Blower works good. I probably use the blower and the broom the most. The broom for the 1” snow / sleet / slush. The blower for everything else. The blower does ok in wet snow, but not slush, no blower really does. I may put the plow on once or twice a winter when we get that 2-3” of...

Been there so many times. My 1100 shifts far better than the new x1100c. If they won’t do a rocker pedal for the love....give us a forward pedal and a reverse pedal. I don’t know why its so hard. I bet if you let the engineers run this thing for 12 hours with a snow plow or blower on the...

Its been three years now and it still works great. There is one thing that I need to mention. When these setups are installed there is a drive shaft assembly underneath that has a gear box and seal. From what I have been told, the alignment on these has to be perfect when the installation...

I second that. I have an 1100 and the new x1100c. That stupid parking brake lever and light in the x is stupid as anything. Do you know how many times i’ve taken off only to realize the brake is still on? They definitely didn’t think through this very good.

Here’s the video of it....

I’ve had this thing now for about 2 winters and it’s great. As a matter of fact you can even clean the pond off with it so the kids can ice skate. The rotary broom is really slick.

The PTO comes from on the machine. It's a mid PTO. It's exclusive on the X1100. I have an older 1100 and it can't be put on there. From what I understand its quite the install just to put this system on the new X1100's. The dealer had a few days in it. You can take the system off the...

Blower Test We received over a foot of snow today, and I ran that snowblower pretty hard. We had some sleet mixed in with it so the snow got heavy. At the end of the day it worked really well. The down pressure is a huge plus for cleaning compacted surfaces. I mean its not a 90 hp, 84"...

That's slick. That's how I have my 1100 with my boss v plow. The broom is really good for those annoying 1" ice storms, mud on the driveway, bad wind storms where you want to sweep debris offf the driveway, etc. We are supposed to get 6-10" tonight which will put the blower to the first big...

I don't think so because you need your right had to shift. You can unpin the controller and hold it in your left or right hand pretty easily if you want too.

It's gone right through anything so far. We haven't had the major storm yet but its dug through 6" with no problem at all.

I had the opportunity to run the blower on it for the first time this weekend. Really slick. Plenty of hp to throw it about 30 feet no problem. I blew about 3-4" and just about as fast as you wanted to move it sucked it up and blew it out. The engine never bogged down. The really nice...

My RTV1100 came with the Curtis plow on it as a package deal new. So I didn't know any better. It worked ok for the first year, but after reading a lot of online posts about Boss I knew the time had come for an upgrade. It's not a "throw it in the trash plow" it just has a lot of quirks...

Well here's a few things about the Curtis plow: 1. The moldboard isn't that high, so any storm more than 4" and it starts coming over the top. 2. The electric lift motor is very slow. 3. You have to use the dump lever to angle it, so you're reaching back there with your left hand all the time...

I bought mine from centralparts.com. Bought a lot of plows from them. Shipped it in a crate. Takes about 2 hours to put together and hook up but no one could touch their prices. They are expensive but that seems a little much. You and a friend can put it together fairly quick...
