    Oil change question

    Getting rid of that old oil got rid of the acids that are in the oil from combustion. Regardless if looks clean after the change means very little.If you really want to know what is going on in that engine send an oil sample off to Blackstone to be analyzed.

    Add turbo to RTV1100 or go with new Ranger?

    I have had my 900 since they came out and I still can not beleive what 21 HP can do if geared right. We are makeing maple syrup now and of corse I have the tracks on now. All day long,up and down those hills carrying 125 gallons of sap one way. We don't go fast, usually in "M" most of the time...

    Add turbo to RTV1100 or go with new Ranger?

    Turbo facts , first of all its not going to give you more HP. It will only help to develop it faster.The engine may run a little smoother at higher altitudes.

    1926 Snow Tractor

    It never caught on because of the rear drive. If it came down over something abruptly it would break them. Metal breaks real easy when its cold.

    ATV Log Arch

    With a band sawmill if the drit is on the side that the blade is being pulled into it don't take long before it it dull. I sawed 30,000 bdft to build my house and garage. You can also build a little boom in the bed of the RTV and put a hand crank or electric winch on it. Take your receiver hitch...

    ATV Log Arch

    Every RTV has a log arch built right into it. I tryed it an it works good until you have to back up, so don't. One day while in the woods I cut a fairly big(14"@ butt) eastern white cedar. I did not want to drag it and fill the bark with mud and small stones because I wanted to saw it into...

    IMPORTANT All Compact Tractor Review members please read ...

    You don't have to be sorry Brian I can take it. If I was out of line then so be it. We all have a personal crisis to deal with now and again. The military gave me one back in 1963 and every day of my life since I have had to deal with it. Being former military yourself you may have some to deal...

    RTV fails miserably

    You try driving it the way Zoom told you to and you will see that he knows what hes talking about. You will find that spot in the throttle and you will feel the increase in power. There is actually and aux hydraulic pump that comes into play when the throttle is in the right place. It is hard to...

    RTV fails miserably

    The only thing wrong is the operator. Listen and pay heed to the advice given. Maybe you can get the Kubota engineers to change the design but I rather doubt it. Mine is an 05 model and with men and equipment I am hauling over 2400 lbs and we are pulling hills all day in medium gear range 2WD...

    My RTV- soon to be an extreme off road vehicle

    A cab will only make it worse, because you will never want to get out. Then you will become fat and not be able to go into the thicket(with 1911 drawn)and find those wounded critters. Now Two Guns has a chance at staying warm by moving around. Age is slowly creeping up on you my boy.</p>

    My RTV- soon to be an extreme off road vehicle

    I have also had mine since 05 and I have never been stuck with tires only hung up on a rock. I had to cell phone my neighbor to come pull me off with a Ranger no less. Once these RTV bottom out you aren't going anywhere. The tracks give me more ground clearence and 7 feet of ground contact on...

    My RTV- soon to be an extreme off road vehicle

    I sure wouldn't call the an extreme off road machine because you know you are going to be stuck alot that is why you are putting a winch on it. If you want an off road machine and want to keep going get a set of tracks. True they will get stuck also but not as often a tires.</p>

    Best Property Defense Weapon for Wife at Barn

    The all around best PD weapon is the Taurus 45 long colt, which will handle the 410 shotshell. There may only be 3 buckshot pellets but that would be enough to deter me.</p>
