    RTV X1100C with snowblower

    Well I tried shutting my machine off in gear so I would not have to put the emergency brake on all the time. It was working for a while until I parked it on my driveway with probably a 10 degree incline. When I came back outside the machine was halfway down my driveway. So I guess I will have to...

    Come to think of it I don't use my brakes either. The only time I brake is to shift gears.

    RTV X1100C with snowblower

    No snow I was just thinking this morning about putting the snowblower away for the summer. I will have to wait till next winter to give an update. Thanks for answering my question that is good to know.

    Are you having a hard time remembering to take the emergency brake off. Will it hurt anything to shut the machine off in gear this should keep the machine from Rolling when not occupied? My wife left so brake on for short-distance I just want to eliminate this problem of potentially wearing out...

    Yes I remembered to take a pic after the fact. Oops! I tried to pull that same rock with my ATV and all the boulder did was Rock a little.

    RTV X1100C with snowblower

    You guys are probably sick of me talking about my Kubota. I used it for yard work today my wife wanted a giant boulder moved in her garden. I hooked the tow strap up to the Boulder and I was amazed at what little effort the machine put into moving that Boulder. Very pleased with machine pulling...

    I finished my snowblower cart, it definitely serves the purpose. We have one minor modification, the handle that engages and disengages the drive couplings hits the wheel on the cart I need to shave a little off.

    RTV X1100C with snowblower

    Thanks aurthuritis When I was working everything I built and designed was made out of steel. That is the only thing I miss about working is I do not have the Machinery at my disposal. Now when I want to make something out of steel at home everything has to be done old school. So I use a little...

    The handle you see on the left disengage has the system to disconnect the snowblower, when you push the handle down it disengages 2 Lovejoy type couplings. if you were talking about how to turn there snow blower on and off that is done with a switch inside the cab, there must be a a clutch...

    Here's some pictures from my owner's manual, and this is for the Kubota X 1100 C (RTV) the X is a newer model. This is not something you just bolt up and go there is 32 pages for the installation process. Even if I knew how to explain it, it would take me an hour to go through everything...

    K-Connect

    Yes it is driven by the three point hitch I think that's what it's called. the drive shaft goes all the way up to the front PTO. The whole system is hydraulic there is no electric involved. I tried to upload a file that explains this a detail but it did not work out. But if you Google PTO K...

    RTV X1100C with snowblower

    Somehow I deleted my own post. The K connect system is driven from a drive shaft at the rear the machine. It disconnects with three simple steps first you pull the two pins on each side then you push down on the handle to disconnect the drive, then you lower your hydraulics and back out that's...

    K-Connect

    The K-connect system is driven by a drive shaft that comes from the back of the machine. There are three basic steps to remove the attachment. First you pull the two pins on each side of the PTO next you push down on the disengagement handle which disengages the two couplings which Drive the...

    RTV X1100C with snowblower

    Thanks for the compliment! The snowblower weighs 340LBS no gussets needed. I left room to add gussets if I needed them, but I will not need them. I designed the wheel mounts for strength, if you look at the wheel blocks I used the router on the wheel mounts so I can put screws in on both sides...

    RTV X1100C with snowblower

    I started building a cart for my snowblower to make it easier to remove and install. I had to keep it very low to the ground to be able to disconnect and connect with the PTO
