Anyone have a Polaris RZR 800, the 50" version? How do you like it? I currently have a Sportsman 570 2up Touring and I'd rather have my disabled daughter beside me rather than behind me for safety reasons....And I still want it to fit in my shed(s)...Don't need a race car in any way and I've...

Have a Z724...Cold starts are very quick with no issues. Seems when I restart after mowing (5-15 min after) it sometimes has difficulty getting to WOT RPM. Never stalls but seems to struggle for 10 seconds or so. All new filters etc...Any ideas? Also, since this was new it will puff what...

Anyone have an Eastwood Mig? Was looking at the Mig/Tig combo...Not sure I really need the Tig. My old Mig is fizzling out and thinking of replacing it. Just curious about the Eastwood performance/reliability..Already perused the migs of Lincoln and Miller. Mostly sheet metal--Occasional 1/4...

Well, I asked you guys about a High Country diesel a few months ago--had a tuner etc. Decided against it (good advise, by they way) Spent my usual stupid amount of time deciding on what to do. After towing (again) from the mountains and thinking I'm gonna die, I bought a new GMC 2500 Duramax. So...

Guys, Yesterday coming home from camp my trailer running lights stopped working (parking lights) -- my brake and turn signals work fine. Rice trailer with LED. What do you think--Ground possibly? Picked up a screw and destroyed a tire too--Not a great day to say the least.

Lightly looking at a 2017 Chevy LTZ 2500 Duramax. Since it has aftermarket tail lights (why?) and some other stuff, I asked if it had a tuner. Dealer (honestly) said yes for MPG (What all people say)...Anyway..It has 21k on it and I certainly don't want to have a voided 100k warranty due to it...

We have an OLD (1996) Craftsman 42" lawn tractor that we use to cut grass at camp. It runs and looks almost like new. Recently, the mower deck has decided not to disengage. The Engagement arm hangs up about 2/3 of the way down and can't be forced any further. If I run it around some rough areas...

Blew a tire on my 32' Winnebago TT and it trashed the OEM wheel. Of course, Winnebago can't supply a replacement wheel (it's aluminum) and I want the new one to match. Anyone know of a good source? Tried e-trailer and some of the obvious ones but nothing matches and I really don't want to buy...

I have a power pole that some years ago took a little shock when a tree fell on the right of way and the power company's pole moved. It's leaning a bit now due to that and some vines and branches that have grown onto the pole and wires. I have a tree guy coming next week to clear the power lines...

Had a scary one yesterday--Going up a 30 degree'ish hill (maybe too fast) and the front end of my ZD724 stood straight up. There is a 45 degree bend in the frame work on the rear that dug into the sod and stabilized the mower until I could unlock my elbows from the armrest to back off the...

Blew out a tire on my 32' TT...Oddly I didn't know it happened- no noise, handling issues--Nothing. A guy pulled up in town and said the tire blew apart about 1/8 of a mile ago and was riding on the rim. Scary to say the least since I had been on the road for over 2 hours on 4 lanes. Guess I...

Got a question for you guys...I have a 8'x50' non-climate controlled storage area under my concrete front porch (no roof, yet). Problem is, the steel decking likes to sweat. I have a dehumidifier running all year and I spray foamed the corrigated spaces against the block to prevent the chimney...

Wow, very nice running truck...Loaner from the dealer while mine is getting an oil change and inspection. Smooth running and very nice looking truck. If mine fell off the lift I wouldn't feel too bad. :D 1400 miles on it and the best MPG showing is almost 23MPG..Not bad for a 5.3 with 3:42's...

Anyone own one that can give me the good and bad?...Please no Ford/Dodge gas/diesel thing I am well aware..Looking at a High country 2500 HD Duramax...My last diesel was pre current emissions. Yes I will pull with it.. Any honest opinions are welcome before I buy this..6000 miles. Buyers...

Let's preface this by me saying that I loathe house painting..That being said, what is the best method to paint interior Masonite doors? I don't want to roll/brush. I do have a Binks HVLP air gun for painting cars (I do like that) but I don't want to trash the gun. Is an airless better, or...

Thinking about the S model 100 series...Getting opinions on going to the 700 series by the dealer..Is the $2000-$2500 difference really worth it? Was also looking at the Cub Commercial versions but there isn't a ROPS although the 4wheel steering is compelling. Had a lousy experience with Cub on...

My neighbor has a 2010 2500 Dodge with integrated brake controller and 7 pin trailer plug. There is no auxiliary power or break away 12v power at in the plug, everything else works. There are 2 30A fuses under the hood J01 and J02 if I remember correctly. Main question, are Dodge 7 pins fully...

My neighbor just bought a new Mule 610 XE (very sharp by the way). Anyone know if/where a glass windshield might exist for one of these? So far cursory Google searches are yielding nothing but plastic...Thx

Seems the Gong Show staple has passed. I was a little kid when this was going on so I really don't remember it but I watched a few of these You Tube's and haven't laughed this hard in a really long time. I give you that it's juvenile, absurd and has no socially redeeming value--So what's not to...

Tire comes off, hits oncoming car, kills 1 on Route 28 | TribLIVE This is very sad and preventable.

Don't want to start a war like I've seen on other forums, so here goes:...I am finishing the 2nd floor of my house, a true Cape Cod style with 2 bedrooms and a full bath...I had the spray guy come out due to the notorious difficulty of HVAC in capes...I have the ductwork stubbed up there...

Ok..We camp at a campground with woefully inadequate shore power...So, in the summer I will need to power my AC to keep my daughter comfortable. I have been looking at the Honda 2K's run in series that produce 4k overall, this will power my 15K AC unit and other sundry sources. Question is...

Heard about his crap from other manufacturers...Just to rotate your tires requires a $500 scan tool to reset the TPMS..Really?..This really pases me oof (as they say in England). $30at the dealer..But I'm going to buy the tool anyway..Good grief, they really want to can the DIY?...Guess so.

Have a tandem with zerks behind rubber caps. They aren't bearing buddies. I shot about 10 (air gun) blasts of grease into each assembly and there was no overflow..Is this normal? How do you know if there's too much or not enough?...I can see the locknut behind the zerk.

While at camp this past weekend we got on the subject of 6.0 diesels..While one guy did the pre-emptive repairs to his ford F350 6.0, the other guy followed the dealer recommendation when his failed which accounted for $5600 in repaiers (egr, turbo, coolers etc)... Question...He wants to dump...

I have a 1997 Class C Ford motorhome with a V10....Last time we took it to the mountains it started surging under load (kinda like a miss but feels like surging) and it threw the CE light...Cleaned the MAF and replaced the fuel filter--MAF was trashed....Took it out this weekend and it's still...

I have a 97 E-450 V10 motorhome...Problem is on occasion when I try to start it, all of the dash lights come up and I can hear a click...After messing around with it for a few times, it will crank over and start. The battery is fine... I'm thinking ignition switch, any other...

Picked it up this moning...16'x82" with sides, tool box, LED's, lift assist gate and powdercoat...Pretty much everything I have been looking for....I know that some don't like gates, but for my purposes, this works perfectly...If I have to put a large car on it, I'll probably have to remove the...

My BX makes a clicking noise (sounds like a few pieces of gravel hitting the mower deck) for the first 30 seconds of run time when it's cold...After that the noise is gone...Doesn't seem to be valves and it sounds like it's coming from the front of the engine...The air filter bracket is fine adn...

It's going to take me a while to get used to the "upgrade"...Opinions? I think the last version was cleaner...maybe it's just me.

What's the most tongue weight anyone out there has put on an RTV1100? I believe it's listed at 300...reason I ask is that my neighbor bought a new travel trailer and they will need to move it into final position in a tight area...We were going to position it with the 1100 once the pull vehicle...

My '04 BX23's fuel guage is starting to act up...Sometimes when idling at drops to "E" then comes back up without any tractor movement..It sometimes does this while driving it as well... I'm being very lazy, but I figured I'd ask the experts before I try to figure it out... Kept in a climate...

Anyone out there put a cat-back dual exhaust system on a 6.2 GMC? The pickings are kind of lean...I found an MBRP system that looks pretty good. I really wanted T304, but this is T409 which I believe is a less corrosion resistant stainless. Question I have is: Can the factory sewer pipe...

For those who didn't see this...Figured the trasportation section would be a good place to put this.. Posted by Cat Driver on another thread: Delivering one last gift | Video | 9news.com

Anyone have one of these that wasn't happy with the high-beams?...Low beams are fantastic with the running lights....High beams are awful. For reasons I still don't get, the running lights shut off with the high beams.. Aside from installing the blinger "bluelights" any other suggestions...

Chris, Given that you write very detailed GM fault posts....Figured I'd throw this out there in good fun..Just sayin':D... Just a mild counter to the anti-GM posts. I don't doubt that a Titan is a fine truck, but bias can be found anywhere. Not so hot buy's from YAHOO Auto...Not that they...

After spending the evening at my buddies shop, he had an 04 V10 F350 in for a failed fuel rail and frozen brakes...Had 50K on it. Well maintained truck. I looked at the motor and he said that the exhaust manifold studs had to be replaced..He refused to do it and doesn't know how they were...

Ok guys, these questions are going to be vague because I don't know much about this RV that me and SHMBO are going to look at. Her parents neighbor has what I believe is an early 2000's Class C Ford motorhome. From what I've seen, they tend to be V10's or Diesels. Is there any particular...

My '11 Sierra 6.2 is coming due for it's first oil change..Was debating running Mobil1 in it...Anyone else do this, and how has it worked out?...I've always used Castrol GTX and have had great performance from that. Debating whether the added expense is actually worth it or not.

After 1.5 weeks here's my thoughts if anyone cares: So far, the 6.2 is getting around 17MPG, 50% highway and 50% local. Just fine by my opinion. Same as my previous 5.3. The 6 speed is an incredible tranny. No gear hunting whatsoever. Barely notice when it shifts. I live in an area with...

Looking at a 2011 GMC SLE 4x4 extra cab 6.2. Has more bling than I want...I hate leather, but it has it. The only thing I'm not thrilled about is the 3:42's. It's pretty much a Denali without the misc stuff. Has regular 4wd, which I prefer as opposed to the Denali AWD. Has the towing package...

I'm thinking about buying a new 110v mig. The one I have is a budget version that I bought 15 years ago. It has served me well, but it takes some work to put down a nice bead with it. I've used Millers...They seem to do a nice job. Also looking at Lincoln. Any opinions on the 2 brands. Will be...

Even though Muhammad Chishti isn't a "member" but the purveyor of the site, where would we be without him? I must say this is probably the best forum site on the net. Well contolled, but not too controlled. I think many of us would like to see a profile of him.

My 2004 GMC is pushing 100K with no issues and am debating buying a new one. I know, I'm turning into a sissy moving on with that many miles, but I've run the last 3 GM pickups to 200K. I really don't have to do that anymore. Looking at: GMC 1500 4x4 extra cab w/ 6.5ft bed. Tow package is...

Anyone out there change the factory headliner speakers in an RTV1100?...The factory ones are awful, sounds like a transistor radio. If so, what size are they? I really don't want to tear out the healiner to find out if I can avoid it. Any fit problems with aftermarket speakers? Thanks...i...

Beaver man killed in tractor accident Tuesday, September 07, 2010 By Paula Reed Ward, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette A man from Beaver was killed Sunday when he was dragged underneath a tractor. Richard D. Porter, 52, was working with his cousin to move large logs onto a trailer with the tractor about...

Last time I greased my 04 GMC 4x4 the grease began squirting back out of the passenger side upper ball joint zerk. When I depressed the pin with a drift, it stopped. Opposite of what should happen. Does anyone know if the zerk is pressed in or threaded? I tried to turn it, but it didn't seem to...

I need to be able to haul my BX23 TLB and RTV1100 along with the Chevelle once in a while. I've been looking around W. Pa and E. Ohio and the prices are all over the map with no real obvious difference in quality or accessories. Anyone in this area have any suggestion on dealers or...

Urban sculptor killed by breakaway trailer Everybody together...Safety chains not used or not properly applied. Why does this kind of thing happen? Most of a family was killed by a commercial wood chipper that broadsided their minivan a couple of years ago. The guy hauling it was on something...

Does your 1100 hold a hill with the PB?...Parked mine on the driveway and found it 25ft down the hill 10 minutes later...Dont tell me that the PB is as good as the BX with the wet brake system...

Well..It showed up..So far I like it. Has plenty of power for what I need. Ran it down the hill that caused me so much grief on the 500. Buried the speedo going down, and went close to 20 on the way back up in high range. Can't complain about that. Heat and A/C are outstanding. Tested the heat...

Anybody have an RTV1100 that could offer some opinions...Likes/Dislikes. I'm considering trading the 500 for one of these..Just don't want to make a really expensive mistake. The wife is all for it, so gotta strike while the iron is hot:D

Will the snow please stop!!! I literally have no where else to put it. Have piles 5 ft high and the snow is still coming down..I usually like plowing..Not anymore. Did 9 driveways and my 1000ft right away just to try to get ahead of this. Probably be out after work tomorrow night...No mas! No mas!

Given the state of the economy, you would think that all businesses would be bending over backwards to keep cusomers happy so that they come back. I bought my wife a Hummer H3, slightly used but not cheap, for her 40th birthday. A week later the TPM service light came on..No big deal. Took it...

Been hunting around for a drywall lift to finish the ceiling in the shop. Is there some issue with 12', which is what my ceiling is? Everything I can find is 11'...That ain't gonna work. Don't want to build a platform under the lift to get to the height that I need. Can't rent either, this...

I have a 48ft storage area under my front porch that is covered with 7" of concrete with steel decking underneath. It's turning into a rain forest in there from water dripping off of the steel. Only really happens when the temperature drops. Has anyone tried putting styrofoam on the steel to...

Ok, those of us who have RTV500's I have a few questions. This is to show Kubota that Matt's advise did not cut into service visits. That's the only reason that I can figure that he's been silenced, since no one has heard from him in weeks. 1)-Who complained, repeatedly, to their dealers about...

I'm getting concerned that Matt has dissapeard from the board. I hope that Kubota didn't silence him for helping us out where our dealers would not.

Anyone had the threaded rod bend going into the top link on the 3PH? The threads are barely exposed on either end, but it's bent and jammed in the assembly. Happend using a landsape rake, nothing excessive. Is this a common occurrance on this style of link?...The one on my 8N never had an issue...

Matt, Tom & Stonehaller, Thanks for all of the suggestions on how to get the max intended performance out of this machine. I put the unloaded max RMPS at 4010, it was 3650. I had to buy a microprocesser contolled timing light that relieved me of a Ben Franklin to do this, but it was worth it...

RTV owners...Stonehaller and I have had some discussions about this, and his help has been outstanding. My question is this: When you are going uphill with the gas pedal mashed, does your RTV downshift (like a regular auto tranny), or do you have to let up on the gas to cause the downshift? In...

Anyone know where I can get a FEL toothbar for a BX23. The standard ones are 48" ID on the BX bucket is 46 3/8 ID. I know I could cut and weld, but I'd like one that fits correctly.

Any of you guys that have an RTV500 have a clicking noise when you slow down from speed after it's well warmed up?...I have the normal whine, but it clicks pretty loud about 30-50 ft before coming to a stop. It's so loud that my wife heard it from 100 ft away. Before I call and complain, just...

Anybody else out there own RTV500's besides me and 737?... Give us some updates on the idle rattle, did you add any accessories or increase the power? Give us you opinions on this machine.

This may have been asked before, but is there existing wiring near the ROPS for a rear work light?...If so where is it...I really don't want to run a bunch of wire if I don't need to..And does it tie into the headlights, or do I need another switch...Digging by 4way is no fun:D

Seems that me and 737pilot are the only ones posting about this machine...I think we both would like to hear other opinions, likes and dislikes, modifications etc...Anyone?

As I was installing worklights on my RTV...I looked at the warning lables that are plastered all over the dash...If I followed all of them I would leave it in the garage as I would be afraid of driving it...Really, Those of us who buy this stuff, are we really that stupid??? I guess someone...

It was suggested I post this question on this board...Any ideas anyone? Has anyone heard of a way to increase the power of a 500?...Just took mine up to feed the deer. The feeder is at the top of a long grade, although not that steep. Running it in low range, it began to run out of RPM's even...

Has anyone heard of a way to increase the power of a 500?...Just took mine up to feed the deer. The feeder is at the top of a long grade, although not that steep. Running it in low range, it began to run out of RPM's even though I was letting off the pedal to downshift...Still, it started to...

Has anyone installed one of those 12v heaters in a UTV?...If so where did you install it?...The space is limited, to say the least..Mine is an Kubota RTV500. Not much space under the dash, or anywhere else for that matter. The only obvious location is the glove box...Is that it? Pictures if...
