Fellas,</p> Now I know why I like reading these posts so much, talk about entertainment. Besides sharing ownership of a machine, we all enjoy the outdoors and we all screw up sometimes! Anyone who has spent time working or enjoying the outdoor hobbies, no matter what part of the country can...

Dennis,</p> I guess after reading Onfoot's reply that I'm somewhere in the middle on that thinking. Normally I stress it to my family and practice it myself as part of the shut-down of the machine to set that brake fully. I have had more trouble from my wife and daughter only setting it part...

Tommy,</p> Since everybody has an opinion, here's mine. That looks like a great design, very heavy duty which we all like. It can be used on any rails for any model but different chain saw makers make different styles of their protective rubber sleeve. Don't modify your design to make them all...

Luckily, I havn't had any mechanical problems yet. I know thatat any time something may go wrong with a part or system but overall this thing is well built. All you have to do is compare it to the competition, and if work is something you are planning to do, then I don't see anything better out...

As an owner of a 900 RTV for two years and someone who found this site 6 mos. before that,I know that there are a lot of different viewers of each post on here. You have the pleasure users who want to drive their kids and grandkidsfor a ride andoccasionaly use the rtv for a little work around...

Thanks Jerry, </p> I had to laugh at your fix butnow I'm going out and doing the same thing! </p>

I just discovered a problem that I have not seen addressed on the forum. I noticed that one of my headlight bulbs has melted down thru the plastic housing and is now at the bottom of the housing pointing up at an angle! I know those bulbs get hot but it must have jiggled out of the mount and...

There's nearly always some drawback to having a tree in the yard, like downed limbs, seeds or leaves but we can't live without 'em and the benefits far outweigh the problems. Anyway it is a pretty good choice for a yard tree even with the fruit issue! I was just happy that I guessed right on the...

Robuta, I'm impressed with your work ethic and ability to use your machine for work projects and pleasure but I've got to ask one question. I looked at all the pictures, zoomed in and out on all the shots and I still can't figure out what kind of tree that is!!! I know I getting older and the...

Sorry I took so long to get back to you, I just don't check the site too often. Always good to talk to another forester. I worked 32+ years for the state of Ohio on public lands, now retired and working on a few private jobs, marking and administering sales mostly. I am also working on my 90...

Quercuschips,</P> Again welcome to this forum, as you have found just ask a question and these members are more than happy to help with some great information. I've got a 900 model and have learned a lot just by checking this forum every few days. Before you do or buy anything for the RTV...

Tedt,</P> I've had a lot of experience with log roads, installation, maintenance and repair. You should locate a good operator in your area with a decent size dozer (JD-450 or 550) who has had some experience with log roads. Maybe a logger who has some down time and is available for a few...

kas, </P> Welcome. You already made some good moves, ie: you bought your machine and you found this forum. After looking at the manual myself, I now only use it fo do it myself maintenance. The real information comes from this forum. I just check it about once or twice a week and I use my...

I just had to relay the following to all current and future owners ( I include you because I know I read this forum for a long time before I could justify such a large expense to my family and myself).</P> I have a small hill farm in southern Ohio (mostly trees) where I live with my family. I...

I waited until I could get the weather right to do this and be outside or at least near the overhead door inside. I got a new bed with very little rust on it, my machine was a dealer demo model with about 35 hours on it. After reading the directions on the can I'll prep as they suggest and then...

New owner here, folks. Just like to say that I have enjoyed reading posts in this forum so much the last couple of months that I went out and bought a RTV so I could join in. Now I've got aquestion, has anyone tried the paint on bed liner from the auto part store to protect the floor of the bed...
