New RTV500

[amigauser]

Another happy Barlow purchase. This is the third item I have purchased from Brady and they all went smoothly

I actually took delivery the middle of January but I wanted to clean it up before taking some pics for TBN. It got pretty dirty in transit from Kentucky to Connecticut. The weather has not been good enough until this weekend for me to get the hose out and clean it up.

The only weird thing is the steering wheel does not appear to be centered? I know with tractors the streering wheel basically spins due to the way the power steering works but I do not believe the RTV500 steering works the same way. I need to find out how to remove the wheel to correct it. Anybody know how to do it?

Very nice, but isn't your wife going to be upset that she has to park outside now??

Actually the garage is deep enough to park the RTV in front of the wife's Sebring Conv. The garage is 24 x 32 so it is like a 3 car garage with the door on the wrong end so plenty of space in the back behind the two cars. I actually had 3 cars plus the RTV in there at one point. One car was sideways in the back of the garage on car dollies. Down to just two cars now though.

The steering wheel pic shows her Sebring in front of the RTV in the garage.

Very nice...I loved my 500...Centering the wheel is easy, lift pull the plastic cap, remove the wheel nut and pull the steering wheel off, might might some very light "help".....Make sure you're tires are straight and re-install..Might take a couple of tries if you're going for perfection.

WOW, In English please.

Sounds like a phone post...Based on the "smart phone" Rosetta Stone I believe he's advocating procuring the push bar...And I agree.

Did you happen to drive the new RTV 400? I'm curious how it performs.
