    rtv x1100c bogs down

    That's what I need. Mine is nothing more than a choke cable.

    rtv x1100c bogs down

    Mine is OEM. 2015 1100c. It's just a simple pull knob. I'm going to install what you have(aircraft type) but thinking about somewhere on the dash. Not handy where it is by the diff lock cable.

    rtv x1100c bogs down

    Certainly works for me. My hand throttle seems to have a detent at about 1/3 throttle. Not sure if by design or a stiff spot in the cable. I leave it in that position all the time except when starting. Makes for smoother operation at slow speeds. I'm thinking of installing a dash throttle...

    Downhill coast of new x1100 rtv

    Mine is a 2015. It will skid the wheels going downhill with a load. Strange.

    removing rear sway bar

    It's a matter of application. I don't want to experiment with such a modification side hilling three 55 gallon drums of fuel up the riverbank from my boat.

    removing rear sway bar

    Down hill side suspension fully compressed and up hill side fully extended greatly amplifies the overall tilt of the machine. Removal of the bar does allow more independent travel and somewhat better ride over flat rough terrain such as the infamous Alaska tundra "nigger head". Some folks remove...

    removing rear sway bar

    Top heavy load on a side hill with IR suspension without sway bar=bent up cab. Trust me on this.

    Max bed capacity—hydroseeder

    You're on the right track Brett. I found a trailer I really liked but to much money at the time and settled for a converted pick up bed trailer. Single axle trailer hitch is not good. I have problems getting light on my front wheels with it. The trailer I wanted had a "walking beam" two axle...

    Max bed capacity—hydroseeder

    I'm quite pleased with my $200 dollar trailer. Hauled up to 3000 lbs with out any big problems. Single axle, which requires getting weight balanced correctly. I looked at a nice trailer with a 2 axle walking beam arrangement that would be much better. Pricey bugger. It had wheels similar to...

    Max bed capacity—hydroseeder

    I hauled 4 drums of diesel fuel @ 50 gals each and the machine wasn't happy about it. The biggest issue was to much weight aft. I managed to haul it but never again. I estimated 1400 lbs. I pull an old converted Datsun pickup bed trailer now for such things. Would like install a gooseneck on it...

    About mid-may until mid-oct at the very latest. The chance of getting caught in ice is to great in oct for me to risk it, if traveling a long distance. A whole lotta miles of nothing and no way to travel if caught in it. A huge risk. The ice travels out of Canada, so local conditions don't...

    Maximum Tilt / Roll Over Angle x900?

    A "log jammer" as in the "Idaho log jammer"? Many hours on them from hooking to punching to loading trucks. All home made, very effective. My first real job as a kid was whistle punking for my dad on one. Coeur d Alene area of Idaho.

    Interesting site, but no Tuckers. I've used Ski-dozers and Nodwell's. Not a fan of either. Tuckers are great, but very popular, thus spendy. Can't justify the cost for the amount of practical use. Fuel is expensive here. Play toys quickly break the bank. I can justify the Kubota because of fuel...

    No I don't. Facebook, twitter, various news sites and a few forums such as this. I've got crappy cable in Galena and can only get CNN cable news, which is fine if you hate Trump. I don't so the internet is my only source of news. I'm a grumpy old curmudgeon that hate's Hollywood and liberals...

    As far as I know, Excede slows down the speed when you go over, instead of charging a fee.

    Got an Exede dish. Only thing that works well in Galena. There's a DSL service here, but it's total crap. Exede only works in parts of Alaska. Not sure if it will work for him.

    I'm done with NFL. I never gave a hoot about basketball or baseball. For some reason I like watching golf and I don't play the game. I'm with you, summer is my busy time so I don't get a chance to watch much racing. Usually get into during the chase.

    Never got to watch a race. Would love to go to Daytona. Have some friends in NC that are big fans and go to Daytona speed week every year. Be nice break from Alaska in the winter. The fans are great. Don't see them looting stores. NFL sucks!!!

    I'm a Hendrick groupie. Jr, Jeff and Jimmie. I like Chase and think he's going to be a very successful driver. The #48 is my favorite, but I also like the #78 because of what they have accomplished with a small team. I like the whole attitude of NASCAR, as compared to the NFL. NASCAR folk are...
