Dennis and Zoom sounds like temperatures are starting to cooperate for you, I'm happy about that. Normally I should be seeing some relief by now but it just isn't happening, my animals are fed up with it and so am I.

Last night we had freezing rain followed by 8-10 inches of wet snow then freezing rain again, I worked for hours trying to plow this crap today. Tonight we are getting the same. I am just so tired of (this) winter. Normally we only get a few dumps of wet snow each year now we are getting mostly...

This is good Zoom another one of those learning experiences, I'm really interested in the progress of these RTV's over time and only the earliest to the latest owners can help us with that.

RealtreeRTV thank you so much for this post, I think I am within your limits but I was always concerned about causing long term problems resulting from idling.

My 2013 RTV 900 doesn't have one either, it is activated by the brake pedal.

Yeah I can appreciate that, how big do those hogs go?

Two guns I would be afraid to shut mine off in that stuff if it was camo colored. Beautiful greenery though.

Thanks Zoom I always shut mine down in the summer as well but in the winter for short periods of time I let it idle, particularly if I am dropping off hay/straw or feed. On really cold days my temperature needle hardly moves off the peg so I feel like the RTV isn't really getting up to...

Two Guns that is about as close as it gets to being able to switch from summer to winter tires at the press of a button.

Thanks guys I am going to continue to let mine idle, I like to know my lubes are up to temperature when I am working a machine.

Thanks Kanook, that's what I do as well, all my experience with diesel engines has been to keep them warm, I just never had the RTV experience and wanted to see what other were doing. When I am working my tractor during the winter I never shut it off.

Steak an beans sounds pretty good

I have a question about idling, With the small diesel engines in our RTV's is it better to keep them idling or shut them off while doing chores throughout the day, I am talking about winter here. I feel like I should keep the diesel warm but I know it is not good to idle gasoline engines as they...

Absolutely right KOBE I did lots of research before I bought mine, I have some neighbors with a Rhino and they park it for the winter, just got tired of getting stuck, I needed a 7/24/365 vehicle and that is what i got.

RSAW, sorry to hear you aren't happy with you RTV, I bought mine with the Worksite tires and they are pretty much useless getting around in muck or snow, however I put a set of chains on the rear and now I can go just about anywhere in 2 wheel drive. Like many others on this site I use mine...

I had the same thought Doc, this warm feeling came over me when I saw that green grass.

Two Guns you have eyes like a hawk, your buddies must love hunting with you.

Xtrooper that vise setup is a great idea, for working in the woods.

Nice work wild bill on both the plow and the tool box.

That looks like fun.
