I put the blade on my tractor. Did not use it even once for snow. Not complaining. However, I'm using it today to help spread some gravel. Then it comes off and bush hog takes it's place. 50 degree outside now. going up to 55. Sunny though so I'm planning to fire up the mower after I...

Thanks Brian. I've been meaning to update this thread. Unfortunately I have yet to do the first mow of the season. I should have mowed before Easter. I was talked out of it so we could hide easter eggs for the kids better. That worked. We hid 200 eggs. So far 191 eggs have been found...

If that's the case, the RTV averaged 5.1 mph for it's 1500 hours.

I see what you mean. Since it is not 8000 but real numbers like you show I doubt it is just resetting. For a definite answer I'm thinking you might take it to a dealer and see what they say. Please share here whatever you find out.

Just a guess but your meter is an hour meter only. You have 1500 hours on your machine. Once started that flash is the meter resetting from the start up process then it goes back to whatever hours are on your RTV.

That is strange. My 2015 RTV 1100 will show hours with the key on before the engine is running. It has a 'h' after the number, then once started it shows the miles driven. pics of mine.

Hi, welcome to our forums. There are quite a few excellent mechanically inclined members here. I am not aware of a NH tech, but maybe we'll both be pleasantly surprised.

Good intro. Welcome to our playground. Enjoy and post often. :tiphat: :thumb: :clap:

I am in 2wd most of the time. It might surprize you have far you can make it in just 2wd. I have the same soft Meigs county mud as you and I get by most of the time with just 2wd. I have a couple hills I don't even try in 2wd cause I don't want to tear them up. So I bump into 4wd then, but...

Sure sounds like a great deal. Boardercollie, who posted above this, is a whiz at these machines and owned machines that were close to 5000 hours. So as long as maintenance was not ignored on this machine you are getting a fantastic deal. Congrats.

threads merged. Title expanded to be more descriptive

My WSM pdf does not have a search feature. It was the freebie I downloaded. Leaves a lot to be desired. Anyone have a pic of where the rack screw is?

For me 25 would be fine if it could to that all the time. On flat ground I get close to 25 but on long grade hills I am more like 11 mph. That is frustrating.

It's okay here. More read this forum. Crazy. 10 years. :wow:

I'm with ya on not buying new. Especially with RTV's. I've never had a new one. As side by sides go thankfully the RTV is different. It's slow. It's a workhorse. The kids want a fast 1000cc one to run through creeks and big mud puddles. I would never buy a used side by side as who knows...

Is the RTV new to your dad? We have learned that kubota fluids and filters matter. Especially hydraulic fluid. It is a must to use Kubota's or else you can have issues similar to yours. I'm wondering if the hydro fluid might be low.

I like the lights built into the roof.

I had a Kubota 33 hp excavator and sold it since it sat more than being used. I planned to rent like you, for a week or a month as rates were not to bad. Then the rental place changed their requirements. You have to be a licensed contractor with contractor insurance before they will rent to...

Sad but that is the way of business nowadays. I felt similar pressure when I got close to retirement. What I need is a 30 to 35hp excavator. Going to small might get me injured if I try to do things beyond the scope of the machine, which I have a tendency to do. So I'm probably best off to...

Interesting. Digger does look like a heck of a machine. Of course it costs 4 times as much as that other one. Once again I'm going through the internal argument, I'd like to have one but can't say I really need one. lol Best wishes with your work and retirement.
