    Snow plow

    I just have the adjustable Boss skid shoes on mine. I don't dig up any gravel but they do leave three imprints in the surface. I got an email from Boss and they have some new thing to prevent digging up gravel, I forget what it was, but when I looked at the price I was like NO THANKS!!! LOL

    starting the kubota 1100 in cold weather

    My 1100 is in an unheated barn and it will start no problem at minus 13*F with 4 to 5 seconds of glow plug without the block heater plugged in. When it gets colder than that (gets to minus 40 here) I have it plugged in. I'm running 5W40 synthetic in the engine. Then I let it warm up for a...

    RTV Daily uses, What did you do today with your RTV?

    That's how it goes. Only takes a couple idiots to ruin it for everyone. Around here they are finally loosening up the rules for 2 wheel dirt bikes and atv's, but now you get those few that gotta go wide open down the road, throttle pinned with open race exhausts on them. Then cry because the...

    RTV Daily uses, What did you do today with your RTV?

    Right on. Better than a day at work! Where I live the police don't bother us. I don't have a plate or even wear a helmet. I just have to have an SMV triangle, which I have on the back of the driver side headrest.

    Gray Steel Wheels and Other Parts Available

    Wish I was closer. I keep telling myself with all the long distance trail riding I do by myself I really should carry a spare or two.

    VW Water Pump

    I liked my VW's. Those were only two I ever bought because my old Ford dealer P'd me off. They drive and handle nice and had good power for a tiny motor, but I liken them to the newer Polaris atv's....great rides but built with crap components. And what is it with those 2.0L turbos plugging the...

    VW Water Pump

    I have no idea? Or it's just this new generation of I don't care and no accountability.

    VW Water Pump

    This was Northside VW in Sault Ste. Marie. Google it and you should see a Google review I did a few years ago with pics of the hole they put through the floor of my new Jetta with the hoist....then tried to say "you wife must have ran something over." And when I contacted VW and had pics of all...

    VW Water Pump

    In the Tiguan it is under the intake also but facing front of car. If I didn't have to leave town I guarantee I could have done it in way less than 7.5 hours plus 2.5 "diagnosing" coolant pouring out of it. The 2.5 hours I paid them to "diagnose" would have paid for a new water pump to go along...

    You buy the cheap VW but then you get the Audi/Porsche parts prices.

    VW Water Pump

    Wife got the Tiguan back today. $2500 to replace the plastic thermostat housing and 7.5 hours labor for a very simple job. They didn't even change the plastic water pump for that!! Now ask me why I will never again buy some foreign nazi mobile. There will never be anything but Ford and GM in my...

    VW Water Pump

    Well, I see now why I buy Ford's again. $2000 for water pump and labor and they still are charging me another $294 plus 13% tax on top of that for diagnostics because, well you know, they had to make sure the water pump that was pouring coolant out of it was bad. Then he says "we notice there...

    Snow plow

    Well since we're on subject of Boss plows, I decided to go ahead and put mine on today. I'd rather take it back off on a nice day to go trail riding, than to put it on when I wake up and it's minus 40. LOL I included a couple old pics to show what everyone is talking about when they say you can...

    VW Water Pump

    Oh, visibility is great, way better than the Ford Escape and the new Explorers. But they have redesigned the VW suv's and they are bigger now, so not sure how they are now.

    VW Water Pump

    Well mine is old. It's a 2010 but it's a very nice High Line. I bought it and a new Jetta in 2013 when my two local Ford dealers both P'd me off. Both were very nice to drive. LOTS of power for a little 2.0 litre and they both handled awesome. They would likely both blow the doors off the old...

    VW Water Pump

    How this for ironic? The other day I got a spam email to join a class action lawsuit against VW over cracking plastic water pumps. I deleted it right away because I haven't had a failure yet on this Tiguan and these suits are usually BS anyway. Well, the very next day guess what just failed? LOL

    RTV Daily uses, What did you do today with your RTV?

    Didn't do anything other than vacuumed and cleaned the interior. Maybe wash it tomorrow. But seeing as how the Kubota's have been feeling left out because I've only been using the Ford and Allis lately, figured I'd get some fall color pics with the Kubota's this time.

    Upgrade from X1120 to X1100C - Anyone Do This?

    I do want to get to Farm Progress show sometime. You can ride your RTV around the whole event area to see the show. I was going to go this summer, but there was two antique tractor parades I've been waiting to drive in so I went to those instead.

    Upgrade from X1120 to X1100C - Anyone Do This?

    Well if we ever do let me know. I'd have to book holidays, but Indiana/Illinois are within 7 hours or so from me. A year or two ago I contacted Kubota Canada.....NOT ASKING FOR ANYTHING, but saidd I was willing to put on a big trail ride for RTV owners, so we can ride and not have to go 65 MPH...
