I just ordered the same 4 tires from RMATV. Unfortunately, these tires are on back-order until November 6th. However, I managed to find a $10 off coupon code for them. In case you want to save $10, enter this code "77809" during check-out.</p> NVBB</p>

I lost my right show 2 days after you posted your message. A call to the local dealer to see about getting a new one took too long, so I made my own. 3/16" steel plate, a piece of #3 rebar, lots of hammering and some welding, and it works just as well. I'm using cotter keys on all the pins that...

The RTV900 was an impulse purchase. Saw it, drove it, liked it and we bought it the same day. Therefore, we called it 'Imp'. Those 3 letters are now attached to the hood of 'Imp'. NVBB

I think I found out what was happening. It has to do with viscosity. Apparently, during my previous runs, the tranny was cold, thereby producing increased friction. This in turn brought the RPM down when the engine was placed under a heavy load. When I drove the RTV the last few days, the temp...

For the last 2 days now I have noticed that the RTV will not shift into high gear when the accelerator gets mashed to the floor board. Usually I have to ease off the pedal when I go up our secondary driveway. I've played with the pedal to see if I can feel a shift from high to low gear while...

I ordered the snow blade, the heavy duty struts, the hydraulic angle kit, and a windshield a week after New Years. All part had come in except for the windshield. I installed the blade, hoses, and the struts and played with the new attachments. One thing that I noticed is that if I wanted to...

When I had my fuel tank replaced, I got to keep the original fuel cap. I did notice that the cap is still a bear to screw off and on. True, it doesn't leak, but I hate to bust my knuckles every time I need to fill 'er up. Those with the new Diesel fuel caps, are you having to apply any force to...

I don't think I have ever pushed the limit on the hydraulic dump bed. I'll have to lay some sod this weekend and I'll use Imp to drive the sod from the pallets over to the fenced yard. The Bobcat can handle 1400lbs, but I can't drive it to where the lawn has to go. Next, I need to haul some...

Good news. After getting the fuel tank replaced by a Kubota dealer, there are no more leaks or fuel spills around the filler neck. While I was there waiting, I had one of the mechanics hook up the hydraulic dump bed. I had that done just in time for some dirt moving. I can load 2 Bobcat shovels...

With less than 12 days remaining on my 1 year factory warranty, I decided to make a trip to town and fix the drive line rattle issue and address the leaky fuel cap problem. The dealership managed to fix the drive line rattle on Imp (my RTV's name, short for Impulse buy), but the leaky fuel cap...

Hi bordercollie, I have a welder out in the shop so that's no problem. I'm trying to figure out a method of mounting it that will not hamper any functions on the RTV. I did manage to take it for a test drive this afternoon and used 2 hold-down clamps for a truck shell. Kept it from moving...

I received the sprayer and the boom this aftenoon. I have some questions, though. It appears that the manual (2 pages) keep referring to the sprayer as an ATV sprayer and it wants to mount the tank to the rear tube of the ATV. Confused, and almost done, I am now forced to stop because it doesn't...

Anonymous, I'd like to know where you obtained this information. Did this come directly from the shop manual (or from Kutoba) or are these your own results? I haven't been able to run WOT because I only have 23 hours on Imp. Once I change the oil and filters I'll be flooring it and see...

bczoom, thanks for the jpg. It printed just fine. I can see the needle move up the scale, but like you said, it does stay on the cool side. I'd rather see the needle fluctuate in the mid range, rather than spend most of the time on the bottom. I just wanted to confirm that the readings...

I've driven the RTV now for several days and for hours at a time at various speeds and the only time the engine coolant needle on the gauge seemed to move into the white area of the display was when I was crawling up a hill with the engine almost at idle speeds. It barely moved into the white...
