RTV-X1140 LED light install

Installed Nilight LEDs + Nilight wiring harnesses (they include relays, fuses, and rocker switches) on the RTV over the holidays. For power, I ran a dedicated 12ga DC positive wire directly from the positive battery terminal. No new holes were drilled anywhere on the RTV for the install (well, except to mount the dc positive terminal to the inner fender under the hood). I used t-brackets from Lowes for the rear light mounts and "modified" Simpson strong tie mounts (also from Lowes) for the...

Here's a "Talk About Anything" - 2021 - 22 edition

This is just like the old one, talk about whatever.
The other thread is getting a bit too large so we'll use this one going forward.
The other will remain but this new one should reduce overhead and load times.

RTV X1100C Passenger Seat Back Removal

Stupid question time. When installing my seat covers couldn't figure out how to remove said item to secure the cover with the velcro strips...and there is no access behind it. When I installed my hitch extension/skid I looked at it again before leaving and still couldn't figure it out...but only spent a few minutes because it got cold real quick. Parts catalog "vaguely" shows 1 or 2 bolts securing it, but I just couldn't find them. Do I have to remove the interior back panel to access...

UTV Hitchworks Receiver Extension/Skid Plate and Transmission Plate

This one's for you TechJunkie...and anyone else interested.

This afternoon I stopped by work to install the Hitchworks UTV-XECP kit and was pleasantly surprised how easy it was. The quality is excellent and they even included the extra hardware needed for the later Model 2020 and up RTV-X900, x1100, x1120 and x1140. My X1100CW was mfg late 2017 so this was not needed and I and can't comment as it applies. Only needed 3 metric sockets, an extension, a ratchet...and a mallet to bust loose...

First Plow With RTV1100

Finally got to try it out. Only got this pic, as I had to drive it when plowing, LOL Impressions:

Heater will melt you in cab.

Not a lot of snow yet, but it rained and froze first, so driveway is glare ice on the gravel. You couldn't walk on it. Then got a layer of wet snow that froze. Then it snowed last couple days, but 70 KPH winds have blown most of it away.
I did have to do some counter steering and pedal the throttle when I made a full width pass UP the driveway. It doesn't look like...

Hand Throttle Question

Can someone tell me why the manual for the 1100C states not to use the hand throttle while driving the vehicle? Also, what is the difference in the optional hand throttle kit that Messicks sells as apposed to the pull up type on the 1100C?
Would there be any issue setting the pull throttle to half speed while plowing snow?
