Hood rack for an RTV-900...

JOHNTHOMAS · Aug 31, 2011

I bought the HF winch holder for my RTV1140 so I can take it off and on easy and quick. Also can put it in front or back of RTV. Working on quick disconnect for power now.
Have the 3000lb winch from Advance auto that was about $89 with one of the Advance Auto discount coupons that are always on Fatwallet.com

My Great Day hood rack showed up for my RTV900. I though I was good to go with the installation, after all, I had good pictures to work from thanks to Al.

Surprise, I guess Kubota has more than one front brush guard design, mine is different than the one in Al's pictures. Regardless, I found a way to get the hood rack installed. It took drilling new holes on the mounting brackets and having to notch the tubing where the rack support hooks to the ROP mounted receiving brackets.

Very nice rack, well made and priced right. Good value if you don't mind the little bit of extra effort in getting it installed.

I think that I see the problem: The front arms are supposed to go IN FRONT of the grill, not behind it. I realize that they are at risk out there, but you're not supposed to ram dead trees like I do :laughing:

I shot some video today of the hood rack that may answer some questions that this discussion missed.

I think that the main point is that you CAN see over cargo on the rack when you're driving. (At least I can, and I'm not tall.)

I'm going to make another posting of this as a universal solution since it isn't fair to consider it just a solution for Kubotas.
