It's Home!!

Went to my dealer today. Northshore Tractor in Echo Bay. The owners Tom and Vic and the whole staff treat me like gold. I can't believe the inventory they constantly get, sell and get more. No covid shortages there. Both Kubota and John Deere.
But for this thread we will stick to RTV's.

And posting here first since this is the best site I have found for RTV info and advice. I absolutely love this thing!!!

Got the spray in bedliner, turn signal kit, block heater, stereo with remote, Warn 4500 pound receiver hitch mounted winch with remote and wiring front and rear, LED lights front and rear and the Orange Aftermarket rear protection plate.
The Boss Power Vee XT 6.6 foot plow will be in at end of July.

This one is way quieter inside and shifts far better than the first one I test drove.

And they threw in all the parts and service manuals on a cool little flash drive, and a couple Kubota hoodies and hats for the wife and me.

Congrats on your new purchase. You will,love the machine as it will provide years of dependable service.

Congrats. I'll 2nd what Mork said.

Thanks. May not be fast but love it WAY more than my Polaris's.

I can't explain it, but a year or two ago when I first took one out for a ride at my dealer, I was video taping from inside, and in my video you can hear me say to my wife and son who were also in it...."man this thing is loud inside. I wouldn't even put the radio in it."

But the one I just bought is way quieter? Not sure if Kubota improved something, or if it has something to do with the PDI setup? But I can easily listen to the radio and talk to the passenger in this one.
So far I am VERY happy.

Went for a 36 mile trail ride from my house today. It is louder than I would like when you are wide open, but not unbearable. But I was surprised at how nice it rides and handles. The wife and I both said that was a far more enjoyable ride than being on the ATV's. Stayed dry, clean and warm, LOL

Never used 4WD. It will go through stuff in 2WD that my ATV's won't do in 2WD.

I did notice I will have to add a washer behind that Orange Aftermarket rear protection plate. It just touches the PTO cover just enough to rattle at a certain RPM.

There is a lot you can do to lower the cab noise on this machine. I posted a article about what I did to my 1100C which eliminated any dust from inside the cab and lowered the noise by 50% or more. Made the ride much more pleasurable.

Yes, I looked at your post Mork. Not sure if I have the patience to do all that, LOL You did a good job though.
