    Side rails X1100 disappointed

    That's one of many tanks Kanook. That leg tank fits like a glove in the kubota and I can't wait till see how it handles it . I'm gonna take rack that fits into the receiver hitch and re work the mount so it will be higher off the ground and strap down the gas pump that I use to pump out...

    Side rails X1100 disappointed

    Nope, I told the Chief Financial Officer ( aka wife) that it was a plow or we were gonna go to HD and buy 2 shovels , one for each of her hands!

    Side rails X1100 disappointed

    Thanks for posting those pics. I should have done it been I've been extremely busy cutting wood for maple season. I did try something , I removed those clips and installed my homemade bed standards with side boards and a 8" board for the rail under the screen. The bed will lift just fine but...

    Side rails X1100 disappointed

    I've seen the sticky on side rails and really liked the idea. So last week when I picked up my new 2104 x1100 I had the back window screen included as part of the deal. My plan was to use 1" tubing and run boards on the 2 sides as others have done with the window screen . Wrong! I don't know...

    Installing Boss plow on RTV 1100

    I'm currently installing a Boss V plow on my new X1100 . I installed the solenoid on the drivers side to the left of the windshield washer jug. I figured the battery is on the same side so hopefully it would be easier. Need help tho , where or how do you run the power cable and the...

    New owner of a RTV 1100 C

    Well I went and did it, my new 1100 will be delivered next week. This forum convinced me it will do the work I need it to do! Should I get the atv or worksite tires? I have my choice of either but I will need an atv tire for hauling sap obviously but I wonder if aftermarket atv tires are...

    Bc, do you know for sure it's a 200# weight limit on the front receiver? My rack is aluminum and tank is plastic so not much weight . I also see towing capacity is 1300lbs. I bet many on here have towed more than that. My old Polaris sportsman was rated around 800 lbs I think and I used it...

    New owner of a RTV 1100 C

    I have a few of those cage tanks for the pickups but I have a nice " leg tank" for the Kubota . It has a lower center of gravity and is lighter . I also have a 2" receiver rack that you see on back of vehicles carrying stuff. If the height is ok I could put a 50 gallon flat tank on the front...

    All good points! Unfortunately for my maple syrup business I live in "flat land." Having some hills and I would be like a kid at Christmas, much easier gathering sap thru tubing and using gravity to help. Trailers would be a pain driving on farm lanes in the spring with the mud. I don't...

    Thanks kannok, I asked a few dealers about the payload capacity (1629 lbs) vs cargo bed load ( 1102 lbs) . Haven't heard a sraight foward answer yet as to what the difference is. Basically Ive been told, " you can really load it".

    Hey all, I'm new as well but been lurking for months. Congrats on the new machine dbj. I'm real close to buying a 2014 1100C as well. Dealer has the price down to 17% off list with the 4 year interest free. I think that's a good deal and I better bite! One question, how much weight...
