The RTV-XG850 Throttle Design Flaw - any Fixes?

As I wrote on TBN a few minutes ago:

I consider it a major safety issue, personally. I was ready and - I thought prepared - for it and I was still surprised by it. It is very easy to have an out of control forward or rearward acceleration with this thing. Furthermore, doing fine work - like spraying around buildings, trees etc. or moving it to service it on the rack - is extremely difficult and frustrating.

There is simply no excuse for this condition to still exist after almost 3 years...

1120D - Steering When Not Running

Last weekend, the seven year old battery died in our X1120. I was able to get it going again with a jump pack and taking a replacement battery to install this coming weekend. I have never dived into hydro-static steering or how it works. But I understand the steering wheel is not directly connected to the steering arm or tie rod ends. It is instead connected to actuator valves.

If this is true, do you have steering when the RTV becomes disabled and you have to tow it with the steering...

T4.85 showing 2098 code

Any ideas on the 2098 code. What I can find is an electronic issue with the dump valve. I replaced the coil on the valve and still have the issue. Fine when cool, as it gets to operating temp it will code. Self clears after a few minutes. Example, 20 bales to unload and stack, on bale 17 it coded. Coded 5 more times on the last 3 bales. Next day same thing only coded on bale 16. Dealer says it’s electrical but I’m not so sure. Only other symptoms is hydraulic pressure/flow drops off as it...

B21 Bogs down for no apparent reason

I have a 1999 B21 that was abused by it's previous owner. It runs great in a straight line. When I turn hard to the left or the right, it starts blowing black smoke and bogs down. That means it;s acting like it's under a heavy load. I've also noticed that if I start moving the bucket up and down when it starts doing that, then it starts to run right but only as long as I'm moving the bucket. This makes me think that the problem could somehow be in the hydraulics...

I'm totally confused.

Joined the Green Team

Well after being on Team Blue for 17 years I sold my little New Holland in 2020 and bought a Kubota L3301. After a little less than 3 years of ownership I traded the Kubota for a new John Deere 3039r. It goes along with the little LT150 that I picked up for a steal last year from a co-worker because he couldn't get it to start.

I had the Deere setup for a 3rd function on the front for a hopefully soon to come manure fork with a grapple. I also had them convert the loader from the Deere Hook...

Hydraulic filter problems

I took my hydraulic filter off, which is underneath the tractor. (YM 2000) and in front of the transmission. Cleaned it and tried to reinstall it, but there seems to be something in the hole where the filter goes, causing the filter not to go in all the way. Any help appreciated. Txs. Pumba/timone

How long did your RTV-X Battery Last?

Had a great Father's Day weekend with all my kids in attendance and the RTV got a good workout. On the last ride, my Son in law was putting it away so we could pack up and it wouldn't turn over. When you would turn on the key, I saw an ERR1 and an ERR2 on the information display. Assuming it was a low battery condition, I used my jump pack and she fired right off.

Due to an approaching storm, I decided to just yank out the battery and bring it home to test/charge. The little green eye on...
