    Removing Struts from RTV Door

    Just to close this out, the new ball joints just snap right into the struts so it appears that they are just meant to be one time use. If you need to order new struts, just order the ball joints as well. Thanks for the replies.

    Removing Struts from RTV Door

    Well as an update, I was unable to free the ball joints from the struts, so I did in fact order new ball joints. Hopefully, its easier to get them on than it is to get them off.

    Removing Struts from RTV Door

    Thanks for the replies. The pic that Wolfman posted is what mine looks like, which is why I was scratching my head. I will try some oil and elbow grease and see where the day takes me. If my luck holds, the day will take me to my Kubota dealer to get couple new ball joints. :oops:

    Removing Struts from RTV Door

    Does anyone have any advice on how to remove the gas struts on the doors of an RTV 1100c? Mine are shot and need replacing. I see that I can undo the nut that holds the ball in place, but not sure how to get that ball out of the hole on the strut. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

    Stump Grinder

    I just use a GoPro mounted to the underside of the drawbar on mine and then use the live preview in the gopro app. Works great and since I already had the gopro, it was free. :)

    Remote recommendations

    Just for reference, I ordered two remotes (and everything else for install) from my Kubota dealer in February. They came in in late July.

    Aftermarket Step for L6060?

    I have been called a lot of things in my life, but small isnt one of them. I am 6'3" 275lbs. I noticed on my year old L6060 the other day that my step is starting to bow a little. I know specialty repairs makes a step, but i dont really want a double step as I dont need it. Does anyone know...

    L6060, photos of quick attach setup?

    This is the only one I have on hand, probably not going to help much but here you go. I can get a few more later in the week.

    Which Root rake grapples are the toughest?

    I dont have a root rake type, so probably not what you're looking for, but I cant pass up an opportunity to show off my Kubota. I have a Paladin and have been very happy with it. I have spent the last year clearing about 3 acres of trees and of all my attachments, I use the grapple the most...

    LED light upgrades

    Im a huge BD fan. Have 4 LP9s on my truck. I think they would be too much on a tractor. They put out enough light to blind my with just the reflections of street signs and they throw light waaaaay farther then I need in the Kubota. I put a 10" S8 with a Specialty Mods bracket for the front...

    Wood Chipper...PTO or Independent!

    Well, thanks to you I feel dirty about it now. I (dumbly) assumed it was made in Canada, but im old enough I should have known better. :) With that said, having about 30-40 hours on it, I would still recommend.

    Wood Chipper...PTO or Independent!

    Hydraulic yes, but its a canadian company, so designed in canada and made in, ahem, china.

    Wood Chipper...PTO or Independent!

    I have the woodland mills 8" chipper for my L6060 and love it. Just spent memorial day doing a neighborhood project of cutting and chipping mostly small trees along our private road to keep them out of the power lines. Ran it for 7 hours and it chipped everything from small branches to 6-7"...

    Stump Grinders for L6060

    Well, for the record I went a head and ordered one. Ive found on other forums and reviews a few people with tractors in the same HP range as mine that use them with no issues.
