    RTV Daily uses, What did you do today with your RTV?

    Was cold and rainy here today, so I left the antique tractors inside and went for an RTV ride instead this time. Wife wanted to go see some fall colors even though we missed the peak last week. And because it's an RTV, I never come home empty. Loggers leave lots of wood when they are done.

    1100c Bedliner question

    Well I have the spray in bedliner in my 1100C and have been loading gravel in it with the loader on my B2620 and hauling firewood for 2 years now and have yet to dent or mark the liner. I don't drop it from 10 feet high, but I do throw blocks of hardwood maple into it. And then dump it out...

    55 Allis Chalmers CA

    Millie and I had a nice day in the yard today. I wanted to run the Allis since it's been laid up so long. My old phone camera doesn't do the fall colors justice even though I missed their peak last week while I was stuck at work.

    2023 RTV-X1100C prices from around the country.

    Most of them are.......that's why the millennials voted for Trudeau because he gave them legal pot.

    Winches

    LOL! Yep. This world is just getting more insane by the day. The Warn winch on my RTC only has a corded winch and I didn't even like the fact that it doesn't ALSO have switches hardwired in the cab. I like redundancy.

    Roxor and EGR trouble

    I work in the mining industry. If you saw what goes on to get your battery minerals.......I have NO guilt at all in deleting EGR and DPF's on my little engines.

    Roxor and EGR trouble

    I did this to both my 6.0 Powerstrokes. One thing you should notice now Bordercollie is you engine oil will stay a lot cleaner now too as a bonus.

    2023 RTV-X1100C prices from around the country.

    I paid (IN CANADIAN) $26,000 in 2021 for my RTV-X1100C. By the time I added all the LED lights, receiver mount winch with wiring front and rear, rear protection plate, stereo, rear view mirrors, and Boss vee plow I had just about $35,000 into it. I see they now START at $32,856. My dealer was...

    Winches

    Anything that requires me to have an APP on my phone to work it won't have a place in my yard, LOL if Warn is pushing that for the future, then I guess it is a good thing there are other companies that make winches. And if they all go this way, guess I'll have to break out the old hand crank...

    Ford and Allis

    Took two of them out again before winter sets in. I wanted to get the Massey's out too to do some pics but it started pouring rain, so I had to put everything back inside.

    Ford and Allis

    Finally! After being parked for 2 years I finally got time to mount my new rear power adjust rears to the Allis. The originals were so rotten from calcium, the last time I used it one literally crumbled apart. So got a new set of Alliance Farm Pro's (made by Yokohama who also recently bought...

    New Holland PS 90 2021

    I couldn't get any interest from New Holland or their dealers here in Ontario to even sell me a tractor on a few occasions. That's why the only blue tractor in my yard says FORD on it. LOL I actually like a lot of stuff NH and Case IH make, but I see nothing but horror stories about them on...

    Winches

    Mine is slightly bent too but the rollers still turn. Rollers are still smooth as I had switched to rope after my first winter. Before I bought tractors, that Sportsman 500 H.O. was my main snow plow rig. Has the Polaris Glacier plow. Before winter was over I snapped the steel cable. Then I...

    Winches

    This is the problem with writing a reply versus speaking.....I just read my comments above and it sounds like I'm an arse. LOL So don't take it that way. I just never did understand why they always said you have to change your fairlead to a Hawse, but in that article Bczoom posted, I don't see...

    Winches

    So basically that just confirmed what I already knew and why I didn't switch my fairlead......the Hawse fairlead is just another "latest greatest thing" they try to fool you into spending money on when you by your synthetic rope, LOL Absolutely no benefit at all. You can't tell me it is better...

    Strange Issue

    Thanks Tech and Biff. Probably what I will have to do because I tightened all the clamps. That's odd what you said Biff......you wouldn't think of that......that the clamp is tight but no good. Mine never leaks a drop in summer. Only after use in winter and left in the unheated barn overnight.

    Winches

    So I knew about the different fairleads but what exactly is the reason they say not to use a roller fairlead with synthetic rope? I've been using the roller fairlead on my Sportsman 500 since 2005 when I switched to rope. I've never had a rope failure. My only complaint with synthetic rope is...

    Strange Issue

    Probably. I have seen no issues with mine as of yet. Unless one of the dealer people hit it or something doing the PDI. My RTV has been trouble free so far. Other than I found a nut in the bottom of the driver side door. But everything still works and no rattles. And I can't seem to get the...

    200 Hour Service

    I just made a habit of going through my tractors and RTV every fall. Replace fluids and filters and a good inspection. It's one thing to have an issue or break down in the summer and you have to wait to mow the lawn or grade the road, but it REALLY SUCKS if you have an issue in the winter and...

    200 Hour Service

    I would not go by the manual at all myself. It doesn't say to replace the fluid until 400 hours!!!! It shows to replace filters at 50 hour break in, then again at 200 hours, then filters and fluid at 400. With how much these things cost now, I would for sure do a break in oil change just to...
