Back Porch Visitor This little fellow paid us a visit the other morning..

Some owners mistakenly locked the lever that operates the lift in the full down position. This resulted in the hyd cyl having force applied continuously, heating up the oil and in some cases even melting a hole in the plastic reservoir tank. Think maybe the newer units have a metal tank but mine...

CORRECTION.......The tires that I thought were "turf tires' were/are Nokian Ice and Snow radials for tractors. They supply superior traction in ice/snow/slush conditions very costly and I don't know if they come in RTV size...Sorry for the bad info. .....................:bonk:

I agree with Zoom...On the odd occasion I have encountered heavy wet snow covering unfrozen loose road surface, usually early winter or early spring and a more agressive tread would have worked well (rutted the driveway up too). In my case the road surface is frozen to a depth of 4 feet most the...

Sample install for a boss blade....Go to Boss site and look for manuals (I googled boss v plow). The proceedure is similiar to the one I used to install my Blizzard and if you can use a socket wrench, box wrench etc you'll have no difficulty..I did have the use of my backyard buddy 4 poster car...

I clear residential driveways in the winter to fill the time (I'm retired) and also to augment my meager pension income. My RTV 900 equipped with a Blizzard plow and factory 'knobby' tires. The driveways are either paved or gravel (obout 50/50). The 900 has no difficulty with traction with these...

I agree with Mark....The Polaris will run circles around the bota on the trail...but...if you are into serious snow pushing, the opposite would be the case. The RTV is a Bud Weiser work horse ....the Polaris maybe a Triple Crown contender. Guess it all depends on how much snow you encounter in...

Whether the snow blade is manually or hydraulic operation, it pushes snow in the 'float' position. The blade has skids or 'shoes' to prevent it from digging in so you lower the blade and just givver'. I have a Blizzard brand on mine. Blizzard, Boss, Curtis, etc all build quality units. The...

All these years the local beauty parlor has been refusing my requests for an appoinyment and I thought it was because I was just too butt ugly to beautify, and now I find out it's because I have a RTV900...The world will just have to put up with my ugly mugg fora while longer as my 04 model is...

If it is from a safety interlock, try shorting the two wires temporarily to see if the tractor will start.

I have used the Kubota parts site here in Canada a couple of times to look up parts..It was easy to use and allowed me to view the item(s), zoom in etc. and obtain p/n etc . Very useful..Wonder why there are separate USA/Canada parts look up....they're the same machines.

Nice work Mark....50 ft X 4 ft trench by hand???? Hope you don't have a lot of rock in that soil....ouch!...My brother has a similar setup heating the old farm house...Darm thing burns just about anything he can fit into it....He claims he can get 14-16 hours in the dead of winter when its -30...

All of the above.....:whistling:

Thought at 1st that you had installed one of those 'up flush' toilets. ..Just joking...nice work ....McGuiver-ism still thrives.

My 04 has around 300 hours but I got it when it was 4 years old and 106 hrs..Someone else got to love it for its first 4 years of its childhood.Hope it doesn't turn into a typical teenager a couple of years down the road.

Saw something similar at a local TSC Store in the nuts and bolts section. Of course a 2" 3/16 flat bar bent at 90 degrees on both ends would do the trick.

Just my 2 cents....A few years ago I bought a Blizzard snow blade for my 900. It was in rough shape and needed a bit of torch heating to get it more or less back into shape. I then had it sand blasted and epoxy primer coated. When I got it back I finished it with a litre (guart) can of orange...

There is such a thing as over enthusiasm!:whistling:

Congrats on your new aquisition....Is it just my old eyes failing or do these new RTV models have more wheel well clearance?
