    X series straight shifter upgrade kit

    Now that I put the blower on my RTV I found out I can't use my timing and blip the throttle technique because you now have the hand throttle at wide open throttle. But I learned now that when I get to end of my pass, if I change gears at same moment I lift the blower that works to unbind it too.

    RTV Snowblower

    I finally got to use it and found out why wife loves it so much! This thing is awesome! And no shortage of power. It works so good I'm actually going to take the blower off the tractor and put my hydraulic rear blade on it instead now so I can cut and scrape the base once in a while. I'm...

    So what’s the deal with the RTV recall?

    I'm in Canada and haven't gotten any notices for my 2021. Maybe just the new ones affected? Only recalls I ever got was to add some reflector stickers and to cut the floor mat around the throttle pedal, which I did not do because my mat is fine and not curling.

    Here's a "Talk About Anything" - II

    Yes, bad grounds do strange things. Back in 2000 I had a new Mack CH and it would constantly get the lightning bolt symbol (electronic Malfunction light on dash) and loose power and many times just shut off and fire back up while driving down highway. back then no dealer could figure it out...

    Here's a "Talk About Anything" - II

    I'm not an electrical expert but I'd also say there is a problem with regulator. But now why is it going dead? Would a bad regulator do that too or is battery pooched?

    Here's a "Talk About Anything" - II

    Minus 40 up here last two days. Kubota's started no problem but it put my truck batteries to the test. Had to leave my Cat wheel loader running overnight up at the mine. The first morning I cold started it and let it run for an hour and still couldn't move the hydraulics, LOL

    Two questions from a ‘newish’RTV owner.

    Everyone pretty much gave you all the good advice you need. I too either park (inside) with dump box raised and if not I just start, raise it and then wait a minute or two and check oils. I also have a battery tender (maintainer). It came with the ends that bolts on my battery posts and have a...

    RTV Snowblower

    Yes, auger gear box was good, reduction box was empty and PTO drive box was down 100 ML. They greased auger shaft and none of the K--Connect was greased. I was not happy.

    RTV Snowblower

    Yes, it's an over-comlicated system and not cheap. But blowing works better for me. My RTV and F550 both with Boss vee plows always sat while I used tractor and blower.

    RTV Snowblower

    Thanks a lot Plumcrazy! I was gunna wait until I get it back to dealer in spring but maybe I'll have a look myself now. I'm still waiting on getting all the manuals. Dealer really dropped the ball this time. It's a good thing I went over it myself when I got it home. I already replaced a...

    RTV Snowblower

    A little comparison of my two blowers. As you can see, they scared winter away.

    X1100C front lower Ball Joints

    How come you don't like it? Is it just because it is slow? I love mine. It's a little workhorse. I use it as a dump truck hauling gravel, plowed for 3 years with a 6.6 Boss vee plow, now it's got a 66 inch snow blower on it. Not fast but has not run out of power.

    RTV Snowblower

    Here's a pic of how the mechanic had the hydraulic lines on blower chute....pointed downwards. You would think one would be able to see the hydraulic lines actually hitting the snow blower housing and bending?? I re-orientated all the fittings and placed an order for warranty replacement. Now...

    RTV Snowblower

    Thanks Westfield. I have all except the PTO Drive Kit with K-Connect. My dealer tells me that does not exist even though I sent them a picture of it you gave me. I contacted Kubota Canada. We'll see if they care. And as for my interior lighting, last night I found some purple tinted 194 bulbs...

    RTV Snowblower

    No worries about the service. I do that myself. It should have a pretty easy life. I'll still use the Kubota tractor to snow blow all the bad spots. Thanks for all the info.

    LX2620

    Checked out the new LX2620 the other day at my dealer when I was picking up my RTV. They look so much better with the oversize tire option. Makes the cab look more scaled to the size of the tractor. They tell me the new transmission is a lot quieter and less whine than the LX2610/B2650.

    RTV Snowblower

    Now my only complaint, (are you listening Kubota?) is one of the dash controls or the blower controls are illuminated. So until you have everything memorized you have to keep putting interior light on. I haven't looked to see what style bulb is interior light, but maybe I can do like I've done...

    RTV Snowblower

    I couldn't resist. I put it into the snow last night. I went in to a snow bank that was blown there by my tractor when it was wet, and immediately broke shear pin on the fan. But after I replaced I kept blowing into same bank and no more problems. Maybe the shear pin was loose? Think the wife...

    RTV Snowblower

    Some more pics. Still hasn't touched snow. Spent the day readjusting hydraulic fitting angles, re-routing lines and re-routing and looming electrical wiring.

    RTV Snowblower

    Thanks Westfield. That's the main reason I got mine, for my wife to use if I'm not around to clear yard. Will be a lots easier for her than the tractor or the Boss plow that was on the RTV. I see a lot of people on the internet saying they are unreliable and the drive coupler fails on them...
