I take my 1100 through the woods, mild hill climbs and creek beds all the time. Never had it stuck, but I'm not mud bogging it either. That's not what it's designed for.

It can do much more than pastures and roads with common sense.

DITTO!!!!

The RTV is "NOT" a recreational UTV, but is a work horse. I have mine in the woods quite often and have to ford a small creek to get to some of my acreage. This crossing is a layer of sand over black mud where I got stuck, but I have also gotten the tractor stuck there as well, not to mention the pumpers on the neighbors land with their 4wheel drive trucks. The RTV runs my trails real well, but will in no way compete against a sport UTV. No, it probably would not run the Rubicon but that is not what it was built for.

Thanks for the link! I had no idea any such attachment existed for the RTV, it looks very handy.

I couldn't imagine having a cab on an RTV. The only benefit I see is during the winter time snow plowing. I guess I don't know what you guys are doing with yours. I'm in and out of mine all the time. AC/Heat would be a waste. Cab would get in the way in the woods. I haul firewood and tools related to the job at hand. If I want to go for a joy ride, I still get the openess feel of an ATV. To each their own I guess.

I believe for the OP it is a health issue and will be for me one day; not a matter of "want" so much as "need".

Thank you, I have heard that these get great traction with the tracks. Which tracks are you using?

Sorry for the delayed reply but I use to come to site a lot but not so much anymore. Those are Soucy tracks made in Canada.Try here www.soucy-track.com

It's just the rules, man!

But Congrats if you actually have it. Had to pull my new RTV1140 out yesterday to retrieve my Grands and Pete after they slid down my front yard a few times on a Toboggan.
