I have a complete set of each for my tractor. I don't know if it depends on the size of the tractor or the brand, but my actual experience is quite different. In mud and snow both I get such little additional traction with my R1's (which are loaded), that I haven't bothered putting the R1's on...

I wouldn't say "climb anything". I've made dozens embarrassed by taking them up on that challenge. I used to race motocross and run in semi-pro hill climbs. Trust me, no Mule ever made, or ever will be made, can climb the hills I have and practiced on. The idea, with a modified 100+ hp bike...

I did forget about changing my hydraulic filters at around 20 hours and again at 50 hours. I think I went with the SUDT at 50 hours and noticed an immediate difference in it being quieter. Spark arrestor? Never heard of one...:whistling:

I had similar problems, gees, I guess about 8 years ago. Wow, can't believe it was that long ago, but mine was an early '04 model. Not only did I notice what you describe, but mine got stuck in M so badly that I literally had to shut the engine off to get it out of gear. As previously...

I don't have my cheat sheets here in front of me, so I'll have to wait until I have them until I give any advice. The torque the 1100 has allowed me to climb steeper hills than the RTV900 ever would when it was just plain stock. Still, I had some steep hills it would climb no matter what you...

Wow, you must absolutely despise Kubota! Without feedback from owners the RTV would be MIA with stuck gear shift levers and defective front drive shafts. Without feedback from owners a product is destined for failure and will be doomed. You'll find on any forum that arrogant and disrespectful...

Yup, I agree. I use tri-mix for stainless. I do more stainless for marine and "around the pool" applications than aluminum. I have a spool gun to do aluminum with my MillerMatic 251 but my welds still suck after 10 years of using spool guns. I guess I just suck at welding aluminum without...

How many side by side units have you owned in the last 15 years? Again, I really don't intend to be rude, but to tell me that I failed to do my homework, it comes across as arrogant; especially when you clearly do not know me. Besides, let's do YOUR math. Buy an RTV for work then buy another...

Oh, interestingly enough, the RTV1100 is already plumbed from the factory (just plugged off at the block) for oil flow to and from a turbo. I do not know the application this engine is in where it is turbocharged, but I would think it comes from the factory with a turbo in some application...

If you're implying that I just need to learn to drive an RTV, I'll politely tell you that you have no idea what you're talking about. I've had an RTV probably longer than anyone here and I've had more factory reps out using my machine to try to work out the early bugs than probably any other...

Oh yeah, I installed it a few months ago after I spoke to a Kubota rep at a dealership and he assured me that the mild boost (5-7 psi) turbo wouldn't hurt the engine at all. I took my time on the install and, IMHO, it looks factory. I didn't know about the bigger RTV. Haven't heard anything...

I was somewhat displeased with my RTV1100 due to it's lack of power and being too slow to trail ride. I considered getting rid of it and getting a Polaris Ranger. Boy, am I ever glad I didn't. Basically for two reasons. All three guys I know who have Rangers continue to have nagging problems...

So you figure that I still have some time left on my Deere? I have a Deere that basically is a 2004 version of that same tractor with 700 hours on it. I've been using Amsoil HD Diesel/Marine since 200 hours. Oh, BTW, it sure has made things easier after I bought that white marking paint pen...

My close and usual places are charging $6.50 a bale. They can keep them at that price. I have to go further to pick it up at the farm, but I can still get bales for $3 at a couple of farms. Anyone else seeing gouging?

What! No pics?! Um, I sort of did the same thing and forgot pics. I used my mini excavator to trench through a soupy area where two different 4X4 backhoes got so stuck that they had to use a big dozer and a winch to get them out. I walked right over the areas with my 7 ton excavator and got...
