You might want to consider pulling the radiator and having it boiled. My Kubota L2800 tractor was regularly overheating recently. Cleaned the radiator and I my temp now rarely rises above "C" even under heavy load in summer heat. I should have done it three years ago.

Hi Vince. Looks JD Power's estimate would price that somewhere north of $5,500, but that changes based on accessories, lights, windshield, etc. I'll share observations from my impulse purchase of 2004 RTV900 a few years back through a national farm equipment auction site. The cabbed...

Bow-deer season opened recently in Wisconsin. My son and I were giddy about relocating an old ladder stand today and I suggested we could use the box our RTV900 to reach those overhanging branches before tipping it up. Unfortunately, things went south and I crushed the deployed gate on the big...

My shed isn't nearby, but here's a commercial version being sold by Ace. You can create one in minutes, using scrap. I used a defunct crossbow bolt as a rod to suspend the can between sides of the bucket.

Up here in Wisconsin, we (thankfully) don't have many rats in our open sheds, but I regularly do battle with legions of mice. I've tried the minty/wintergreen rodent packages with modest success, but old-fashioned mothballs seem to work best. I lay open packets in the engine compartment, under...

Many thanks to all for the advice. I'll try the remedies tomorrow!

When I (literally) mothballed our 2009 RTV (new engine with less than 50 hrs) to its unheated shed home in December, the machine ran like a top. On Saturday, I reinstalled the charged battery, but the engine wouldn't even turn over although dash lights indicated glow-plug was operating. Is there...

Thanks for the great advice. I did not reach out to them before dealing with Curtis and my area dealer. Looks very much like the correct part -- considerably cheaper than the Kubota dealer "network". I appreciate the suggestion!

Hi all. Hoping someone can help! I've hit a wall with Kubota and Curtis Tractor cabs -- manufacturer of the aftermarket fiberglass cab (FOPS #V42147, ser.# 184733) on our 2007 RTV900. Top hinge on driver's side door became bent when door flew open during transport. Attempts to refabricate aren't...

To the UTV inventory question ... when I last spoke with Lulich Implement a year ago (Kubota dealership for far northern Wisconsin/Lake Superior region) they had nothing due to lots of homebound Baby Boomers with excess cash, and supply-chain issues. Same windshield observations at dealerships...

Hi all. Thanks for the wisdom shared. Problem turned out to be a floppy accelerator cable at the rear end. Fluky deal. Probably wasn't properly tightened during the overhaul. We're back in the woods!

Thanks, BCZoom. I took a quick look, but noticed nothing out of the ordinary. A friend suggests it may be as simple as low hydraulic fluid. Since the machine had just been reassembled with the new engine, it may have taken a while to purge air from the system, and subsequently, more fluid is...

Hi all. Just replaced engine & radiator in my 2007 RTVX900. Complete overhaul, essentially. Machine performed great for mechanic, and operated fine when loaded, unloaded, and took it for a short spin. Day later, I restarted, moved the machine, let it idle a spell. When I tried to engage the...
