I am sure someone here has ideas about what to do. Sorry, I am too lazy to search out the right thread. </P>


I hauled 3 loads of wood this afternoon (WOW!!! This is a great machine!!!!), anyway from getting in and out of the machine the floor had snow on it. It might has well have been ice. I nearly went right out the other side [:O] </P>


I had someone tell me to use the bed liner spray. What are you all doing or have you done to get traction on the floor boards.</P>


Thanks</P>
 
I know our mud is not as slick as your snow / ice >.>>>> But when it gets bad, just slow down on the entrance and exit of the cab, and hold on !!!!</P>


MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU !!!!!! [;)]</P>

There are floor sealers that contain "grip grit" in them. The problem for most is the floor needs to be extremely clean (concrete) for it it take good, and last. Larger stores will have it.

There are those here that have taken the rubber off the floor and sprayed bedliner on it, when they were having the bed done. I know some have done their pedals also, for they thought they were slippery. I have no idea if the bedliner surface is any less slippery than the rubber floor. Those that sprayed did so because they were concerned with water getting inbetween the rubber and the metal. </P>

Yes probably [:)] </P>


I have not heard anyone else complainabout the floor being slippery. Perhaps it is your footware?</P>


You could hook up something for a drag hook like like planes use when landing on carriers..[:D]</P>

I was wearing Sorel boots. I thought maybe someone had a easy quick fix. I will just be careful when hoping in.</P>


Thanks</P>

[^o)] Unsure right now. For the time being my butt will cover it [:D]</P>


I am going to take mama and go for a Sunday afternoon cruze. Be back soon!</P>
 
Mrs. Two Guns & myself , fixin to load ourselves up and head out to the farm to bust some deer out of the RTV ...... Machine is already loaded on trailer, all we have to do now is load ourselves and guns !!!!!</P>


That's half the fun of hunting now, going in the RTV !!!!!!!!</P>
 
I have coated my floors and bed with Dura-Bak. This is a productthat contains ground up tires, and is available in diffwerent colors. It can be put on with a roller and mistakes can be cleaned up with Xylene. I have used it in two pick-up truck beds and it is very durable. I ordered it on line from Cote L products. I cost about 100 dollars per gallon before shipping and cures completely in a couple of days. Bruce J.
 
I have slipped on mine as well. Just was in too big of a hurry and almost got my arm hung in the steering wheel as I went down. It was just mud as Two Guns had spoke of. I had on my plain old lil' burlys.with decent grips but zoom I went. Now when I accumulate mud, I grab a small cut down hoe and quickly scrape it out. I wonder about adding one of those nubby type welcome mats?I would like to see Kubota add a hand grip on the driver's side. This would help others anyway.Good Luck and be careful .

I use the 2-guns approach (slow down) but don't recall getting snow/ice build-up.

Boomer - Welcome to the forum!

Re. firewood, I too went out to get some a few days ago. It went poorly (chain and bar were shot) but the RTV ran perfectly (as usual). I found a new place for chainsaw chains and such. I couldn't find anyone that could touch their prices. www.hyperparts.com For a 20", 3/8" chain, $13.23
 
<FONT color=#0000ff>I hadn't thought about the hand grip on the driver side but now that you mention it that would be an excellent idea. Expecially for someone who does not get around as well.</FONT></P>


<FONT color=#0000ff>I haven't really had build up only a skim of snow that made the mat slippery. The floor mat may be a good idea as well.</FONT></P>

bczoom: Thank-you for the welcome. I have gained alot of good information about the RTV from this site. I will try to post a picture of the Dura-Bak coating that I used on my RTV. Bruce J.
 
We put a rectangular piece of tough, thick,carpet pad on the floor. When it gets dirty we just shake it or hose it off. I was amazed at how much more comfortable it was on the feet, too. Plus, it's warmer than the rubber mat in the winter...
