WELCOME TO THE FORUM, It's thefriendliest place on planet earth ~~~~~~~</p>
Go to:</p>

That will give you a idea of the cost of the oil / filters for your RTV 900 . May I make a simple suggestion, when going back with your transmission fluid, go back with the Super UDT, machine runs stronger and smoother !!!!</p>
Something else, if you plan doing any service work or tinkering on your unit yourself, do yourself and the machine a favor and purchase the RTV 900 shop manual, it's worth it's weight in gold.</p>
What are your plans with your RTV ??????? What are you planning on installing on the new machine. Another suggestion, REMOVE THE SPARK ARESSTOR ( If your not running on Goverment Property ) and pick yourself one of them High Rise Intakes for the 900. Also, look at this link:</p>

The machine has been great as long as I keep it out of peat boggs!</p>

Get yourself a nice set of deeper gripper tires and don't have to worry 'bout the peat boggs anymore !!!</p>

i second the motion about the big grips .the other day i hooked onto my 16' scrap iron trailer that weighed a little over 1200lbs dry(unloaded) and it had just a few pounds over 5100lbs of iron on it.when i lowered it down onto my reciever hitch it bent it about 3" down . then when i got on the hpx and started it up and locked the rearend up and gave it gas the front tires came off the ground i felt like i was in a tractor pulling contest. well i took off with the tires about 6"off the ground and lucky i just had to go in a straight line but there was a muddy spot in my yard where the mud was really soft and yousink about 6"/7" sometimes more i went through that without even spinning a tires . there was so much weight on the rear tires plus the grip of the 27"589's was workin just right.here are some pictures . oh here's another thought for anyone who wants to know if their rtv can pull so much weight i pulled this amount wich was right at or should i say just under 6200lbs . now i done that with a belt drive machine rated to pull a max of 2k the belt never slipped and the engine never sputtered so just thing what a rtv can do with the tranny it has. this is 3x over the max limit i was supose to haul .</p>

I have heard of some dealers charging that much for a full transmission / engine service work ....</p>
A owner can not only save Big $$$$$$$ by doing his own service, but can also learn more about his machine by doing it him / her self >>>>></p>
That's why I tell so many folks, when purchasing, make the dealer throw in the first service free. It's a big plus on the dealing table ~~~~~

Thanks for all of the information. The servicing ended up a tad over $280. She runs likes a top.</p>
I appreciate the comments on the high traction tires. I seem to have issues on sand at steep inclines and deep mud too.</p>
I did buy the additional manuals and plan on doing my own service from here on out as long as I have the time.</p>
