RTV900 Bed Rails

[gec343]

Does anyone know of a source for RTV900XT bed rails?? I've Googled, but find nothing. Thanks in advance.

Note: I lowered my tractor bucket too low while loading sand, thereby slightly crushing the top off the RTV bed. Not too bad, but think that rails would have prevented the damage, plus may hide the present damage, at least somewhat.

Bed rails would be a good idea. I have not seen any that are commercially produced. You could have a metal fab shop build you some stakes with channels for the boards which you could cut/stain/assemble.

What about drilling a few holes in the bed sides and adding some 2X4's to make an upper rail out of wood or plastic?

I made these, more decorative that functional but hold firewood just fine.

Those are perfect. If you are using a loader, and you make a mistake, easier to deal with wood, than metal.

Nice job.

I really like your seating setup. What was your motivation to do that? Any regrets?

Very nice job!! Thanks for all of the replies. I'll probably come up with something. Just hard to believe that some company doesn't manufacture bed rails for the RTV900.

No regrets and if I ever do, I kept the factory bench seat. My wife is the primary user in summer, I use it to plow snow in the winter, and the kids use it to skid out trees in the fall. This is what happens when you want to do something but it is raining outside and you are garage stuck.

I like the seats. What are they from and how much modification did you need to do?

Yes please post model / source for the seats and console. They look great. Ballpark cost would be nice too.

Again thank you for the post.

Yes, please share the seat and console info. Also, did you lose any leg room due to the seat bottom lenght?

I bought the seats from Tractor Supply, when I bought them they were around $80 each, now they are $145.
Seats: Universal Fold-Down Seat, Black - Tractor Supply Co.
Console: GoGear™ Seat Console Storage, Black - Tractor Supply Co.

Simple install, made a plywood base that replaced the bench seat and mounted the bucket seats to the plywood base.
