Buying Advice RTV rumor - late 2015 --

[MessickFarmEqu]

$7000 or so for a front PTO driven snow blower. Its not cheap, but looks great. will be a hit with governmet, schools, etc. A bit beyond homeowner grade stuff.

its not a standard 540 PTO and lift arms.

Thats a shame it is not a standard PTO/3PT but I agree for schools/Govt's/etc it will be a hit. A cabbed snow blower of that size would be perfect for colleges doing tight areas, sidewalks, etc.... Should be an easy sale to them!
Thanks for the info!

Front mounter blowers are the best, no more sore neck!!

Do the 2015+ RTV's come with the tier 4 motors? hows that "regen" bs?

I would be surprised if the blower wasn't the same as they use for other front mount applications (ie: B/BX tractors or F mowers).

They are all under 25 hp.

It would make sense to leave it the same, they wouldn't have to create a new quick hitch, nor blower but could sell a lot more of both.. would make sense to have it be cross platform campatible

They are all under 25 hp.

....Oh is under 25hp exempt from that regen bs? I seriously thought all tier4 motors had to have that stuff so I was seriously considering a used RTV or a cheap 2WD gas gator instead.. I just remember we lucked out and picked up a new 2012 b2620 in 2013 without that crazy emissions stuff.

only over 25.9 engine HP. No DPF canister under that HP range. Your B2620 is a great tractor, but those did not get a DPF either.

Nice to see at least one manufacturer that is actually keeping the utility in mind for their utility vehicles. Not wild styling, enough speed for the interstate and alloy wheels for christs sake! That would be a nice machine for sidewalk clearing.

I do kinda wish they would increase the top speed to at least 35 MPH on the RTV-X1100 cab so that I didn't have to keep atv's for trail riding.

A 65 mile trail ride would get a little long at 25 MPH.

When is this new hydraulic option going to be released?
