Me neither. Maybe it's above our paygrade???

How clean is the machine around the engine compartment?

Hopefully someone close by needs a set of tires. Freight will hit you hard. Hope your new tires meet your expectations!!!! Of course pics!!!!! :)

All good advice. I use a 2500lb with synthetic rope on my Rhino. Don't have one on the RTV. I use a 9500lb on my rock buggy with steel cable. I use a 9000lb on my streetable offroad jeep with steel cable. I'm brand conscious. All three of mine are Warn.

I also run 20lbs in the rear and 15lbs front. I think each individual's use varies so much that you should do your own math in regards to what load capacity you need. I think bordercollie described her uses very well. She might rarely haul the full capacity of the machine. But every day she...

Were these winches dealer installed?? Curious if Kubota ships RTVs with a winch installed?

Went from 25" POS worksite tires to 27" ITP Blackwater tires. No negative. As I always say, pay particular attention to load capacity.

Does Kubota offer a winch as an option?? I'm talking about Kubota, not dealer added. I'm pretty confident Kubota doesn't make a winch. But I don't know what brand they offer. Most major brand winches offer remote. Ramsey was the first to do it that I saw in the offroad world.

Bummer. Sorry for your bad luck. I'm not a mechanical genius. First thing I look at is coolant. Rusty sends red flag. Low level and I'm out. Hopefully you are in cheap enough that you can replace the engine. Hard part will be finding a useable donor for sale. :(

Good stuff!!! I call that "bonding" with your RTV. :)

Hope that fixes it. Sounds like you are on it.

Someone mentioned skidding, this pic is a bit old and I've probably posted it before. I dragged this log over 1/4 mile with plenty of traction from the loaded bed. :)

Good point. And I can't verify either way.

EGT = Exhaust Gas Temperature. At a certain temperature your piston tops will begin to melt. This will destroy your engine. The pyrometer allows you to monitor this situation. In a long high rpm heavy load situation the pyrometer will alert you to possible damage and you'll be able to relax...

There's definitely some money involved in there somewhere. The conversion is definitely doable. It would be definitely worthy when the RTV is stuck in gear......

That is soooooo cool!!!! Almost makes me wish I lived in snow country. My wife would never know where I was. :)

Would still be handy to do some comparison runs using various tasks, one could be pulling the boat. If you don't, you'll wish you had!!! :)

Yeah, I can't really understand why they did it this way. With appropriate gearing and HP a BX tractor would do everything regarding mobility that the RTV will do using a simple treadle. Beats me.

Thanks for the update!!! Anxious to see the results!!!!
