Thanks for making the video. I just picked up a new 1100c and v plow on Monday. I opted to install the plow myself. Should have it done today. Bring on the snow!
Great video!! I use the kubota 1100 with a snowblower and a pull-plow for all my residential properties. It works great!! Just wish it could hold a higher speed up hills.
got a 2012 rtv1100 love it. had to adjust the belts on it and it is very easy. got a snow plow for it and made the mistake of not buying a good quality plow. my father-n-law was buying the plow and even with me paying for half refused to buy a boss or western or snowex. so it hasn't held help that well. but planning to buy a new own soon and will get a package deal. but man can 1100 plow. i even put chains on the back tires so i dont have to use 4wd and what a beast. i plowed 18 inches of snow with it and had no problem. had a polaris and will never own one again. dont need to go fast just need it for work around the farm.
@@seanforney24 yes they are. My 1100 has low medium and high, I looked at the new owns I and if I remember correctly the only have low and high. We us medium the most. For everything I use it for don't need high. The is the only thing about the x1100s I don't like even my Kubota dealer said he's not sure why they took away medium. But everything else I like. Sweet machine and one heck of a work horse
Awesome rig and thanks for the video. Sure does make it fun doesn't it. To tighten up the spring tension so it doesn't trip so easily there's a nut (3/4") if I remember correctly directly above the vertical springs.
@@seanforney24 Just checked it's actually a 15/16" nut. I cranked mine down quite a bit dealing with frozen drifts up in these parts. Your vertical springs are directly in the middle of the plow behind a cover with two plastic push pins. No need to take off the cover the nut is right on top.
I have that same set up on my 2019 polaris ranger north star and I didn't do anything with my shocks but turned them up to make them stiffer I have no problems I take it all over it is a heavy plow 420 lbs
I have had the same machine on my farm for the past 5 years here in Iowa. It's an animal, and I bought my blade through rtv hitchworks and ran 4 hydraulic outlets off the front and back I used to use the hydraulic 3 point on the back of mine for discing small fields it had 800 lbs of down force but now I just use the blade on the front unfortunately we get allot of snow and like you I plow all my neighbors that are older or just need help for free, I have had snow rolling 2ft above the blade but I have chains from Kubota for all 4 tires it will plow up a 60 ft hill !! But I bent the bracketing twice now. The Kubota is way tougher than the plows in real heavy snow. I wonder what the toughest plow is ? Ps. I get the same belt squeak I use spray belt dressing.
Also I have feet on my plow and after a few years I found when the blade is down I adjust the feet to leave about 1 1/2 in of clearance from the blade to a concrete slab then on gravel you never push it or scrape the grass but the feet will bring a little gravel to the surface for traction especially on my hill, no more gravel in the yards ,
I have one of these RTV’s on order. Do you know if the Boss plow will work if the RTV is on tracks! Is the lift cylinder long enough to drop the plow even lower to accommodate the added machine height the tracks would provide? You could drive your machine front tires up on some ramps and test this in a video if you had a chance! Thanks, Jason
@@seanforney24 awesome! The dealer told me they didn’t think their k-connect system would work. The Boss looks like it might sit out a little further and if the cylinder has the length, it might work!
@@OakMountainAcotts It doesn't matter how far the cylinder drops, you'll never be able to get the correct angle on the plow to make it level. You could make it work but it would require a custom mounting bracket to lower the entire plow frame. Also, I'm not entirely positive but I feel like you couldn't use the plow in the V position without hitting the tracks.

I've been plowing snow for 25 years and the novelty of doing it is long over, cool to see someone enjoy it.

Only downfall of them is their speed, total freaking workhorses though!
there great sidewalk machines the kubota rtvs
Nice Video!
Greetings from the Austrian Alps!
Dude just watched some of your videos. Loving the equipment reviews. Also jealous haha.
absolutely love the kubota RTV 1100C!!! awesome video man.

It’s amazing what these things are capable of!

I have the same setup here on the east coast of Canada. Incredible machine and can plow exceptionally well.
Where u 2? Did you compare to Western? Just shopping, I’m in Cape Breton.
@@fredmackay7896 I was going to install a straight blade but went with the v blade as it is great for moving snow with no spillage. I am in NL.
Awesome rig and thanks for the video. Sure does make it fun doesn't it. To tighten up the spring tension so it doesn't trip so easily there's a nut (3/4") if I remember correctly directly above the vertical springs.
Awesome, thank you! About to go out this evening to do some plowing. Will tighten that up and give it a try.

Thank you, that’s good to know. Dealer told me I’d have to upgrade.
@@seanforney24 your welcome 2018 on they made beefier but the kabota is way heavy duty tractor like .thanks for the video
Pretty cool

Any problems with shifting reverse , forward etc
That was at first but after you learn the sweet spot it’s not bad. Sometimes I apply the brake and it makes it easier.
Hello
I have the same setup, what tires do you recommend? mine is due for new tires.Thank you
I really like the factory ones. They seem to do great, no complaints.
@@seanforney24 thank you
If you wanted to put similar setup on the Polaris North Star with heavy duty shocks do you think you’d have any issues? Thanks
I think it’s prolly be ok to handle it.

I’ll check tomorrow as we’re expecting some snow. I believe you’ll be good though!
@@seanforney24 awesome! The dealer told me they didn’t think their k-connect system would work. The Boss looks like it might sit out a little further and if the cylinder has the length, it might work!

@@justind6039 it might need a custom connector to help with that. I guess I’ll now more once I get it here with the tracks on it. Thanks!
Do you prefer the v plow to the straight blade plow?
I do, especially doing smaller areas, it comes in handy being able to adjust it
What price is this beast ?
We got it with 31 hours on it for a heck of a deal. I believe with this plow kit, it is somewhere in the upper $20k range.
More please!
you should get a mount for your camera, i was getting seasick
Haha, I’ll use it next time.
Curious: WD40 on a belt? Are these drive belts, and if so why put WD40 on it?
Alternator belt, I just use it to quiet the belt down until I get the new one on it.
Neighbors helping neighbors. Don't see that to much these days.
With cool things comes ugly cash I don’t like ugly but cool thing I can’t afford
