I have the same set-up and have run over 200 hrs. pushing snow in the mountains of Utah just this year. I had two weld breaks in the last three seasons, including this year on front grill protector that holds Boss plow. I reenforced with extra metal. Outside of occasional low center issues in heavy snow conditions and the weld breaks it's been a fantastic machine...the envy of all the guys pushing big rigs.
No breaks here. Snow not so deep in SE Michigan. Only issues I have are shifting is clunky and seat is not as comfortable as driving a truck.
@@CREENBIRDVideos I moved to utah from Michigan 15 years ago....from SE Michigan Clinton Township. There is no comparison to the snow we get here, living off-grid two miles up a mountain road just east of Park City. I have so much snow in my yard right now it is over my fence. My RTV has over 600 hours of very heavy use plowing mountain roads besides my driveway. My shifting is a also a bit clunky. In my situation a little more horsepower would be helpful.
Thats a very nice setup the kubota has alot of power the blade was a perfect match for that machine 👍👍😎
2 years later and machine is still working as new. Had to replace cutting edges once. Nothing but normal maintenance done to RTV. The industrial tires last longer than the mud/snow setup.
Great video. Very quick and effective machine. Thanks so much for sharing!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for commenting!!!
I have an 1120D that i mounted a 3 spring 7.5' western straight blade on. I am honestly so impressed every time i use it. The machine pushes better than most half ton trucks would with a plow that size.
These new Kubota RTV are so impressive compared to the older 1100 and 900 we had. I think they push almost as much as a Jeep or small 4x4 pickup.
The only 2 issues I have is the shifting from forward to reverse can be a little clunky and you cannot drive this machine on roads to go site to site.
@@CREENBIRDVideos where you at, in northern mn we can drive them on roads, just need headlights and taillights. Totally road legal, use arm for signals.
I love your video because you showed almost the worst plowing condition!🤗
Glad you liked it! Thanks for your comment!
I have the same setup for my home here. This machine is incredible at pushing snow. I do find the industrial tires are great for snow traction. No UTV will compete with it for this purpose.
Couldn't agree more! They also haul an amazing amount of dirt in the bed. They pull field equipment really well too.
This is weird. I didn't buy an RTV1100C until this summer.....
Well done! Very helpful. Thank you.
Thanks for commenting. Glad you enjoyed the video.
That machine is impressive! I would like to see more videos of this machine in action. Subscribed.
Thanks, will do! Machine is a workhorse. We use to drag fields, haul and dump material, and general athletic field and grounds maintenance. I wouldn't recommend if you are looking for a recreational toy.
That would do a great job clearing the trail. :-)
Works great on pavement. The v plows are way too aggressive for gravel, grass or dirt.
The older straight blade Curtis Plow worked good on the trails as long as they were frozen.
The old 1100 Kubota would not push snow like these new ones do!
Thanks for the video.
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for commenting. Please like and subscribe, thanks!!!
@@CREENBIRDVideos you're welcome and I will do
Nice
Thanks, Glad You enjoyed the video!
If I were you, I'd get some wings for it and cut your time down by 1/3 and in some cases maybe even by half. No more windrows to go back and clean up and you can turn more easily without spillage depending on the depth of course. You can also of course push a lot more snow and pile higher. In my truck with my 8.2 DXT, which is now a 10.2 with the wings, I can pile snow sometimes close to 10' with the right type of snow. Not sure how high you can pile in a Kubota but I'm assuming the Boss has the same ramping ability as the truck plow. They are light and can be taken on and off in seconds with a pull of the spring loaded pin and can be thrown in the back of your ride if you are too wide for the area you are plowing. The mounting brackets are easily installed by yourself or the dealer. The main surface area is made of poly and the blade is made of a very tough 2" rubber. I thought the blade would wear down like an eraser but I'm on my third year and have been real rough with them and they still have years left, plus you can adjust them down as they wear. They run around $1000 and will pay for themselves in the 1st year. My guess is you won't want to take them off. I haven't , except for one time I needed to get through a gate and then I felt naked without them and wondered why I didn't get them sooner. Time is money and I guarantee you will have time to make a lot more.
We don’t normally use these machines for large lots, only for this video or when one of our trucks break down. We usually use the Kubota on sidewalks, safety paths and narrow areas.
I’ve used wings on 8 foot blades before with great success. We also use a 10 foot blade on a large dump truck for larger lots. Thanks for commenting and liking the video. Please subscribe!!!
I have ordered a 2022 model with the HDW tires. I never see anyone on CZcams running tire chains when plowing snow. I live in the Colorado foothills and my dealer tells me he doesn't know anyone who runs them with chains, just not a pleasant ride. My driveways are relatively flat, but the roads to/from are fairly steep. We may get a slushy spring snow, but hardly ever ice. I found on my John Deere 2320 (current plow machine) I absolutely have to chain up the rear worksite tires in the winter. Thoughts?
I never plowed with this unit on pure ice, I would only think you would need chains for ice or plowing heavy snow off of hard pack/icy conditions. My opinion only. Everything we use these on is plowed then salted. These V plows dig into gravel or unpaved roads.
@@CREENBIRDVideos Thank you so much for your quick reply. Colorado is known for it's champagne powder which neither packs or is heavy. Conversely we do get the heavy wet spring storms but ice is typically not an issue. I think I'll save the $450.00 on two sets of chains and order if I find I need them. On my current set up with a John Deere tractor I weld 1-1/2" pipe on the bottom of the entire cutting edge to get more float on my blade saving my gravel. Again, I am not dealing with hard pack so it moves the snow without pushing my road surface off the ledge of the hill the it is cut into.
I live in the mountains of Utah and would be getting stuck without my v-bar chains on my RTV with same Boss plow.
@@jeromeserra2521 Thank you Jerome; I simply could not wait another year for the RTV so ended up purchasing a Polaris Ranger 1000. I also live in the mountains in Colorado and surprisingly I have yet to need chains (fingers crossed). I really appreciate your reply.
Would tracks be good to put on RTV 1100 when you are pushing snow
Not sure. Machine seems to only be limited by curbs and parking lot design. Our biggest obstacle is snow storage. Pushing on pavement so far has been very good.
I’m sure if you were clearing or grooming trails, tracks would be better.
How long does one tank of diesel last while plowing?
All day long.
Excellent thanks for your response.
How long do the cutting edges last?
Not sure. We haven’t had to switch them out yet. The last 2 winters we haven’t had a lot of snow.
We have had some snow the last couple weeks and the cutting edge is almost ready for replacement. We do have rough pavement which is tougher on the edges than newer smooth pavement.
how would the new kubota xg do compared to this 1100c diesel?
I’m not sure. I’ve never demo’d one. I can say this diesel is a lot more powerful and better suited for plowing than the older rtv 900 and 1100 we used to have.
Unfortunate this setup is the price of a truck and plow. I still love it however and nice video. Keep it up
@@JoelSherwood yes the price is unfortunately very high right now if you can find one. It does go many places a truck can’t and has uses in all 4 seasons as well. The most annoying thing is that you can’t travel on roads to go from site to site.
will this set work on my 2019 Kubota sidekick?
I’m not sure. You would have to check with your dealer. This plow is not much smaller than a 1/2 ton truck plow set up.
What’s the part/model no of your plow. I want to buy the same one.

@@CREENBIRDVideos heavy duty springs?
@@vincentgambino7879 set up from dealer. Don’t believe so, but I can’t be 100% sure. It rides like it should when plow is taken off.
@@CREENBIRDVideos excellent. I’m about to sign papers on a 1100 with the boss setup. Very exciting. These damn things are so overpriced though in reality. Thanks for the info and the videos. Was a real impact on my buying decision between this or the gator unit
@@vincentgambino7879 we bought 1 1/2 years ago with state bid assistance. I can’t remember the price but we got good discount.
You better be getting paid per hour. Damn these blades are small.
We mostly use these machines for sidewalks, safety paths and small drives. Sometimes we will use them on bigger lots when time restraints warrant. If one of our bigger trucks break down we can still keep plowing with one of these as a back up as well. The purpose of the video was to show what these small machines are capable of. Thanks for commenting! Hope you enjoyed the video. Hourly Seasonal.
I have a John Deere 6x4 does anyone plow snow with it?
I put a small plow on a old 4x2 gator. It plowed “4 and under quite well as long as the pavement wasn’t icy underneath. Bags of sand or salt in the bed help along with snow chains.
I plowed for years with my 6x4 gator. Has a lot of low end power for pushing. If snow was wet or packed I'd put on chains. Always load the bed with weight.
what is the price
We bought two of them 2 1/2 years ago, around $22k each. I’m sure they are a considerable amount more if you can find one?
Drive faster
Will do !!!
