    RTV 900 for sale or trade

    Did I know I'd get good advice here or not? Always have, probably always will. I stopped by the Kubota dealer today and wow, does that B7610 look good. It's a lot lower than the L3410 that I had. That would be very nice on these steep hills. Oh, and I saw my first 1100. Wow, that's a real...

    RTV 900 for sale or trade

    When we started building this house about 5 years ago, I bought a L3410 to do the landscaping, backfilling around the foundation and such. The reason we bought one instead of renting is our driveway is gravel, very steep and about a mile long. We had to have something to keep the snow off the...

    RTV Heater

    I installed my heater when I bought mine last spring. It's the standard heater made by Curtis that was being sold at that time. If you're handy with tools, it's easy to install yourself. It comes with pretty good destructions that show how it's done. What followsapplies only if they still offer...

    Heavy duty front springs

    Thanks for the offer, but I put the heater in the day after I picked up everything. I put the cab on the next day and the plow the next. Everything went well except the bolts they give you to replace the ones you take out of the brush guard were of a thread that was muchtoo coarse. I called the...

    Heavy duty front springs

    All the accesories came in yesterday afternoon and I picked them up today. I couldn't believe how heavy the snow blade and soft top was. When they put the soft top crate on my truck, it squated. The dealer also gave me the heavy duty struts. I miked the spring diameter on the old and the new and...

    Heavy duty front springs

    Howdy group. The last time I posted, it was in the "Prebuy info gathering" string. Well, I got my RTV today and I just don't have the words to express how neat this machine is. The dealer didn't have the soft top or any of the other options I purchased in stock, but he said they'd be in any...

    Prebuy info gathering

    Nevermind, I found out the information on the heater, it's water heat from the radiator. And the hydraulics are just for the swivel function of the snow blade, the basic blade comes with electric lift capabilities. So, I put in my order today:</P> Worksite model with 1. Soft cab 2. Snow blade...

    Prebuy info gathering

    Took the wife (Jan) down to the local Kubota dealer this morning for her first look at an RTV. She had not seen one in person, only on the computer. After climbing all over the one on the sales floor and looking at the ones in the yard, her only comment on the way home was "When are you going to...

    Prebuy info gathering

    I have an offer from a dealer that seems pretty good. The deal includes the overhead panel with the radio. Has anyone had experience with this setup? How's the radio? I like the idea of the switches for the lights that I'm going to add to the roof, front and rear. Thanks again. Rog

    HEY, What aftermarket stuff? What rims? Momma don't read this, I ain't no fool.</P> If there's one thing you've convinced me of, it's to forget the glove boxes, both of them. I was at the dealer again today and I took another gander under the "hood". I think I can fabricate one out of aluminum...

    Thanks Brian. Nothing like experience to guide the ignorant. Okay, I'll forget the glove boxes, request the ATV tires and take a very close look at the Ramsey. I hadn't considered the winch, but I can see that it would come in handy. Now I've just got to sell the tractor and we'll own one of...

    Prebuy info gathering

    I was in the local Kubota dealer today to pick up an oil filter for my L3410. While there I saw on the sales floor, the RTV900. I said, I wish you could put a snow plow on something like that. The salesmans eyes lit up and he said, "Of course you can". Since the only reason I have the tractor...
