    Snow plow emergency lift idea.

    I have read several posts about being 'stuck' if/when the plow lift dies. If you are using an actuator or winch, or maybe even if using hydraulic, do this. Carry a good, heavy duty ratchet strap in the tool box. I am lifting my plow now with a cheap, too small one. A good heavy duty one would...

    Winch cable question.

    I have a New Old Stock 2500 pound pull Polaris winch that I am going to mount on the front of the RTV to lift the snow plow with. The winch looks just like a Warn winch, for reference. I need the power cables to be on the left side for convenience in wiring. I can mount the winch on the front...

    Installing a new KFI Snow Plow

    This winter has been rough here, LOTS of snow. I didn't want to put a plow on the RTV, but it became a necessity. Not needing the expense of the beautiful Boss plow, I found and ordered a 66" KFI plow. It has arrived, very quickly due to an excellent ebay seller and business owner. He managed to...

    Winch wiring?

    I have searched and looked and not found... Is there an electrical connector under the hood of a '15 x1100c that will handle a 2500 pound winch electrical load? I thought there would be something here, but I sure can't find it. Any help appreciated. Oh, I have a new in the box Polaris...

    Profound discovery!

    Don't drive the tractor into the shed bucket first if you expect snow! DUH! We were gone for a couple of days so I put the tractor in the shed. Drove it in... and we had about 2 feet of wet heavy snow. Grrr... I got the thing out and promptly got it stuck while building an ice road with the box...

    X1100 Work light wiring?

    I have my lights. The wiring comes out in the normal location on the roof. The fuses and relays all seem to be in place. So, when I reach into the radio hole in the headliner, I can find a cable with a square plug on it. I'm not sure what to do with this thing. I have separate switches for front...

    RTV X1100C Operator's Manual

    I got tired of running out to the rig to look at the book, and I wanted a copy on my iPad for reference anyway. So, I started 'scanning' it with an app on the iPad. The thing is far from perfect, but it will work. I somehow got the scans switched to 'grayscale' and they should have been B&W for...

    X1100C Driving Lights

    I started to install the LED driving lights I bought on a recommendation from here. They are quite nice, $20 for the pair from Amazon. I had planned on making my own brackets using ideas found here too, but I discovered that the factory mounts that came with the lights are perfect. So, I decided...

    Planning bed rails for X1100C

    I started working on a plan for bed rails for the new rig. Looking over the threads here gave me ideas so I started measuring for the metal cutting. I used cardboard and duct tape... what else? It seems there is more room than I thought. I won't have to bend any tubing to clear the window...

    Source for digital service manual.

    Any idea where I can get a reasonably priced digital copy of the service manual for an X1100C?

    Paint?

    Is there a spray can paint that matches the Charcoal Gray Kubota paint good enough to use for things like bed racks and such?

    We did it! New 2015 RTV-X1100c!!!

    First, thanks to everyone here who unwittingly helped me make the decision. I have scoured the forum for tidbits and even the dealer said... "you did your homework". I think I asked all the right questions, ordered the right accessories and got a good deal. Bottom line, the dealer knocked off...

    Hello from Nevada.

    I'm a retired miner and mechanic. I live in the high desert of Nevada and have had a BX24 since '07 I think it was. That little machine has been the best piece of equipment I've ever had. It is tough and does anything (literally) that I ask of it. So, I decided to get an RTV-X 1100C to replace...
