    ISO: Weed Sprayer (25 gallons) with Boom

    I would certainly e-mail Todd. He has been very responsive in the past.

    transmission oil brand

    I saw a difference in my RTV and my BX between Super UDT and other hydro oils. Both ran better with Super UDT.

    transmission oil brand

    You certainly can use hygaurd. It will not hurt the transmission, but since the viscosity is different than Super UDT you might see a small change in performance.</P> Super UDT has about he lowest viscosity numbers on the market and the Kubota HST's seem to be built for, and work best with...

    The speed control changed again!

    I would have like that too.... or a 6 forward/2 reverse and a clutch out of a B 7400. It would be cheaper to manufacture, in some ways less complicated to use and would make better use of the RTV's meager powerplant. </P> I wish someone would dyno an RTV. I would bet the transmission, as it is...

    turbo for rtv?

    Deep sand and deep snow are problems for me. </P> It is showing more and more power as it gets closer to 100 hours and broke-in better, and there was a major improvement when I switched to Super UDT and Mobil1 for the engine.</P> BUT...... a couple of month ago I got it high centered on a...

    turbo for rtv?

    I wish it was more of a tractor. I think it needs a 5 mph top speed in low gear, like the BX.</P> At least if it had a really low gear option you could maybe power your way out of more situations.</P>

    Owners Manual

    If you can't get to a dealer with a copy machine, I can walk you through the relevant parts.

    RTV Catching on Fire....Anyone else?

    The cardinal rule for trouble shooting is to go back to the last thing you changed. </P> In this case the muffler was replaced and a spark arrester was added, which resulted in a noticeable reduction in power and a fire.</P> I think the key elements are there.</P> DRankin</P>

    Muffler Rattle

    Hmmm..... maybe it's that add-on spark arrester screen. It is just held on with sheet metal screws.

    RTV flow rate

    How about this.....</P> A trencherman type rig but without the separate engine and hydraulic tank tosave mfg costs.</P> Tow it behind the RTV on a "two point mount" and hook it to the internal hydraulics. Have one set of hydraulic stabilizers for digging and and another set you could lower...

    RTV flow rate

    Same flow rate and pressure as a BX. I have noticed that the dump bed does not waste any time going to full extension.

    Guess what's sitting in my garage???

    The 26-12x12's are off the BX 2230/23.</P> Wow. What a footprint!</P> No touble with the power steering yanking those fatboys around?</P>

    Guess what's sitting in my garage???

    I have often thought the BX1500 rear tires would be a good fit on the RTV. The rims are 2 inches wider, it would be a very stable ride that's for sure! </P> There would be some rolling resistance to consider, but I suspect they would be no worse than the HDWS tires and would certainly be...

    Guess what's sitting in my garage???

    So what exactly happened? Did you just bury it and run out of power?</P> I assume you are running the ATV type tires that come with the Camo model?</P>
