Great article with a sound, scientific approach - thanks very much. I just ordered some Opti-Lube XPD!

Thanks, Avantiguy. Is this the stuff you use? https://smile.amazon.com/Power-Service-3025-Cetane-Additive/dp/B004YYIF6Y/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1545490318&sr=8-3&keywords=Kleen+%2B+cetane

Thanks! I didn't realize you could re-apply the glow plugs after it starts, but that makes sense -- it should warm up the cylinders faster.

Thanks, Doc, good review! One line really jumped out at me: "The included clutch keeps tension on the CVT belt at all times, allowing for engine braking at all speeds." Now THAT is interesting. I had a John Deere Gator 620i XUV and although I loved it overall, one thing I really DIDN'T like...

Home sweet home -- and blacktop actually showing!

Well, guys, at the ripe oid age of 62, I have acquired my first diesel-engined vehicle, my new Kubota RTV-X1100C. It's a great machine and I love it, but I'm beginning to think that many years of owning gas-engined vehicles has left me unprepared for coping with a diesel in cold weather. I live...

Tightened up those springs on the plow today (several turns on each side) and it really helped with the issue of the plow tripping far too easily. Somewhere in my research on this thing, it said you should be able to slide a sheet of paper in between the coils. That dealer didn't have it set it...

Thought you guys might get a chuckle out of the "help" provided by Curtis Industries. ME: "Do you have any sort of manual for the 1UTVP snowplow oriented toward the end user? I just bought a new Kubota RTV-X1100C with this plow and the only manual I received is the same one you have on your...

The cracks in the concrete were the #1 thing jumping out at me in the video I posted (above) of the plow going up and down. It looks better from a distance, thank goodness.

Man, I have **GOT** to fix that driveway. That looks terrible, sure detracts from the house. :-(

You know, bc, you might be right. The front bumper comes up about 2" when you put the plow down, but maybe that's just the suspension coming up when you remove the weight of the plow. I'd actually be happy with no downforce, "Float" is what I'm after -- or, to be more specific, to set the plow...

Thanks, avantiguy. I know if I'd just looked at my plow and had seen the chain, I'd also have guessed it didn't have any downforce, just "float". That's what I was expecting when I bought it, so I was surprised the first time I hit the "Down" button and felt the front end lift up a little bit...

Oh, there's definitely downforce available. You can feel it lift the front end up and the little light in the center of the controller turns from green to red. Can't really plow like that, though -- it trips way too easily. There has to be a way to put it in Float... One "blip" of the Up button...

I just bought a new 1100C with Kubota's 72" straight plow (72" XTRA DUTY FRONT BLADE W/ELECTRO-HYDRAULIC LIFT AND ANGLE) and I wonder if anyone here could answer a few questions for me. It's painted orange, of course, but it's clearly this Curtis plow...

Hi guys, Thanks for letting me join this forum. I just bought a new Kubota RTV-X1100C with the Kubota 72" straight plow (72" XTRA DUTY FRONT BLADE W/ELECTRO-HYDRAULIC LIFT AND ANGLE). My main task here in the land of lake effect snow is to clear a 1000' long private road. I'm replacing a John...
