    RTV900 Alternator Upgrade

    Another apparent benefit of the Battery Tender is that with the higher batter voltage, the glow plugs seen to get hotter and the engine turns over much faster and it starts up like it was the middle of summer. Peter

    RTV900 Alternator Upgrade

    It was -3ºF last night and I went out this morning to try it. Cooked the glow plugs for 20-30 seconds, hit the starter and it fired off like the middle of the summer. The fact the it turned over fast probable helped it fire right up. It charged the battery and then went into maintenance mode...

    RTV900 Alternator Upgrade

    Some updates. The alternator is putting out 14.4 volts at idle and 14.5 V at higher engine speeds. I had it on a trickle charger for a couple od days but it was disconnected yesterday and this morning it started right up no problem. Friday morning will be -3º predicted and I will try it with the...

    RTV900 Alternator Upgrade

    I paid $3K for this one and a Boss would have been near $5K. It works for me.

    RTV900 Alternator Upgrade

    I have noticed the trip edge issue, but I have a gravel driveway and it has not been a major issue. I got a really good deal on this and a Boss would have been $2,000 more, so was hard to pass up on a limited budget. I crushed a hydraulic hose last Saturday and it burst. I spent some time...

    RTV900 Alternator Upgrade

    A bigger batter and battery tender may well be my solution, as well, but I though I would see what other people have done. Anyone aith a "V" plow setup must have run into this problem as all the new plow set ups are electric over hydraulic.

    RTV900 Alternator Upgrade

    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...

    LED Headlight Bulbs RTV X1100C

    I looked at that map of hog locations on the US and the one in New Hampshire is about 2 miles as the crow flied from me. It is a 25,000 acre private fenced and patrolled game hunting preserve. They brought in European hogs about 130 years ago and they are said to be the only purebred ones left...

    First Snow & First Time With Plow

    First decent snow last year was 38"!!!! I had to get the bulldozer and loader tractor both out to deal with that. A record or near record. 18" is about the max we normally get and 10" to 12" is average. We live in a snow belt on the east side of a low mountain range and the storms come in from...

    First Snow & First Time With Plow

    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...

    New Snow Dogg Plow for RTV900

    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...

    Doors for RTV X900

    I like that plow. Is that a RTV900 or an RTVX900? I have a 2010 RTV900 and am thinking about a plow for it. I presently plow snow with a loaded on an old John Deere Tractor with no cab and thinking this would be a better way to go. I looked up the Snow Dog plows online and there are several...

    Snow Plow Plans

    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...

    Evacuator Valve Question

    I think I found the right part number. It is TA040-93250. I have a RTV900T9T2 and that setup is different from most of the others. I will take the old part when I drive 40 miles to the dealer to see if they have one.
