly felt like work at all.

Nice. Looks like you had good weather. Is it cooling down yet where you are?

What's that orange square on the rear plate of your RTV?

Yeah the weather was great that weekend, Low 50's at night and mid 60's during the day.
That orange square is a magnetic battery operated light that flashes, strobes, or constant on. We just stuck it on there for a bit of extra visibility at night.Like this one!

 

[Doc]

That light looks very handy. How long do the batteries last?

 

[ItBmine]

Oh, OK.....I have four of those magnetic LED strobe lights too from when I used to do float moves with my big truck. I've never had to change the batteries in mine yet Doc and I've had them since 2008. That's why I figured no point getting the beacon light for my RTV for plowing.....I can just stick those on all four sides of the cab.

 

[Bota Fett]

Yeah it's funny you say that. Those are still original batteries. Going on 2 years now. And I don"t know how long my brother had it, before he 'donated' it to me!

First snow! Heavy wet crap and my new rig ate it up.

 

[ItBmine]

Hey awesome Touras. So you are happy with it? That's a good size driveway too.

Nice job Touras. How does it handle the plow? I love that 520, having a real HST is another plus in my book.

 

[touras]

Love the plow, works great! Everything is built rock solid which you'd expect from Kubota.

I had a different experience today. Posted in my thread here

First Plow With RTV1100

Finally got to try it out. Only got this pic, as I had to drive it when plowing, LOL Impressions: Heater will melt you in cab. Not a lot of snow yet, but it rained and froze first, so driveway is glare ice on the gravel. You couldn't walk on it. Then got a layer of wet snow that froze. Then it...

I hope that’s not actually Coors in that cup.… that looks like BOURBON weather.

Luckily we don't have any weather that doesn't go with Bourbon in Michigan!

Crown Royal rye whisky lads! Coors Light isn't allowed anywhere near my place

 

[Ohio_Pawpaw_Grower]

Whats wrong with Coors light? You have to have something with breakfast!

 

[ItBmine]

Gibson's Finest for me! And it's perfect for breakfast too....in your coffee.

 

[touras]

Amen brother.

As Monty Python said, Coors Light is like making love in a canoe
