RTV1100 Delivered Yesterday

[timswi]

Thanks Randy,

That's what I did..Tthe rear of the plate just sits on the ductwork. No attachment points anywhere( for the plate that is). Guess that's the way it is.

Need to pull it back out and put more bushings on it. The radio isn't level in the dash, once the foam on the ductwork matted down. Kind of a cheezy design. They could have done a little better on that one.

We did not put a radio in ours the university would frown on that, they only buy the 1100 because it is cheaper to buy than putting a cab on the 900's. Our cord is actually bunched up and hangs below the dash. The face plate covering the radio hole was rattling so I made some masking tape spacers to stop that.

The ones on this look similar to the cotter pins on the RTV500, never had a problem with them..What happened to yours? I don't want to buy new ones, that's for sure.

Mine would spin while plowing and get bent and work there way out of the hole.I ended up changing my whole curtis plow setup to a heavier skid shoe,and 1/2 cutting edge and got rid the electric lift, and went full hyro lift&angle changed front set up to more heavy duty and angle without loosing my dump bed lift.My kubota dealer said it could not be done but the good folks at michigan iron and equipment proved that different.coobie

I actually don't use the skid shoes. I am going to attach a machine belt to the bottom of the plow as I did on the 500. This plow is a little lighter, so that should work even better.

Got any pics of the new setup? That sounds nice.

Did they add a separate hydro controller to run different stuff. Mine only has one controller, ergo the dump bed is disconnected at the quick connects in the rear.

The joy stick setup I have now put the orginal curtis one to shame.coobie
