I have the chains but haven't put them on, usually after we get snow the rains come and then everything freezes again and we have a chit load of ice but we haven't had any of that yet.
I think these are the chains for the back tires.

We had just over two inches of snow so I removed that from the driveway.
Picture 1528 I'm just getting started, 1529 is pushing the snow to the southside of our driveway, 1530 is some branches that came down yesterday, I moved those so I could plow in that area,1532 is the first of two smaller loads of wood we put in and the last picture is the next two years worth of firewood, 24 face cord of ash.

Was discussing the RTVs with the mechanic on campus the other day. He said the only thing he's noticed an issue with is the ball joints.
They've replaced 3 sets on the one they have, a set on the one we use, and a couple on the ones housing uses but they are an older model.

Something else I can look forward to!
Good news is they're cheap anyway. About $40 from Kubota.
You have to get it off the ground to really see it. Ours only had a slight knock at full lock.
Had the RTV up in on some trails today that I didn't think were wide enough, I was wrong.
This was the first part of the ride with the wife yesterday, it isn't a good picture of the trail that I thought wasn't wide enough but I'll get a better picture soon.
I bucked up what was left of the ash from Saturday and split everything. All the ash was brought down the hill and stacked, its not a full face cord but I think that some of the bigger and smaller rounds we have around the house should make it a full face cord.
There should be two pictures of the trail I made a year or two ago, it was a beautiful day.

It looks like one of your splits is 1/8” longer the the rest of them Zap . Lol
You always have the neatest , straightest piles of wood . Very nice !

When I was still working the wife called because she had a split she had put in that was too long, she was having a hard time getting it in the wood stove. All the splits were on fire so she couldn't take it out but she finally got the longer split in, after that I mark everything before cutting.
How's everyone doing in your family?
I've been running it up the hills more the last few months, I do like the way it climbs the hills in low....especially with the trailer loaded with firewood.
The trails that I thought weren't wide enough are so that was nice. I do have one area that will need trail work before I take the RTV in on the trails.
After plugging the RTV in four an hour so it could warmup, I cleared some trails that had some pine and maple branches across them. Most of the trails near the big pines didn't have enough snow on them to plow yesterday but I did run the RTV over them today which packed them down nice.

Did anyone besides me get the recall on the 1100 for the floor mat ? Idk what it’s all about but I have no time to take it in for a floor mat . Rtv is getting a good workout plowing snow in the driveway and plowing lanes to the woods getting ready for syrup season .
We did too but haven't done anything about it, we haven't had a problem with it yet.

I haven’t had a problem either . If I get a chance I’ll stop over at the kubota dealer and ask .

A recall is for your safety. The Government makes the company
recall units because there have been people hurt. It is up to you
to comply but if you get hurt and have not complied it is on you
no recourse in the courts

We received a second notice through our email so I called the local dealer (service) we bought it from, when I ask him about the first notice we received through the mail and the second notice we received through email, he said both were the same about the mat. He explained to me that if the mat wasn't ripped all they had to do was replace the push pins that hold down the mat, the new push pins are made from a different material so they changed our push pins when we had it in this winter for a fluid/filters changed.
I wonder if they'll give you the new push pins and let you do it or if they have to.

I don't know about the US but in Canada, it has to be done
by the dealer and a sticker attesting to the fact it was done
affixed in the engine compartment giving the Recall number
and date of repair because it is a safety recall
