We are planning some roads through some rough terrain. Through some advanced GIS data we are able to get fairly accurate elevation values at 100' intervals along the proposed roads. Assume a purely vertical slope - by that I mean the path will be flat in the direction perpendicular to the way...

Also if you have a blowout on a dual tandem you can just limp to the tire shop but if you have a blowout with triple singles you are going to be changing a tire before you go anywhere or else you’re going to ruin a rim

I had a belshe equipment trailer with triple 7s. It worked ok but I much prefer a dual tandem.

I have a 2015 RTV I bought new. Two of them actually. The battery went bad a few months ago on one that we use several times a week and I replaced it. Figured it was about time being seven years old. The second UTV I don’t use as often as it is kept at a remote property one hour away. The...

I own three RTVs with tweels on them. We have had them two years. They perform better in virtually all conditions than tires and we operate in all conditions. I have had them in about seven states and conditions from swampy to rocky hills. We primarily use them because they don’t get sidewalk...

Thanks guys. You got the gears turning and I can figure this out now.

Thanks for the replies. I guess my issue is making the mark more than anything. I plan on making the cut with a torch. I can calculate vertically where the marks need to be. If say for example I was working with square tubing and not pipe I could make my marks and use a square to transfer them...

I have 2-7/8” oilfield pipe set vertically in the ground for a shed. It is already concreted in the ground. I need to cut the tops off at desired height with a 2/12 (9.5 degree) angle so I can weld the I beam for the rafter resting on top of the pipes. I have one of those gadgets that slips...

It is insured against theft but not sure if the policy covers an accident or not.

That is not at all my intention. I am not asking from a thing from Kubota. I called my dealer and asked him to find me a new one. I honestly just thought the rops was stronger than it is. That is all. We rolled it down a hill. Totally our fault. The driver was uninjured and was able to work the...

From where the RTV started sliding to where it stopped was approximately 200' horizontally and a drop of 90' -24 degrees or 45% slope. I was looking at it in more detail and the frame is cracked on both sides. Attached are pictures. I am in no way trying to bash on the RTVs. I own five and I...

It is very thin. To me it looks about like 14ga.

I wouldn’t really call it modified either. It had a sun shade canopy and the tweels both were added by the dealer at the time of purchase. Modified to me would be if we had a lift kit or welded something on to or drilled holes in the rops. We did not. The canopy was clamped on.

It wasn’t a cliff. The trail it was onwe created with a dozer last week. The Kubota drove down it two times before flipping on the third. The slope wasn’t straight down it had a slight sideways tilt to it. I think what happened is a front tire fell into a small hole and the rear end starting...

I will get more pictures later the unit is currently on the trailer in route back to my house. The driver was headed down a very steep slope and the RTV slid sideways and rolled over from what he recalls it rolled once or twice and then threw him out and then continued to roll down to the bottom...
