Kubota RTV900 for steep clayish hill in high altitude

Good advice.

They didn't use very good paint, not much will stick well to that stuff.

Cliff,
USE THE KRYLON FUSION. It has superbonding properties and works
great on plastics and other items that other paint don't seem to "cling" to.

.............. two guns.

Wow!

The babe must have adequate equipment to hide the gun! :5boobs: :yum:
 
Rod1,

What is your dealer telling you now ?

Has he come ahead and let you test fire a RTV ?

Hi, TWO GUNS.

It's my fault now because he called for an appointment but I wasn't available. This week, I think, it will be possible.

If your two guns are Gatlings like that, you're really dangerous. :wall: :yum:
 
Hi, my friends.

Maybe I overestimate the incline of my slope. I have some photos but I couldn't attach them to the post. I thought it was as easy as an email, but I just realized I was wrong. My photos are in my computer, so there is no URL for them.
 
Like Brian said, it's really not bad once you get used to the system. You sure don't need an url for your pics. You simply browse to them on your computer and then upload them. PM me if you have questions on the process after reading the thread Brian linked to.

I know some of my hills which sure are steep to drive on but in pics do not look near as bad. Don't know why, but I know some will sure give you a big pucker factor but in a pic it does not show the same way.

Some place used to sell a tilt meter which would attach to your tractor or RTV and it would show you the degree of slope of whatever hill you are driving on. I can't recall or find the site name for that now. Haven't seen a tilt meter mentioned for quite a few years.
 
:nopics:

Thanks for your help but I tried to attach those images and all I got was this message:

"Your submission could not be processed because a security token was missing.

If this occurred unexpectedly, please inform the administrator and describe the action you performed before you received this error."

What can I do?

That's easy.
Find your Security Token and deposit. Then upload pictures.

Post Script:
Go to your PM !!!!

They indicate both going up or down a slope and across........For me, 20 degrees gets me puckering and 25 is a "stop what you are doing".........I live and work constantly on 15 to 20 degree slopes and these things are totally a must have tool.

What's even worse is my main pasture is on that 15 to 20 degree angle and the pasture dogs, Anatolian Shepherd, dig bomb craters from a B52 strike while trying to eliminate field mice.........Often times while mowing or working in that pasture across the slope on encounters these craters without knowing they are there.........TALK about PUCKERING.....When the down slope wheel goes down on a 20 degree slope gets one to hangin on tight.........

Anyway, a very worthwhile device if you encounter slopes...........God bless......Dennis

Sorry Rod but when that happens I first restart the browser (all windows) and many times that fixes the issue. If that does not fix it I do the good ole REBOOT. Shut off the computer, leave it off for 20 seconds or so and then turn it back on. That fixes it every time. I just hate to reboot. I always have way to many windows open (which helps cause the problem I'd guess) ..so rebooting is a major pain, but sometimes you have to do it.

Good luck.

¡HURRAH! I did it. I think the problem were my large images (more than 2 Mb each one). I reduced them to a bit more than 200 Kb each one and began to attach them one by one. After I succeeded for the second time, I attached the rest and the system accepted them, in spite of the fact that I haven't reduced all of them. Maybe it's why the last two have a larger size (more than 100 Kb).

Well, you see on the first image (515) the lighter part of the slope, then the harder part seen downward (518) and upward (528 and 530). Maybe you can see a bike trace (528). Looking at some images (531) I discovered the slope is lighter than I thought (around 17° on the screen). But a good "practical" idea of the incline is a horse slip on 529, with my foot for scale.

Now, you know that slope with dry soil. It's a quite different thing in rainy days with that sticky clay.

Hi, D&D.

Maybe I'll by this toy too, thanks for the idea. My inclinometer was a protractor measuring on the computer screen

Hi, Doc.

I don't know if your method contributed for the "happy end" but it's solved now. Thanks for the suggestion.
 
Good pics Rod. My hills are much like yours. I have one short section near the bottom of my river hill that gets extra steep and can give me fits when towning stuff up the hill (that was with my ATV, prior to my RTV). I have been up and down the hill with the RTV with no issues. I have not towed with the RTV yet, but once weather warms up I will be hauling lumber, compressor and generator all down the hill for a dock building project. then I'll be hauling the compressor, generator and leftovers back up the hill. It will be a good workout for the RTV but I have no doubt it will be up to the task.
I'll try to remember to get some pics of my hills this weekend as temps are supposed to get up to mid 50's.
 
My hills are like that and I climb them without issue.

I do like using the hand throttle when climbing the steep parts. With the hand throttle, you can raise and set the RPM's higher before pushing the pedal so the speed is independent of the engine RPM's.
