@@LadyGodiva-hi3ym Hi Lady. Apologies for late reply. I have had an onslaught of visitors as of late. What a bummer that your bike is missing. I hope it was insured by shipper. Now on to your question. I think AWD is the way to go. I doubt you will use FWD, however, you will use AWD and RWD. RWD will be the most judicious of use of battery power.. The AWD will be your workhorse for tough hills. If using off terrain, that bike with its wait will want to run on you when going down hills fyi. Be vigilant with your brakes. Hope you love it.

Chris I have not noticed a flashing blue light. If I were to take a stab in the dark my guess would be the following: 1.) Light blinks when the Start button is pressed and the camera is counting down to activation. 2.) There is a setting in the menu that allows you test your placement of the camera and whether the camera can detect motion. While in this "test" mode when the camera detects motion the Red light will flash. Can you take another swing at what you are asking?

@@WoodShopby2DumbAsses thank you for getting back to me, many thanks, and thanks for the podcast. My sister is using my camera for a special reason. They noticed that while her husband walked past at night, to do a test; the blue light remained flashing. We think this happened because the app was open on the phone at the time. Because, when the camera was re- placed, another time the light stayed off. All the best

@@chrisbarry6217 I have not noticed a blinking light once the camera has been put into "start" mode. It sounds like you have it fixed with a replacement camera. Thank you for your viewership and comments and keep us in the loop if the problem comes back or you resolve it.

Hi Steve. First off thanks for your viewership. When I was at Rambo, the one thing they articulated was that taking care of the battery was one of the most important things I should do, with regard to storage, charging and draining. That stated, your question is an interesting one. My guidance would be to talk or e-mail Rambo, I would want you to have the most correct answer.

@midwesthuntingoutdoors Thank you for taking the time to reply. I appreciate it. After doing some additional online research, I stumbled across a factor that may be more of a hurdle. The frame size. It appears it only comes in one size (19½). That's a large, I believe. Since I'm 5'9, that's out of my tip toe range.

@@stevegosnell6797 Steve they have a couple of new entries that are step threws. Very nice bikes. New for 2024

@midwesthuntingoutdoors Yes, sir. Those look nice and would be preferable, especially with hunting clothes on. I'm researching those now. One has to look at every detail because not every step through comes with what i consider a fat tire. Some are 3" instead of 4.5" or greater. Will that decrease traction and climbing ability? That's something I need to read more on.

Hi David, First off thanks for your viewership. No need to push that unless you want to force a region apart from a scheduled region that will happen automatically. I was doing some mowing the other day with my brush hog. The regen automatically started. I made sure the throttle was high enough to complete the region and kept on mowing. Within 10-15 minutes it completed the cycle. I hope this was helpful.

Always!

Deer love those sweet sunflower tops when they are young. We have have great luck with sunflowers, however Dumb Ass #2 has always surrounded the plot with an electric fence and this year we did not put up the fence. We will have to see the results! We love the millet idea.

Ryan we have been wanting to experiment with sorghum however maybe millet is the way to go! Appreciate the comment and viewership.

TheButterflyGirl7. First off thank you for your viewership and appreciate the subscribe. Glad the video helped. One other item you might want to look into is whether your slip clutch is rusted. If you store your mower outside like most folks, my hunch is that it is rusted and not slipping properly. Joel put together a good video on how to trouble shoot and fix that. It is also in our library of videos FYI. Good luck. Be safe.

Butterflygirl if you remove the bolt and keep it, you can take it to the local hardware store and get a replacement. The key is to get the correct hardness or softness, depending how you look at it. Remember these bolts are designed to break before causing damage to your tractor. It might have been your first shear bolt, however it will not be your last, so stock up. Best of luck and thank you for the comment and viewership.

Thank you for the reply. I took it in and got another couple of them at Kubota. My driveline doesn't have a slip clutch. It has that little button you push and then stick it onto the PTO. I haven't done that by myself yet but today I have to take it off so I can put the new shear bolt on. * I know it sounds silly but I'm scared of pinching my finger when I push the release button on the driveline. (Last year I chopped a piece of my finger in the hood on this tractor so clearly I'm not intuitive 😂) When I push in the button to release the driveline, can I use like a screwdriver or something to push it in so I don't get my tiny finger caught in there while I'm pulling the driveline off?

Take a couple of pictures and send to our email and we will get you a response. 😊

Thank you very much. I got your email and sent you some questions and pictures. I sure appreciate your time 😊

Josh the problem with predators is when you lower the population of one species (aka racoons) another species takes its place. Lower racoon population and coyotes increase not to mention skunks. Josh thanks for the comments and viewership!

Give blood and get a free t-shirt! Thanks for the comments and viewership.

Not sure what to say about this David.

Mine will go 22+ mph. I would state these RTV can be adjusted for power or for speed. You also have an intermediate throttle knob on your left side if you need it. One of the best comments I got was from a dealer. These are RTVs are basically like a tractor. They have tons of power and can work all day long. Not really set up for speed. However, when running their air conditioner and going up a hill if it’s a long enough hill or steep enough incline, I have problems. I have chosen to leave the set up for Power because I can throttle on the air conditioner off versus on when I’m going up the hill. I do think it’s an issue. Kubota needs to deal with.

I will give it a try. Thank you for the suggestion and viewership

I have had this for almost a year and still very satisfied.

Jerry you are welcome and thanks for the viewership

First off, thanks so much for your viewership. It does have a pull button to act as a burst for distinct challenging situations. Putting it in low does not rectify the situation. I have some pretty steep hills. it will die on climbing iff you are using power for something else such as A/C. For me in those situations. I just shut it off and roll down the window. That stated the unit is a work horse.

You are so correct on the wind blow. I need to push the snow to the East and then I have no problems with drift. Love mine for plowing. Tysm for your viewership and comment.

Do you know what pressures they updated. I would sure be interested

@@midwesthuntingoutdoors Service Manager at a Kubota dealership here. The issues we saw were related to bogging while driving uphill. The "fix" was to adjust the HST pump charge pressure down. Reduced load on the engine at the expense of top speed uphill. This "fixed" the uphill bogging, but customers reported they were still unable to climb hills faster than 3-5mph depending on grade. It's a tractor, not a side by side, and I think Kubota and Sales Departments have not been clear about the intended application for this machine. As you said, it's a workhorse. It will outperform any Honda/Yamaha/Polaris gas side-by-side when it comes to brute power (plowing, hauling, ranch work, etc). However, it is not nearly as quick as those machines, particularly on grades.

I have to agree with you Dejayze! Thanks for the comment and viewership.

Dallas21, I am very happy with mine also! Thank you for the comment and viewership.

First off appreciate your viewership and also the other comments. I found the Kubota to be an awesome snow removing machine.

Is this the same 3-point hitch on Orange aftermarket? It might be OK for a back blade for snow or light dirt work. Not a fan of electrical accessories that exposed to the cold, wet, and salt.

The one that I saw was not from Orange aftermarket it's made by UTV Hitchworks and they state it is an hydraulic unit with 800 Bls of down presser you can view it at the youtub side I've attache to this reply UTV Hitchworks - Tricked Out RTV 900 with Hydraulic 3-Point Hitch and Landscape Rake

Thanks for sharing!

I had it into the service shop. They affirmed what I stated in video. I am glad you don’t have the same issue.

Do you have a low range on yours and it still stalled out❤❤​@@midwesthuntingoutdoors

@@chuckb9867 Hi Chuck. It has High, low and reverse. That is an affirmative on the stall even in low with A/C on.

@@midwesthuntingoutdoors Mine is a 2014 and also will try and stall on hills with the a/c running ..

You are correct it certainly does.

First off Urim appreciate your viewership. With regards to power, it has a ton of power. I used it this winter with snow plowing and had absolutely no issues with it. In fact it was a beast. However, with it being hydrostatic, the power is shared across power systems. So if you are putting a lot of stress, I.E going up a steep hill, running A/C etc it try to adjust but depending on the hill it can't. I took it to the service people. We ent up some long shallow hills and it did struggle but re-adjusted the power effectively. One of the items we discussed was readjusting the power to the drive, but then it would have essentially been a weaker drive system. Something I decided against doing. That stated, it comes down to how you will be using it. I wish it was great on steep hills, but it's not. So when I am, I turn of the A/C and have it in low. It does a lot of things great, just not that. Love the diesel engine. I think the ATV is just about bullet proof otherwise. Hopefully this is helpful.

Thanks for the visit

Belindacain7469 you can view the video or pics on the camera by following these instructions on page 18 in the manual. www.meidase.com/instruction-manual/ or you can remove the SD card and place it in your PC and view using the file manager function. I remove the SD card and swap it out for a new one and then move it to my PC for easier browsing and viewing, however a lot of different ways to skin that cat.

Thank you!

my pleasure

I believe we used 3/8”. Thanks for your viewership

I used 3/8 of an inch staple and they worked well. Thanks for your question and viewership.

Jeff that is exactly what I ended up doing. It worked well. Thank you for your viewership and comment

thank you

You got that right!

they make a great and cheapest sidewalk machines for towns and cities sidewalks wich is nice and uses compact tractor front mount hitch and same attachments the kubota compact tractor uses wich kubotas pretty smart @@midwesthuntingoutdoors

Jason thank you for the feedback! We do have some footage of the Lem 12 in the homemade dogfood episode. czcams.com/video/69o3XOHcY2I/video.htmlsi=jAjq-o06guLfLSgz

We appreciate the comments and viewership.

Thanks Jeremy!

appreciate the comments

Nope unfortunately it was after warranty had expired. An obvious failure point though for sure.

Not covered under the warranty!

Jared I am sorry my review didn’t give you a good feel for what you were buying. I have the same wattage grinder as you. For large applications, dealing with facia, material etc.. It’s simply couldn’t do the job, whereas the big bite has no problems with that. I also bought the attachment with a foot pedal and have been very happy with that. We made sausage, bratwurst, and burgers this year, and had no issues, wish you best of luck Pal

Win let us know how it works out! I see Amazon is running some coupons and you can get up 40% off some models. We appreciate your viewership, subscription and comments.

thatkoakid thats for watching and the comment

Brian I have had 2 cameras strapped to trees for 5 months now with zero water issues. It has been dry in Southern Iowa however they have definitely been exposed to rain and snow.
