Hydraulic motors driving them are small and usually trouble free so tucking them in somewhere on an RTV might be possible. Getting the generator running to run the air compressor to pump up the tractor tire to load the generator in the truck to go and charge the excavator batteries got real tired this weekend. That and sitting in the cold plowing snow has got me looking at an RTV. Mike, I see your not too far from me. Do you have an RTV?
Hi Bob,
I have an RTV1100 on order from Emerichs in Ballston Spa. Kevin, the owner, is great to deal with. I have purchased quite a bit of equipment from them and give them high marks. I know it is the way it is supposed to be, but when I go there people actually smile and behave like they are glad I'm there. I guess it's just nice to go into a place of business where the staff doesn't act like you are bothering them.
I put the deposit down about 3 months ago and just waiting to get the call that it's in. If you are in the market for an RTV and want a cab I believe the RTV1100 is worth the wait. This will be my first utility vehicle.
As far as info on implements etc. I think most of us expect that they will be the same, or very similar to the attachments that are available for the RTV900. So I think people are relying on the printed info and web info that has been around for a while for the RTV900.
There is a pamphlet available for the RTV1100 (I have had one since December). The info in the pamphet is identical to the info on the link I sent you earlier.
