    Grote mirrors on RTV1100

    I got a pm from a member a couple weeks ago. Just ran across the notification in my email. He asked about a posting I'd made back in 2008 regarding my mounting of Grote Jr. West Coast Mirrors. So, as a service to all, here is the original picture and description. Both brackets go on the door...

    welding

    I have an 1100 with LT720 Blizzard plow and I'm in my third season of plowing. All has worked well so far, but one of the driveways I plow is very rough, so rough I have to go slow and pick up the plow a bit off the surface or it will be catching every few feet. Anyway, like I said, all is well...

    Pucker Factor

    Hello all -</p> I've been reading posts here having to do with steepness of hills. I'm still new to my RTV 1100, and I wouldn't want to roll or tip it over. I was driving around in the back yard today and went up a hill (4wd, M range) carrying 200 lbs of 8' long pallets in the bed that hung...

    Plowing so far, 2008

    Well, I have gotten around around 5 hours seat time plowing in the past couple weeks with an RTV 1100. I am happy to report that the heater will blow you out of the cab within 5 minutes. I have to almost turn it off after that amount of time, and that's in 0 to 10 degree weather, with...

    First plow with RTV 1100/Blizzard 720LT

    Through this board I'd heard that our local Alcoa plant had ordered 2-3 RTV 900's with Blizzard 680LT plows (6'8" fully hydraulic). When I ordered my RTV 1100 this year I also ordered the Blizzard plow, but because of a shipping shortfall somewhere I ended up (with my consent, same price) with a...

    SAE or metric?

    SAE or metric? This might sound like a stupid question but are the RTV 1100's fasteners SAE (inches) or metric? I'm getting an impact wrench, and want to know if I need a metric set of sockets.</p> Thanks, Doug</p>

    snow plow shoes/pucks

    I decided to start a new thread so as not to distract from rgm's original thought lines.</p> rgm wrote (in thread New Owner)</p> <p style="padding-left: 30px;">"I also need to re-fab the shoes on the curtis plow to keep the scraper bar out of gravel. It looks like the scraper bar istaller than...

    The Great Midwest Flood of 2008

    I've noticed the almost total lack of activity on this forum the past couple days. I fear that many of our members are caught up in fighting the onslaught of water in our nation's central watershed. From Nick-America in southern IL to Two Guns and Tommy in LA, I'm thinking that all those RTV's...

    Still looking for mirrors

    I've been to several local auto parts stores, plus WalMart, and haven't seen anything close to what I want. In looking on the web, the best thing I've seen is the Grote 28252-5. Here is a link:</p> http://grote.com/product.php?product_number=28252-5</p> I found one price of $32 on shop.com...

    RTV insurance in NY

    I stopped by my insurance agent today and told him that I was expecting delivery of a new RTV 1100 in a few days and how should/could I insure it. Just wanted to start him thinking. He said that it would be covered under my homeowners policy as long as it was used in maintenance of the property...

    Pulling the trigger - side rack

    Hi all - I'm going to the Kubota dealer on Monday 5/12 to hash out a deal on an 1100. I'm including a rear screen and bedliner. Plan to ask dealer to throw in a service manual, and maybe a high air intake. I've been thinking about the high intake though. It may get in the way of a rack I plan...

    Has time stopped?

    This is the first day I haven't seen any new posts from anyone. On my computer, the last post is from TG at around 10:30 Sunday night, 4/6/08. Is it my connection, or has the world gone silent? </p> Doug</p>

    RTV plowing muscle in tough conditions

    I posted the following (with a question to Deerlope) in the thread "Snow for you Two Guns". <blockquote>I woke up to an average of 7" in the driveway (more or less depending on the drifts) with 12 to 14" of the heavy stuff by the road where the road plows throw the messy stuff. In your opinion...

    Dealers in Northern NY

    Hi all - As some of you may remember from my introductory post (New Member), I live in St. Lawrence County, NY. I have been to one Kubota dealer so far - Snell in Potsdam. Mark Dow there has always been helpful and straightforward with my questions, so I just assumed that I would be making my...
