As mentioned, I too found that most of the noise is from the engine and not from the exhaust. I ordered sound dampening foam from McMaster Carr and glued it under the bed and on the side plates next to the engine. It helps.</p> </p> Pictures were posted here on the forum but that was a...

I had the same problem. I called Curtis and was sent a replacement immediately. </p> </p> Bob</p> </p>

The Kubota kit was installed at my request on my machine. It works well. You get right and left as well as emergency flasher functions. </p> </p> I got the tail light guards to help protect the rear lights. The front lamps are mounted close to the bottom of the windshield.</p> </p> They...

I looked at a 1100 briefly. Disconnecting the gas spring, do the doors lift off?</p> </p> Bob</p> </p>

My method of firewood harvesting is as follows. I am fortunate to have some property available to me on the approach end of an airport. The trees have to be kept down as over time they grow into the approach path of incoming planes. My agreement with the airport authority is to take anything...

There was a Modern Marvels show on milking technology. One segment featured a west cost specialty farm that milks goats, cows, water buffalo and more. Their 900 was shown several times. Bob

Silicone spray helps with snow sliding off the blade. Bob

My turn. I rolled over 50 a year ago. I was married a long time ago. By day I am a engineering leader and new product designer in the lighting business. I have a home shop where I fabricate equipment and machine parts for myself and customers. I am a commercial pilot and have a Beechcraft...

I got the OEM Bedliner. The thick plastic corrigations will absorb shock. To prevent the bed from denting I had sheared some 6 gauge aluminum deck plate. Using RTV and screws, I attached it to the bed floor (and tailgate) then reinstalled the bedliner. Bob

Re: KUBOTA BED LINER I installed some 8 gauge aluminum deck plate under the bedliner & tailgate to give the bed some additional impact resistance. If I were to drop in a heavy log and it hit on one end, it could dent the bed. 2 years later so far so good. I had pictures posted a couple of...

I have a bedliner. I haul firewood, equipment, dirt, ect. To add impact resistance I put a sheet of aluminum deck plate down on the bed, then the bedliner over it. There are pictures and links somewhere on this site. Run a search. My experience has been that the bedliner has offered far more...

After all the hype earlier this year, what has happened? A local dealer said that he had several sold, but still waiting. Have there been technical problems? Or have pre-ordered machines been going out right away? Bob

Prior to my RTV, I had a Kawasaki Mule. On it I had their plastic windshield. Despite being quite careful with scratching, cleaning procedure, etc., after a year there were scratches in it. At night there were swirls around any oncoming lights. Now a year and a half with the glass RTV...

Good points guys. I stopped at a Kubota dealer and they had limited information and expected their first 1100 in within a month or two. I would consider trading my 900 in but the biggest factor is this: The RTV 1100 is expected to have a $5000 premium over a 900. This prices it at a minimum of...

I have the OEM windshield. Really like it. Well made, sturdy, will not scratch. I went with the OEM bedliner and added a plate to increase impact resistance of the bed. Another inexpensive addition are the tail light guards. I bent the ones up on the Mule that I used to have backing into the...

John, That is close to what I just paid for a machine. I do not have the blade, so making that adjustment puts it close. Bob

Thanks Brian. Looks like you did a nice job. I built an aluminum panel yesterday and installed 5 switches. 4 of which are defined now, 1 for future use. I have plenty of space on the panel and made it so it is easilly accessable to add and modify. I did a last minute switch at the dealer...

The dealer finally got the machine all together and did a nice job installing the accessories on the machine. I will probably be working on making it the way I want it for quite some time. I already made a small bracket to stiffen the mounting of the rear work light. The work lights have...

I first saw a Bobcat Toolcat at the Farm Progress show in Decatur Illinois a few weeks ago. I was quite impressed with the machine. As you probably read in my "almost a new owner" post, I was looking to replace my Kaw Mule. I had ordered a RTV but nearly a month later the dealer still has not...

Hi Neal, Did those tires make the machine handle any differently? Bumpy at low speed? Noisy on the road at transport speed? Any negatives? Bob
