    winch for RTV 900

    I got the aftermoarket mounting plates to install the Warn 4.0 winch on my RTV.You for sure need the after market plates to mount it! Then it fits so neat inside the pocket with the fairlead actually recessed about .25” behind the leading edge of the grill guard. Protected and not in the way of...

    Blizzard snow plows verses kubota(curtis)

    Coobie; I used the Kubota (Curtis) slow last year here in Alaska. Installation and workman ship were great! (I installed it myself in one evening). WE used it around the hoiuse and at our apartment building clearing the large driveway, sidewalks and most of the public road (just for the fun of...

    Tire and wheel combo

    I agree with bczoom. I recently installed the 2" lift kit and 26" Maxxis Bighorns, which I think are great! I would be surprised if anything wider than 12" would clear on the rear, but seems like extra room is availible for a little wider than 10" on the front, but not 12". The 26" bighorns...

    Manufacturing date

    Is there a way to identify or tell the date of manufacture date for serial number 46108 (RTV900W) and if the servive bulletin relating to the front drive shaft rattle has been incorperated?

    Almost a new Owner, couple of questions for the group

    Thanks for the other lift kit post Brian. I'll follow it closly and appreciate your efforts. In Alaska, the ground conditions can and are everything you can imagine and most of it is wet. The 26's are 12" wide as apposed to the 25's at 10". I'll let you know and send pictures from the top of the...

    Almost a new Owner, couple of questions for the group

    Thanks for the info Brian; I'm leaning towards the 26" not for height, but need the extra inch in width. I think I'll go with the lift and the 26's, plus will do the angle measurements you suggest and repor back. Worst case, I'll have a slightly used lift kit to sell on e-bay.</P> Have a good...

    Almost a new Owner, couple of questions for the group

    Well;</P> My new Worksight RTV is ready for pickup. What an exciting day. It was held up waiting for the windshield. Anyway, I have been looking at new tires and know that many have installed the 2" lift kit to install larger tires. My concern is with the increased angle of the rear drive...

    Almost a new Owner, couple of questions for the group

    Thanks for the info Brian. Up hear, grass isn't much of a problem. Everything off road is wet, boggie or verticle. I have really been torn between the RTV and the Rhino, so I have put off buying until after 2 friends completed Rhino trials this last summer and hunting season. I'l pretty firm in...
