    RTV 2" receiver mounted broadcast spreader

    Well, I finally finished up the mechanical and electrical controls install for the Herd spreader I bought. The speed controller and slide gate actuator controls I purchased extra from Herd were basically a joke and it was kind of a hodge-podge thrown together systems with not enough wire and...

    John Deere 3005 No start

    Check your frame ground and check any main wire harnesses the have a plug and receptacle connector on them. My 5055D did that on me. Found a wire pin in the connector that had backed out. Reseated the pin and everything worked.

    How do you tighten the fan belt on a RTV1100c?

    Find a kid with skinny arms. That is what my dad always did. I was the kid with skinny arms..........

    a mutant tractor with iron wheels

    Man, if I tried that in my farm ponds, the front and rear axles would be deeply submerged in mud within 10 feet.

    I saw this one listed for $11k in Indiana. Canadian must be much higher. https://www.indianmotorcycleoflafayette.com/New-Inventory-2023-CFMoto-Utility-Vehicle-ZForce-950-HO-Sport-Indian-Motorcycle-of-Lafayette-14167591

    New Side by Side

    You really can't trust on-line reviews anymore. Either it's done by a kid who has no mechanical aptitude, gets a brand new one for X-mas and proceeds to beat the shit out of it right out of the gate, and then attempts to write a crappy review when he blows the engine up @ < 600 hours. Or, it...

    VW Water Pump

    I have owned a couple of Rangers. First one I bought new. I believe it was a 94 with the gutless Converted 4 banger Pinto motor in it. Dang thing had 8 spark plugs in it. My Ex took that POS. The next one was a late 90s with the V6 in it. It was ok. Drove it a few years until it was...

    Battery low charge

    Glad you found the problem. I have a carbon pile load tester that I use for diagnosing charging issues. It will tell you real quick if the problem is the battery, the alternator or a cable issue.

    Don't forget to check your ground connections. The ground is just as important as the hot wires.

    Battery low charge

    Don't forget to check and clean your ground connection. The positive cable is only half the circuit.

    Help please possibly (again)

    One last option nobody has thought about: Take a couple of blurry pictures of the RTV, post them on Craigslist with the caption: For Sale: Ran and drove perfect when parked. As Is, Where Is. When ya sell it, go buy a newer model...... :cool:(y)

    RTV 2" receiver mounted broadcast spreader

    My neighbor turned me on to Talstar. He has a 5000 sq. ft. log home, sitting on top of a large hill and literally had millions of the Asian Lady Beetles covering every single building he had. He sprayed the Talstar on every building, every window, overhang, doorways, anywhere the beetles could...

    RTV 2" receiver mounted broadcast spreader

    We had them bad for a couple of years back in like 2017 & 2018, especially in the fall. But they kind of went away after that. You can thank Uncle Sam for introducing them into North America. They were trying to control aphids with them, but it kind of back fired on them.......kind of like...

    RTV 2" receiver mounted broadcast spreader

    Good question. North Carolina County Extension offices do have a rental program for those spreaders. Unfortunately, Tennessee County Extension offices does not. I just noticed the first fire ant hills on my farm last fall. So, in our neck of the woods, this is all new. I may be the first...

    RTV 2" receiver mounted broadcast spreader

    In talking to the county extension guy on Wednesday, he explained what the bait was and why it had to be broadcast spread. The bait is EXPENSIVE. So you want to precisely meter it out to 1 to 1.5 pounds per acre. Most general broadcasters are not precision and would be prone to clogs...

    RTV 2" receiver mounted broadcast spreader

    one of the reasons I chose that model is it could broadcast up to a 45' wide path. Most I looked at were a 12' -15' path. I have an old atv, but I haven't used it in years.
