Used our 900 xt today to take grain to the bulls and heifers. The xt is used everyday for this chore by my wife. She allows me to do this on the weekend. While in the pasture, I checked the voltage on the electric fence finding "zero" indicated volts. So I used the XT to haul me around the fence to locate the short. No short was found. Turned out that the ground wire was disconnected from the energizer. I guess a cat caused this to happen.
I also used the XT to pull some cedar post out of the ground. I'd seem a method of old where a chain is attached to the base of the post, a plank is leaned against the post and the chain is placed over the top of the plank. The base of the plank is placed about 1.5 feet away from the post in the sirection of the pull. Ole timers attached a mule or horse to the chain and promptly pulled the post out the ground. I used an old cedar post as the plank after cutting it to about 3 feet in length. I don't have a mule and the girls horses are not trained to pull, but believe me the RTV 900 will pull and yanked the post out without any problem. This method may just replace the front end loader method in the future.
Love the RTV!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
