Need Bigger Alternator. I have a SnowDogg plow on my 2009 RTV 900. I plow my driveway and 2 door yards with it and frequently am changing the plow setup, not just raising and lowering it. After I have plowed, the next morning, if it is cold, say 10ºF, I have to put the batter charger on it to...

We had about 4" of snow overnight and I got to try my new SnoDogg plow. I had to adjust the mount height an inch and that helped. No frost in the ground so had to bee careful and still dug it up some. Several days of cold temps will put some frost in and then the plowing will go much better. I...

Yesterday I picked up a Snow Dogg "V" Plow for my 900. I think I got a good deal. the dealer had ordered it for someone last year and they never picked it up and he wanted it gone. Dealer was very nice to deal with and only about 70 minutes away. There are closer dealers, but they are in Vermont...

I have a RTV900 with the auxiliary hydraulic valve setup and the large side mounted hydraulic tank. I have an snow plow blade that I would like to adapt to this machine. I want to use the Aux hydraulic line to run through a 2 spool valve to control up/down and left/right. Also need some idea on...

My 2010 RTV900 that I purchased last winter has 3200+ hours on it and I don't think the valves had ever been adjusted based on the paint on the bolts and the vapor hose going to the valve cover. To adjust the valves it is necessary to have the crank at exactly top dead center (TDC or 1TC). The...

I have a RTV900 and the air cleaner is mounted on the guard behind the seat on the passenger side just at ear level. It seems like a lot of noise comes from that valve. Would replacing it reduce the noise level? It does seem to be pulsing and making a low pitched noise. Peter

Yesterday I had a ride up into the back country in a Polaris Ranger Crew XP 1000 eps North Star. While I would not take my RTV900 Worksite where we went, I am glad that I did not buy the Polaris Ranger or the Kawasaki Mule that I looked at. The RTV900 may be bigger and heavier but the all gear...

The fuel gauge on my RTV900 reads high. It shows full when it is down quite a bit and then all the rest of the readings show much more in the tank than actually is there. Any ideas on what the problem is and how to fix it? Peter

I have some air bags that never got installed on a camper that I used to have. Can I put the on the rear of my 900 to increase the load and raise it up a little? Peter

I have been using my RTV900 to pull out wood and stones and realized that some means to quickly and easily hook a chain or rope for pulling would be a big help. This afternoon I welded up this attachment for the trailer hitch receiver. I figured that would be the best place to pull from. It has...

Can I install HD springs on standard struts to increase the front load capacity? My front and rear sit a little low, probably just from age. It is a 2010 RTV900. Peter

I wonder if the springs on my RTV900 are "Tired"?It seems like it sits a little low. Is there some measurement as to what is "normal" or "new"? Say a measurement from the ground to a height at certain points on the body? I have seen replacement springs advertised. Has anyone every replaced just...

Has anyone installed an oil pressure gauge and a voltmeter on a RTV900 or RTV 1100? I really miss having these. Peter

Has anyone installed a tachometer on a RTV900? It seems like it would be a nice addition. Peter

I have a 2010 RTV900 with the internal spark arrestor on the end of the tail pipe the is removed by undoing the two socket head screws. The early models had the screen on the end of the tail pipe and the later ones had the internal ones that were cleaned by undoing the bolt on the bottom. What...

How warm should the engine get under normal conditions? Mine never gets very warm and the temp gauge stays near the bottom. I will check it with a digital thermometer to see what it actually is. Maybe need a thermostat? Thank you for the help in getting this new to me rig going and checking...

I live in New Hampshire. It gets cold here, not like Northern Canada or Alaska ( I spent 2 years in Alaska's interior and have seen -65º) but down to -20º from time to time. That said, I would not try to start my RTV900 much below +10º. This is a 2010 machine I just purchased and it has marked...

I just purchased an older RTV900. In good condition and appears to have been serviced regularly, but high hours. Runs and drives nice and no strange noises. It has hydraulic dump on the bed. Beside the lever for the bed dump is a yellow lever with the lock engaged. The visual shows the lever...
