I am looking to trade in my RTV 900 that is three years old. Does anyone know what the difference between a RTV900XT and a RTV900XTS? Does the S package cost less than setting up a general purpose with the same options?
Hi Oliver, Unfortunately, the key is in the same place and so is the horn button. It does have a 2 " receiver now though. That new oem cooler is in a bad place for sucking up anything close and it does NOT have a screen to help keep it clean like the radiator does. It can be a pain. I did add a hydraulic cooler to mine so I could use the hyd without overheating and it works great. I have a thread something like "cooler added" on here recently. The way the factory cooler is right there under the seat and near the fuel tank makes it hard to add a removeable screen but it sure needs one. I have one of the temperature guns I used when testing my hydraulic get up and it really helped just having the extra surface area for the fluid. It has never gotten hot enough with that for the fan to come on. I would think they will need to improve this oem cooler in the next model over mine because 1 it is a sitting duck for a stick. 2 . it fills with trash quickly and I am sure there is a number 3 but I will think of it tomorrow. Good Luck and I will try to post a few pictures tomorrow. bordercollieThank you. That's the stuff I need to know. Is there some way to know the temp of the transmission so you know if this new cooler is getting plugged. An idiot light or something? The reason I ask is that during soybean harvest there is a lot of fine dust or hair that is on the beans. After you harvest the combine chopper chops the bean residue real fine. When ever we drive the kubota much in the fields after harvest the radiator plugs up with fine dust. The temp goes up fast and I know to blow it out. Wonder if extra radiator would do the same? I have always thought that the aluminum in the radiator had a small charge to it that makes that dust stick so fine. Fills the fins up. Just wondering. I do pull the soybean head on the trailer behind the rtv now and it does great to move from field to field. Thank you for all the practical knowledge and experience. One thing that I hope they have changed is that the key is right where my knee hits it and I am afraid I will break it off someday when I get out of the seat. But now I am getting to picky!
I hear you on the key location! Mine has accounted for over half the hours on mine after being hit and moving to the on position while sitting in the shed. Killed the battery the one time.
It shows a catch of the tall dry grass I drove through this week. Just keep an eye on it.
